Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Would you ask a mason,
To build you a home?
Because it appears...
He enjoys laying bricks.
...

Do you read and leave,
Without feeling the content?

Do you receive the message...
...

Why now you all up in my 'grill'?

You've dropped my heart,
That stopped.
...

What is it that you wish to accomplish,
In my space?

Mimics or mocking done,
...

I don't see how you can eat that meat.
Ripe and dripping moisture licked.
And oozing a rich nectar...
To satisfy your inviting tongue.
...

Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.

And waiting for some annoucement...
...

To acknowledge that I 'am'
Who I 'am' and in the 'now'
Of my life!
Is for me a major achievement.
...

The petty zest and zealers,
Are going to be there.
They will not be pleased,
If there is nothing to despair.
...

Did you dropp your smile?
Something is missing on your face.
And I know I haven't seen that in a while.
...

These gifts we've been blessed with,
Are not ours to keep.
To receive in selfish hoarding.
We must deliver them,
...
