Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

mmm...
That was delicious.
And seasoned to taste.
...

Do you think,
If I thought I was perfect...
I'd be walking around like a damn peacock?
Flaunting my beauty.
...

Acquaintances they had,
With an assortment of personas known!
No one grew to know identities true.
A superficiality was all they shared.
...

Keep me informed,
When you think you see dawn.
And you are through with darkness
That supplied subdued restlessness.
...

Thank you!
As long as readers like yourself,
Discover that I don't make sense...
At least 'something' has been achieved!
...

Father...
Remember that dude You freaked out,
When You caught him smoking weed?
And he set that bush on fire?
...

If you believe something is being done...
What difference is it if there isn't?
As long as it is a work-in-progress,
The anticipation is heightened.
...

People only see what they choose to see.
And at their convenience.
Even though what is seen has been there,
And observed by others for many years...
...

Respect the mind,
And all it gives.
Respect a friend,
For all that friend is!
...

One day you will come to experience,
The pain others have known.
The ones who have shown this...
And walked alone.
...
