Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I don't have a spicy tongue,
Normally exposed.
Until somebody stands too close,
To step on my toes.
...

Could I be incompetent?
No.
But I will admit,
I can be stupid, ignorant and foolish...
...

Who could better interpret,
From my point of view...
Those experiences I've had,
My whole life through...
...

Who hasn't lived moments,
They knew contradict?
And who could believe,
Anyone actually known as introverted...
...

It's those...
Emotions we must conquer.
Emotions we must conquer.
Emotions we must conquer.
...

I don't get lonely,
But sometimes I wish for company.
I don't get lonely,
But sometimes there is a need in me...
...

Even in the midst of shifts,
One providing a true substance known...
Becomes accustomed to this,
After a craving fulfilled has satisfied...
...

I have secret meetings,
In my mind.
And...
I find they're the best,
...

Oh Boy,
Why did you do her wrong?
When you knew she had your back,
All day long.
...

When it's Summertime,
The people love the heat.
And the weather's fine,
To please those on the beach.
...
