Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Barriers aren't meant to stop us!
Those that come stocked,
With mental blocks dropped...
To inconvenience.
...

Touch me!
Now close your eyes.
Touch me again.
'I can't!
...

Left and lost...
Without love felt
To share on shitty city streets.
...

I am so glad You let me earn You.
So glad Your love for me...
I have not taken for granted.
...

We bring to each other what we have,
At that moment.
And each moment that we bring,
May not come from places familiar.
...

Dreary drizzling nights.
Fall to mist on my parade.
There's nothing I can fight.
Or no one who comes,
...

A writer.
I am glad that I am that.
So glad I am that way!
...

My Lord and I decided...
That we were so divided
And He took me aside
And told me to boost my pride!
...

Giving up this funk I got from the grinch.
Tossed my coin in the wishing well...
Just to make that grinch in me wince.
Routine business...
...

Not intrigued by teasing.
Or one who welcomes being pushed to distress,
Awaiting someone's confessions of love!
...
