Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I wish you the best.
Nothing more or less,
Than a feeling of satisfaction
Can deliver.
...

Imprisoned.
By something.
If I was committed to another,
You would express more interest.
...

A piece of the rock?
Today?
It is advisable,
That one wishes a complete boulder!
...

Why scheme a reason to 'freak'?
With obvious eye chats going on...
Sending signals to meet.
Uttered conversations,
...

They don't speak to them
Because of what was said
To a family member,
Associated to a relative of a friend.
...

Show me someone living high on the 'hog'...
And I'll show you someone finding it very difficult,
Trying to hide their sufferings of mental malnutrition.
And other wasteful diets they are attempting to maintain!
...

Okay...
I will admit it.
I have been using you.
You have been my therapist.
...

I have yet to open my treasure chest.
What you have experienced,
Is my blowing the dust off of it.
And that activity,
...

I will be there 'with' you,
To prioritize what to do to get done.
I am that one!
But I will not be there 'for' you,
...

You have an opinion?
Okay.
I will listen.
...
