Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When I had a crush on you,
You acted as if I did not exist.
You persisted to avoid my advances.
Some of them were innocently delivered.
...

I don't necessarily ask that you agree.
Or assess me personally.
Whether we have ever met...
Or if that becomes a possibility.
...

They were burned.
Long before the Salem ones.
In Hartford, Connecticut,
This was done.
...

I believe there has been a misunderstanding.
No one yet has been talking about taking your wealth...
And giving that to someone else.
Those are fear tactics over used!
...

When in prayer,
Most take this time...
To send with it hoped,
Undivided attention...
...

¡Quiero que demasiado ame!

Demasiado quiero,
La paz y la felicidad compartieron.
...

Ooooohhh...
64 Oh 64,
Your knock is loud...
On my front door.
...

Each day to be witnessed,
There are those who make attempts...
With their efforts to do the right thing.
And with a doing not to expect,
...

'Father?
Yes...LAWRENCE!
'Did I catch You at a bad time? '
No, My Son...What is it? ...Now?
...

I don't make this statement
To have you agree with me...
I make this comment,
Because this is what I see.
...
