Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

To package anything,
To attract and sell...
Entertain and seduce.
Takes skill.
...

In the silence there are answers.
When the mind is hushed.
And free of busy thoughts to think.
...

I am not perfect.
I have flaws.
And they are there in public view.
...

Okay!
I will admit what I observe daily,
Does not exist with a worthiness to mention.
It will be difficult.
...

The boldest moves to take,
Are those one makes...
To shake away from the past.
And divorcing from it quick!
...

It can become such a foolish waste...
To chase someone who gets things done.
With a hope for a clue,
That will reveal a preview.
...

When I turned my back...
That's when I got attention.
They believe the held
Something that attracted.
...

I feel blessed.
Yes.
And less stressed with mess.
I feel deep within me a happiness,
...

While you took all this time,
To undermind me...
To have me found as subservient?
The system you valued has crumbled!
...

I do not have to 'know'
It is not true,
To KNOW
It's not true!
...
