Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They are trying to find something,
Someone...
Somewhere on this Earth.
...

An obsession that has addicted...
With traditions held thick,
With desires and things to aspire and climb...
Higher to obtain those symbolic dreams.
...

If you want a life that's free,
Of 'sssshhh'...
Yeeewwwwgotta live it.
...

You've hurt me...
But I'm not crushed.
At least to you,
I will not admit it!
...

Each time you cry.
I feel you near me.
I feel you weeping...
Sad tears,
...

Sometimes the right one comes too late.
And we are left to appreciate,
The one who offers 'things' and not love.
...

So it is, as I am.
To see and live and breathe...
To be here with you near.
...

Please give it,
What ever it is.
Please give it,
What ever it is.
...

You don't want nobody comin' to you just to freak,
Ooooobabe!
Do ya?
...

STOP!
What are you doing over there?

'Breaking down the set!
