Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Returning to claim what's mine...
Others may find impossible!
Road blocks set,
To have this denied with regrets...
...

It can be pumped!
Lumped into position!
Flexed and seen.
Nourished in public scenes.
...

They can not grasp
The onslaught of thought!
Erratic.
Dramatic destruction
...

When one loses stock of relevance,
A significant influence ceases.
Similar to having false teeth
Replace the original!
...

When I found you...
I also found myself!
And when I lost you,
You left behind
...

Octaves above
And below
Middle 'C'
With a soprano singing sweetly,
...

It appears the victim died,
From a self inflicted hate.
With an overwhelming need,
To feel itself to be powerful and great!
...

They had no clue who they were!
And it was intentional.
They had no say in their destiny!
And it was intentional.
...

A mind that knows,
The definition of conformity
And comprehends who benefits,
With full pockets unwilling to share.
...

The clock...
With loud sounds
Of tick tocking
On shoulders burdened
...
