Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

High that five up,
High that five.
Give it up, give it up.
High that five up,
...

You want it staid and kept measured.
Within boundaries you value.
So you say.
Pleasuring a stagnant and irresistable existence?
...

Button down your hatches quick...
You lassies fast grabbing lads.
Pull up your britches over your hips.
The commander comes to inspect the ship.
...

So much goes unsaid,
Between those sharing a relationship.
But uncommitted to communicate.
...

Seek many do,
With a wish to reign...
And over others rule.
With a desire to create,
...

What I love most about the truth,
Is the way it treats deceivers.
And how it exposes those who lie.
As if to do it with a clinical blatantness.
...

When I was chased away,
From all of my hiding places...
I began to see,
My masks on so many faces.
...

Declaration of ownership?
I look at that this way
You pay for guardianship,
And that's it.
...

It's too early for many to see the dawn.
And much too late for it to dawn on some,
With or without the light of day appearing...
In clearing skies.
...

What's going on?
What is this all about?
And why is that guy standing,
With his hands above his head.
...
