Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Too few do boots in pools,
And swim.
Many might cause ripples,
Crossing streams with them.
...

Not playing hard to get.
Not playing at all.
Or hardly interested.
...

When I lifted my head,
To shake the burdens off my back...
My face was towards the Sun,
And I was off my knees
...

Quicker comes,
The lift of the veil.
A shift of conscious for some,
Who have prevailed in faith
...

Suspended are the judgements of the judgers.
Taken aback...
Are those who hid manipulations with deceit.
...

Of course I like to mingle,
When the fun is piping hot.
Being around those single...
After making two divorce stops?
...

Perhaps it is a blessing,
Their racist ways have separated them.
At least it is clear...
Once they completely remove themselves,
...

Traps of sadness,
Are set for those unconsious.
So determined deceptions are...
To have them suitable for your tracks.
...

Nuts have been cracked from their shells,
And their secret taste now scatters.
The ingredients to flavor on pictured menus shown...
Are not the same,
...

Baited with sweet talk she thought,
Sugared and creamed...
Would smoke screen her demons.
It was obvious then as it's apparent right now...
...
