Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A sweet peach eaten down to the pit.
May keep that pit sitting,
In one's mouth a bit.
...

Soon...
Closed eyes awaken,
As dawn breaks.
A replacement shakes up misunderstandings.
...

Don't 'ask' that your sorrows be removed from you.
Demand that they be removed!

Don't look at your obstacles as if they are impossible.
...

Although the museum had nothing on exhibit...
The people not believing this,
Would still come in droves to visit.
...

If you wait too long,
Something will go wrong in your lifetime.
Hesitate,
Believing this eliminates it...
...

Goodbye to our lives lived in disguise.
And goodbye to all deceit.
We might have known those masquerades,
But above that now we reach!
...

'I thought you did not like me.'

Oh?
Did I tell you that?
...

From the time the lights come on,
And from dusk 'til dawn...
You're giving me the lip!
...

A showstopping mocker,
Here to dropp impressions?
No.
I'm not into recreations.
...

It is there.
Staring.
Rejected and glaring.
Still...
...
