Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Grim and stuck on their knees.
Too many people with weak souls.
They are the ones claiming to know...
How others should go about their days,
...

I want you to believe,
From me you will get love.
I will even repeat it,
If needed to hear.
...

Scrutinize it.
Don't accept anything to force a fit.
Just scrutinize it.
Scrutinize.
...

I would not had wished you break your neck.
Had I knew ya!
I would have given you much more respect.
Had I knew ya.
...

Feed my ego,
Let it lift...
Like it's mixed with yeast.
Like delicious bisquits whipped.
...

Explicit are the thoughts I get,
When alone and thinking...
What it was I let slip,
From my impatient...
...

You've got to,
Nip some boys from the collar.
Be strong and do not 'hollah'.
If you want your boys to stop,
...

Of course I am going to remember being insulted.
And being the butt end of loudly spoken jokes.
These episodes remain to stay played,
In the mind of the one they are directed towards.
...

You and I,
Should decide to live our lives,
Together.
...

Everyday we awaken,
To a freshness awaiting us...
That has been already made.
...
