Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

From the environment,
Does one get those first impressions.
And some of them like a gluing stick.
As a termite chews hidden,
...

You came my way,
And I loved it.
You wish with me to stay,
And I love it.
...

When you give me your love...
Give me 'that' love,
You love.
Give me that love you say,
...

Now that many are awakening,
To see how reality connects and works.
They are wishing to contact those dismissed,
For not being this or that.
...

Your suggestion...
That I do 'something' to encourage jealousy,
To get 'some' emotion felt from my spouse towards me.
Did not go as plan.
...

A conceding to acknowledge misdeeds,
Done to others...
With a expectation to have those deceived,
To believe intentional misdeeds done...
...

You want to make me believe...
That everything you've ever done,
Was for me.
But...
...

Spending billions to win,
A position to lead over opposition...
To mention an austerity,
Has come to affect a quality of life...
...

Facing North.
One unafraid to step forward,
Absorbs and soaks in...
This experience given.
...

It may take time alone,
To digest and then determine...
What purpose was meant,
By someone who expresses...
...
