Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Is cleverness essential to project,
To show and bestow...
With a determined self righteousness?
...

It's a captivating madness,
Experienced by one and all!
Captivating with excitement,
Cotton candied and popcorn balled!
...

I want my words to reach and heal you,
Like yours do that for me.
I want to say more than what has been said...
About why we are here and our destinies.
...

If together we had one thought,
Of abundance and good health.
You and I could lift ourselves above...
The agonies expressed by those in protest.
...

They put them there...
And now all are wanted out.
They weren't the best selected to lead,
But they secretly deceived with much clout!
...

You wont know this,
Until it occurs.
Your appetite for isolation...
Has left you disconnected,
...

I want so much to know you.
So much of you I crave to taste.
Your eyes and mouth within my touch..
The fragrance of your closeness,
...

Bring me that love,
My Dear Father.
Bring that love to me.
Bring me that love,
...

Mixing to match statistics to blend...
Diverse but divided communities,
Provide sightseeing tourists
An atmosphere remembered,
...

Maneuvering my way through the BS,
Without letting too much of mine rub off!
Gotta keep this intact until I find a way,
To pack it up and leave it alone.
...
