Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Give up all your sentiments,
About lamenting Winter.
Give them right up.
You ought to,
...

You've got me,
Locked.
You've got me hinged.
You've got my heart to open up.
...

Unlike,
An image to fit.

Do you want to get to know,
...

It is unmistakably,
A feeling arriving from within.
When desires and wishes begin to connect,
And strongly identified...
...

Who knew,
Only time taken...
Makes a definition of it,
Less easier to fake who does what and when.
...

A leech feeding,
Could care less off of what it feeds.
It is a leech.
Feeding to satisfy its own need.
...

It takes know-how with specifics,
To create a delicious cake.
And only those experienced,
Know what it takes.
...

Getting praise does not make one pretty.
No matter how great one's talents.
Or longevity in the spotlight.
However...
...

If there is anything one will recognize,
Once they have made up their mind...
With a sacrificing devoted and done to succeed.
There will be those not understanding this drive...
...

I can be lofty and mentally detached.
But with you?
I find no need for that.
I only want to be for you accessible.
...
