Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I know what it is like
To be attracted to someone
With cold shoulders.
...

Express what it is in terms that pleases.
Do your best to unleash the truth.
Very little of that,
Has manifested intact!
...

There is going to be a clean sweep.
A complete overhaul...
Of present thinking,
By those who rode...
...

Shallow are my nights.
A smothering of wrongs...
Has come to contaminate,
My will to do things right!
...

Peace,
Maurice.
Lifted by the Sunrise,
Coming from the East.
...

A squirrel threw a 'nut' at me.
It didn't want it.
Neither did I.
It was too overdressed.
...

In the days gone,
When I took for granted...
My life.
And the ease of complicity,
...

You want to gain...
What?
Fame, fortune and wealth?
To feel you are above everyone else?
...

'We have come together today,
To express the results of our findings.
And to announce,
We have discovered without doubt...
...

From the shallow shopping days,
Of Christmas spent.
And gifts selected...
To induce an increased seduction.
...
