Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You dropped me.
Too many times stopped me,
You did.
No matter what I tried,
...

Hidden wishes are not the best ones,
To keep secret.
Not when two are sharing space,
In a relationship as mates.
...

Of course I know 'how' I arrived.
And the length of time it took,
For anyone to notice my presence.
Although it was not my presence,
...

My mother and I were close.
And had a unique relationship.
People thought I was a mama's boy.
And I didn't mind.
...

Yes...
I said what I said and I meant it.
Just as it sounded as if intended.
...

I am not one to pass judgement, normally!
And those who do pass it with wild abandonment,
With a disregarding done of specific rules...
Disengaged from using practical 'sensitivities'.
...

Even though they had been accused,
Of a meddling done in others' lives.
They have now been criticized,
For not expressing or showing a concern...
...

Many have been protected,
With a fantasizing to encourage...
Each step placed they make will be okay.
To believe their journey on any path ahead,
...

They are doing the best they can,
To ensure he is not re-elected.
And with their blinded efforts,
They want to prove to all...
...

Why are you biting your lips?

'I am practicing.'
