Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

As the leaves on trees
Began to remind
Summertime is departing,
I thought of you
...

I bet when you came,
You did not expect this.
I can see it in your eyes.
You lick your lips...
...

Dreams I feed I keep unbroken.
Timeless are my wishes.
Age has removed them from possibility.
I thought in my youth with limitation,
...

With assisted lies and a following,
They have declined all lifestyles...
And increased foreclosures.
No one who has spoken the truth has done this!
...

Will you come to love me,
Before the winds of transformation
Seal my lips from whispering your name
In sleep where dreams bring you near!
...

Attract good health,
To me and my home.
Attract wealth of understanding,
And an abundance condoned...
...

This storm has lingered too long.
And collecting from its debris,
Finds many at ease with this!
...

Oh...
I am the best.
And I have no problem
Showing you my credentials!
...

To hate
Is such a wasted
Smothering emotion.
An embittered heart...
...

She wants a love...
She can take into her arms.
Hold her with her charms.
And sing love songs,
...
