Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When burdens begin to lift,
Up off the carrier's shoulders.
A fresh smell of life,
Is noticed to have a wonderful and sparkling 'taste'.
...

So much more is this,
Just a gathering of English words.
There is an emotional attachment to them.
With every period ending,
...

You are not perfect.
No matter how long you rehearse.
Nor should you give up your quest,
To do what you do and be at your best.
...

Some write,
Showing an ineptness as an appetite.
Enjoying the feast of it.
Without a nibble digested.
...

When it has been made clear,
There is nothing you share with someone...
Other than sex.
Nothing but a togetherness,
...

We are here representing the elements.
The Sun, Moon and Stars.
Molded from the Earth.
In animation condensed.
...

Wouldn't it be a fantastic discovery,
If it was uncovered...
That the process of thought,
Was a natural occurrence.
...

Don't you feel sometimes that people just should hush.
And give a rest to their mouths and keep them shut.
Even if taped or glued to prevent the rush.
Don't you feel sometimes that people just should hush.
...

If you are volunteering your services,
That is exactly what that means.
Your services are consciously volunteered.
...

Total breakdown.
In respect.
Total breakdown.
In discipline one should get.
...
