Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I wish I could start from where we began,
To have you comprehend...
What makes me 'tick' within.
To have you instantly feel what is felt,
...

If you can identify something you do
As natural as the air you breathe...
It 'is' you.
It needs not to be explain.
...

'Mrs. Poppington...
If they are derelict in performing their duties
As elected officials
And they represent their contituents,
...

'Ladies and gentlemen...
This is your captain.
You may unbuckle,
And remove your seatbelts!
...

It is there for what it is.
To be appreciated for what it does.
Dissect it...
And it loses its significance.
...

Those moments you leave,
Are these moments remembered.
I'd like to freeze those memories.
And save them whenever...
...

Can one protect from their own paranoia?
And who determines this is cost effective?
Especially when there is suspicion,
Of mental detention.
...

She offered her custard for me to sniff.
I'm into pound cake so I resisted.
She then wanted me to lick her cheeks.
Well...
...

Theft and deception,
Have been their worst enemies.
And the power of truth,
Reduces them to miseries.
...
