Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No matter what may be done or said,
When that action in time takes place...
Someone will feel left out instead.
Not because of the action,
...

A fool will always come forward,
To make their presence felt.
It is a need based in insecurities,
Some feed to be fed,
...

I can understand why you have chosen a mask,
From which undercover you feel an ease...
To address insults a disguise allows to please.
...

'You stink!
Don't you know you're out of tune,
And out of rhythm.
You stink!
...

Again...
I must thank You,
For the joy that I get.
Satisfaction You show me,
...

Feeling rather...
Moodless.

Not an emptiness,
...

Should I spare you the agony,
Of believing there is a need for your response?
There isn't.
As long as we keep between us,
...

Nobody sees us,
So in love...
But,
On the streets the people say,
...

If a fly can be what it is...
And has been what it is for years.
It does not have to convince.
...

Tease the cooker!
But not too much.
Remember the cooker decides,
Whose taste buds will be satisfied!
...
