Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You lured me with one hope and wish,
That from you I would get...
Love to express and devotion I'd expect.
With it done unconditionally.
...

Another day.
Another celebrated conflict is made.
Another confusion to exist but disbelieved.
Another tension to resist.
...

I want to feel relevant.
With a significance that is competent,
Energized and prepared.
When I strut it is done with a pride I stride,
...

Mismatchd mates fight.
In arguments..
Over who did what wrong.
Inspite of who is right.
...

It is best to leave those cranky alone.
It pays to leave those cranky people alone.

Leave those cranky people,
...

Are you that person,
To take what you hear...
To be fact and not fiction?
...

Greed has chased their jobs,
And employers overseas.
Outsourcing was the word I heard...
When a few years ago,
...

When Autumn comes again...
No one seems to want Summer,
Close to come to an end.
And when Autumn and leaves fall...
...

We were all given the same rules.
And the consequences for disobeying them,
Were tested.
By more than just a few.
...

Stay right by my side.
And I hope you never show...
Or tell me I must go,
To then just walk away.
...
