Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No more...fearful innuendos.
No more. No more.
No more fearful innuendos.
No more. No more.
...

You have had a good time,
Most of your life.
As you made jokes of others...
And mocked their deprived way of life.
...

Wait a minute.
Hold up!
Let's use some intelligence,
With the aid of perception here.
...

'I don't want to hear...
Another thing from you,
Young man!
Do you understand? '
...

A sudden hindsight that comes to someone,
To stun with an insight that happens overnight...
With a clarity that enlightens those activities,
One then unconsciously in the past had done...
...

There are no ties I wish to keep,
With anyone seeking to enter playgrounds.
Wanting to reminisce a swinging on swings.
Or those seesawing near remembered sandboxes.
...

Only a very few,
Have the self confidence to do for others...
Without feeling they deserve an attention to get.
And only a very few,
...

Precious and delicate,
This fragile life to us given to experience.
And taken for granted it is everyday.
Until with a sudden quickess it ends.
...

A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
...

There is no 'me'...
To experienced alone,
Condoning this...
In a you and I relationship.
...
