Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Hey...
Now that you have finally landed on the Earth.
Do not expect a dispersement,
Of overwhelming cheer.
...

You want to be nasty?
You want to be despicable?
You want to inflict upon me your revenge?
You can take that bitterness...
...

I hate you!
With so much love,
I can not stand it anymore.
When you walked out of that door for good...
...

When I give,
I unwrap the entire package.
If there is something uncovered,
You discover unliked...
...

There is no interest here for your magic.
Nor are there embers here to rekindle,
That would ignite a slow dying flame!
I'm jaded.
...

There are many with undying wishes,
To play God.
To do it better than God has done.
As if all life orbits around them.
...

Contrary to your beliefs...
I do know my place.
And that is why you might see me anywhere,
Feeling quite comfortable.
...

Sad are those who sit and criticize.
With nothing to value but a love to despise.

Everything done is for them to undo.
...

I knew you knew me.
The moment I saw you,
I knew you knew.
...
