Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You want to be treated fairly.
You want to be treated right.
You want to be treated with respect.
And your dignity protected day and night.
...

I seek with a want,
For a one or a five in my life.
To share my interests,
And my adventure that excites...
...

Too familiar with truth,
To become separated from that bond.
Could I do marriage again,
With a role play to do without end?
...

We were like marauders rushing to a raid.
To pillage, plunder and take,
From each other in those days.
In a conquest to just feed lust,
...

There are times when they come,
We all find ourselves...
Repeating those needs.
As if afirmations,
...

Fixed in place to market escapes,
And entertain with distractions.
Pastimes divert to deviate numbed minds.
...

However it happened,
My mind is quick to provide...
Instant distance.
The moment nonsense is sniffed,
...

Intentions done,
Can not be erased to undo.
And even in the presence of warnings given,
Nothing painted in the picture...
...

Disparities are known,
And only shown to be of interest...
To reveal the effectiveness,
Of divisions and widening gaps.
...

Why do you do what you do with a stuck clutch?
Or are you proving you can drive and do it without limits.
Why you do what you do with a stuck clutch?
Or is this your way of showing me,
...
