Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some regard being dependent upon another,
As an expression of love.

When I had been married,
...

'Oh Mister DreamWeaver...
I thought you said,
We'd soon be coming out of the woods?
But why is it getting darker.
...

In a grip.
Held!
And,
Not in it to be snuggled.
...

We pledge an allegiance to a flag.
And to a 'republic' for which it stands.
With liberty and justice for all!
...

I did not solicit your attention.
Your threats of me not getting more of it,
Suits me fine.
...

I am sorry Mister Thief.
But it is difficult for me to believe,
You are here to protect your integrity.
Not with a water gun you are trying to pass,
...

Showing you my intelligence,
And the depth of my vast understanding...
Of life and your agonies,
Will not mean a thing if professed.
...

No trouble gets trouble,
And there's no reason to go 'oops'.
Or feel bruised when booted.
...

Each day passes,
Procrastinated.
As hesitated wishes,
Greet anticipated sunsets.
...

My lips are not off limits,
To your kisses.
Or to hear words you rather dismiss.
Perhaps.
...
