Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Pols taken,
Like anything else isolated...
To target a specific audience,
Are done with specific demographics in mind.
...

An adamant dislike for anything,
One keeps as a reminder...
With a convincing done to others,
They too should adopt such a philosophy.
...

You perceive everything you do,
As a prerequisite of acceptance by others.
Don't you?
No matter what it is,
...

You are falling to pieces,
And you expect me to patiently
Put you back together,
With an application of smothering love.
...

Which wish for you is 'more' essential?
The one you expect me to be?
That one not yet,
Able to fulfill my potential?
...

Within us all elements shake.
An adjustment that makes...
For an unsettling disburbance.
And those choosing not to see,
...

Returning from a visit,
Of unleashing inquisitive explorations.
Experiences alone adventured,
Does not fulfill.
...

A suddenness to quickly undo,
Apparently is cosmic and unavoidable.
A widening split between those who are conscious,
And those completely out of it.
...

The moment I say chocolate.
Immediately,
You are going to envision color.
And not taste.
...

You,
Are a dancer.
Dancing is what you do.
I write,
...
