Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They choose to be about nothing.
That's why they are about it!
It takes all their effort,
To get clothed to gossip.
...

Evolving in a re-evaluation.
A higher consciousness...
Of a superior invisible mind shifts!
Taking all with it.
...

You don't like it?
You don't have to.
It does not depend,
On what attitude you are in.
...

Posturing,
Upon your fears.
To have you pay,
For years and years.
...

I can not override your guilt maintained
By sweetening my experiences,
I alone have obtained.
...

Whatever we do tonight.
Who's going to say what we do
Is wrong or right
And why should we care?
...

These matters would not exist...
If not discussed,
With such digusted persistence.
...

Inside with You, My Lord.
Inside to shoulder and release tensions.
Putting aside my own intentions and stubborn pride.
I'm inside with You.
...

Beneath the tree
That falling leaves descended from,
I stand.
Thinking of the changes,
...

Did you know my heart ached?
And felt broken into pieces
When you decided to split us up.
Although I did miss you...
...
