Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Digging deep,
For signs of credibility...
Being swept along streets,
To catch between the grated holes...
...

You weren't there when my pains were inflicted.
That is why you believe the pain I receive from you,
Should have some special meaning!
Something that is going to affect my stride.
...

Tears...
Dry them!
Do it now!
You've spent enough time,
...

Taunting truths,
And those who speak them...
Are the ones sanctioning liberties.
...

Some folks enjoy doing things.
While other folks 'are' what they enjoy doing!
Some folks enjoy cooking.
And then there are cooks.
...

After one's mind has been shocked,
And traumatized...
By illness or another life 'encounter'!
An awareness quite different,
...

Be not.
Do not.
What not you.
You do.
...

Bathing in the moment,
Of this joy descending.
Who knew?
I do.
...

Saddle up.
This ride we're taking,
Wont be easy.
Saddle up.
...

Taunting them who taunted then,
In ways that begin to haunt their peace.
Them who taunted then in fun...
Finds this taunting consumes until done!
...
