Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you AINT seen the light...
Don'tcha bother me,
Tonight.
...

I'm manifesting something brittle.
Something needing special company.
I fiddle-faddled in the middle.
And weakened both batteries.
...

How will we handle,
The complete absence of fading values.
And the dismissing of those messages,
Through the years.
...

I think about you daily, baby.
And appreciate those days,
I can't escape the way I'm feeling...
More of you.
...

I don't know what it is,
I am anymore.
And I'm growing less concerned about it.
...

Angry?
Why?
Your delusions denied the truth.
With a booting done,
...

Pensive I sit and sniff scents,
Of lavender and lilac...
Coming to invade my space,
From the other side of a fence...
...

It just seems to make life lived easier,
To seek and wish for that which is correct.

To lie, deceive and deny...
...

Teasing done between kids,
Is easy to accept.
It is infectious and expected,
When hormones are set.
...

The last time someone said to me,
I couldn't do what I enjoyed in my own hometown.
That I would have to leave to find peace of mind.
With a creative outlook I had that sought activity.
...
