Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Undone to undo...
Those passionate insights.
Individuality disconnected,
To a symbolic way of life.
...

You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
...

It depends on if you are serious.
I can only show I am...
If you say you are.
...

Teach me not to nibble and feed,
On an appetite of my own selfish needs.
I am seeking a new diet,
That inspires a fresh insight.
...

It wasn't me!
But you who were maneuvered,
To move in and sleep...
With the demon.
...

Did I mention,
My black eye pea stew to you?
Well...
This is what you do.
...

The information I received,
I got from you.
I'm only restating to you what was heard.
And now you say,
...

To embrace and know one's identity from birth,
Is not a rare occurrence...
As those on the pursuit to impress others,
Would want many to believe.
...

The storm swept away
Straying camouflaged reminders
Of coverups and rusting grins.
A full cleansing has taken place
...

Have the happiest of holidays.
Live each moment as if you have been gifted!
Know that you have...
And begin to unwrap and witness the glow within!
...
