Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am quite fractured when we are detached.
When you have feelings I can not touch,
I am concerned more than you realize
About that.
...

I know this may be painful for you to hear.
But there are very few people,
With wishes and desires to comprehend your needs.
...

Never will these wounds known that I carry,
Affect you directly.
When I earned my scars you were not involved.
Not to see them inflicted when I enlisted,
...

Trust.
Not.
Anything somebody says,
To plant and keep inside your head.
...

Wouldn't it be wonderful...
If reality provided each one of us with escapes.
To celebrate those moments.
And we were free to place orders,
...

Absorb I do your kisses sweet.
In dreams so vivid
As I awaken from a deep and restful sleep.
...

May I lay upon your essence fresh.
With morning dew as the Sun slowly rises,
In bluing skies.
...

Admire,
I do...
You.
...

Silver frosted ornaments.
Are carefully packed to move,
To a place where there is cheaper rent.
Many Christmases here have been spent.
...

To whatever that is sustaining your thoughts.
And whatever your beliefs are that has brought you here...
To experience 'your' life as it is.
Ask of 'It' to lift you from conflict.
...
