Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If I stopped to qualify the love I felt for you...
You would not feel it as I'd wish you do!
Busy would I be describing emotions meant.
You'd see me in frustrations sent...
...

Your nipples once sat lifted
As gifts you shared with me.
You let me lick dripping moisture then...
When they glistened in sunlight with glee,
...

You took it!
I don't want it any more.
You can't bring it back...
To attach as if not disconnected.
...

What promises come with stress?
What kind of happiness associates itself with pain?
Why aren't misgivings honestly addressed?
What is there to gain when one has these aims?
...

You chose to float your own boat.
I merely suggested you check for leaks.
I get no satisfaction watching you sink...
Protecting what you think is your right!
...

Preferences enjoyed...
Does not make one less or better than the rest.
Something received, shared and expressed,
Are desires that best suit
...

The air seems to be relieved of less stench!
Have the 'rats' been supplied with stronger deodorant?

'No!
...

What will they do,
With beliefs no longer relevant?
What thoughts will they think...
When they had few from the start.
...

Today...
It is not appropriate to be honest.
Or imply it in retrospect.
We live in times
...

You want sweetness,
You say I have an ability to ooze?
You want sweetness available,
Anytime you choose?
...
