Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

So many awesome memories,
Kept in my mental chest.
Some are close and heartfelt
With a secret wish to renew
...

Giant in your eyes...
To you that's how I want to appear.
Make Me the first you come to,
And I will chase away your fears!
...

Can juice be squeezed,
From a rock...
Drying from morning dewdrops,
Spotted?
...

I awakened with a taste for greatness.
My eyes before,
Were set upon limitations...
Wasted.
...

Thirty years...
Spent,
In one spot.
Got a watch...
...

Do the days seem to be deplete of needing?
After rain...
Do rainbows colored shy away and hide?
...

In these times we live...
Men are having sex with men.
Women are having sex with women.
They are bi-coastal...
...

Honestly...
How does anyone know
If they are,
Or if they are not?
...

When you think about what is right!
Does it keep you up through the night?
Are you feeling your light go dim...
And you're afraid of the darkness,
...

It's sad when truth fails to be recognized.
To speak it is detrimental.
Those holding onto it are treated as traitors.
A structured belief system is crumbling.
...
