Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I can not say I am multi-lingual.
However,
I can say I am more culturally aware,
Of the diversity that shares the offerings...
...

Shared between them...
They have BA's MA's Doctorate degrees,
Law degrees with corporate affiliations.
...

At one time I cared less,
About your thoughts.
And how they were expressed.
I was too busy collecting 'things'
...

Structured to withstand the blows of heartache.
Although we tremble within with emotion...
There is a healing taking place.
It may not show on our faces!
...

There is one thing that is noticeable,
About those that are set in their ways.
No matter what anyone says,
They are not going to be corrected.
...

If one wishes to build a home,
But does not command the expertise...
An architect is consulted.
If expenses are there.
...

...and speaking of experiences?
How many can say they achieved experience,
By listening to the sound of another's voice?
Or reading directions on how that is done?
...

If it had not been for you...
I would not know joy like this.
Or know such happiness I have,
Could like this exist.
...

When you are posing in Sunlight you hold...
I feel ecstatic.
I feel the magic!
...

Cultural prophets observing nonstop,
That which appears...
Disconnected from a thought process.
Are not too willing to converse,
...
