Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I live to explore!
Not to sit in the midst of discoveries...
To be compared by others,
As the way my life should be!
...

When is it ever ready...
For us to make up our minds,
It is time to get what we put off
To get something done?
...

The one thing I find remarkable...
About your insistence,
To manipulate your way into the limelight.
With a persistence you solicit.
...

You say you did not know 'this' was in me?
As I recall,
Most of our encounters dealt with your point of view!
What was in me had not been of your concern.
...

If there is anyone seeking,
Anything in my life to taint?
I'll be the first to say...
A saint I ain't!
...

If you see me bleed,
Without coming to my comfort to aid.
Will you bare the wound,
Upon the nakedness of your consciousness...
...

Incubated sensations begin to breathe breath.
The taste of temptation,
Comes with the birth that one gets...
Upon the teasing fields,
...

You can not tell people
Who have been trapped and raise on crap.
That they are also ignorant, fat and lazy!
Since those that are...
...

'Are you wasting your life? '
How would anyone know?
If you have decided to find it worthless.
If you have defined it...
...

You say you want to see my face,
Before we meet each other for a date.
It will not be 'blind'...
Both of our eyes will be opened wide!
...
