Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Please.
No need to apologize.
We all have a reason to misinterpret.
...

Taunted by fears of loss.
Inflicted to fidget and sit.
That may cost them dearly.
And set to protect,
...

There was a time cream rose to the top,
With expectations.
Today the appearance of BS is there.
Lots of it!
...

Organizations based in inner city communities,
That are overwhelmingly those of color.
And those same organizations solicit funds,
Stating they provide activities and training...
...

I do not have to close my eyes,
To employ the imagination of 'visions'.
I am bombarded by a vast array of those,
On a daily basis.
...

I do have this 'thing'
For my own homemade pancakes.
And with baked salmon!
What a treat to eat.
...

Bring that darkness felt to a peak!
Don't let it stay and destroy your sleep.
As demons creep and trouble!
...

When you read me...
Look into my eyes.
There you will find my heart.
And my soul...
...

No longer bonded to me you show.
Slip knot from your finger,
Is that band of gold.
...

Tickle me in places done.
That battle to win my heart,
You have won.
...
