Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I do the best I can to take heed to warnings.
And pay attention I try to do,
To observe those signs alerting me to obstacles...
On the road ahead as I journey through my life.
...

Ask me for what you want.
Just ask me,
Ask me.
And make it anything,
...

You watched it close under microscope.
Closer than anything you watched most
You watched it close under microscope.
Closer than anything you watched most
...

Let's remove the platitudes.
And rid the phony subtleties,
To dropp to be who we are...
To let that be seen,
...

The gate has been locked,
To block access...
To those once accustomed,
To free entry and free reign.
...

I've got plenty made doodles.
Some done and some new doodles too.
I've got plenty made doodles.
And doing those doodles is what I choose,
...

What is this that I do?
What is this?
And what is it?
What is this that I do?
...

Why did you abandon my love,
And then announce it missing?
Then you called all your friends to tell them,
Not even a glance from me you are getting.
...

Why haven't they boarded the lifeboats?

~They first wish to discuss,
Political correctness and social etiquette.
...

I wish those times we had caressed,
Would return and with respect.
As if there were special effects,
To help us forget we had values invested.
...
