Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When a quantity lacks quality.
And a marketing of garbage is anticipated.
Since garbage and trash thrive with medocrity.
How can anyone identify a high standard?
...

A madness affects their sensibilities.
And within them the light of a good spirit dies.
Attempts have been made and tried to reach them.
But time, unfortunately, is not on their side.
...

All my life I have sought affection.
And not getting that,
As it was craved.
Leaving me disillusioned to experiment.
...

I slow my car to a stop.
Get out and my jaw just drops.

In the denim she glides.
...

Creators of heartbreak.
Souless creatures,
Of wasted animation.
And living to strike with venom.
...

Thank you 'Spirit Guides'
For clearing my path of unwanted obstacles.
And providing my life,
With the correct insight...
...

Stains bleached bleeds!
Colors vibrant gone from fabric.
Jealousies worn too tight,
And uncomforting.
...

That well fed the crops they harvested.
The animals grazed...
To healthy weights,
When sent off to market.
...

Be still
Temptations teasing
Seeking to release seed
From thighs heated
...

Since he rode on a bus,
They believed him to be without powerful allies.
Since he rode on a bus,
They believed him to be limited in influence.
...
