Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am not saying your point of view is not validate.
Or that your perspective has been repetitively defined.
It has!
And I have not been exposed to any growth in your mind.
...

You're a sexy peach.
Delicious on the eyes!
Igniting my taste buds...
To get close enough,
...

There are those so afraid to be revealed by the truth.
And so afraid they are to come out of hiding.
They have felt comforted by the lies they have spoken.
To keep their pains and resentments concealed.
...

Listen to them hiss and rattle!
Snakes in fear...
A way of life comes to a close.
And from under rocks...
...

Whether they were told what to believe...
Or made to conceive it or not!
They were never challenged on their own,
To know!
...

If I wished for the love I missed...
And your name is on it,
Like a repeated sonnet in my mind.
Will you come and stay,
...

It will not matter what time it is.
Or when the Sun rises...
To caress the horizon,
With beaurtiful Sunsets.
...

This time unlike those we have passed...
Like the blooming of fresh scented Spring flowers.
I will stop to express my gratitude to you.
...

Rice.
This time,
Spare us the gravy.
Eliminate the salt and pepper.
...

I'm not in a position to say what it is you really need.
Nor am I commissioned to address it with priority!
Yet I know,
You feel sometimes there is a wall you have to climb.
...
