Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Can I stop what you 'think'?
No.
Of course not.
I hope I am not showing any intention,
...

Don't start...
Saying that you're missing my kissing,
When we're distant.
Comeon, comeon.
...

With an undisturbed thirst,
To swallow anything...
Depicting adventure AND criminality,
Some will sit affixed to it.
...

Huffin' with a puffin' isn't something that one plans on.
Nor is it considered as a wish that came and has gone.

You can throw a fit!
...

There is nothing on this Earth,
Waiting with a patience...
To give you time to make up your mind,
To live excusing your insecurities...
...

Your entitlement based beliefs,
Are only as real as its creation.
And you must agree,
Your entire belief system has been created!
...

It's difficult to get people up off of their knees.
Especially if they believe,
It is part of some kind of delivery process.
...

Farewell.
It's not so easy to,
Say goodbye.
It's not so easy to,
...

No!
My name is 'not' Angel.

Everybody's trying to get in a free 'cruise'.
...

The only thing I can not do,
Is redo a done did.
And this,
I am not going to sit and wish.
...
