Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Flat, round...
Narrow or wide!
That's the only way
Everyone is getting it,
...

If you want a keeper
Without bleeping everything
That's said.
Direct,
...

Let it go.
Don't hold onto it,
Any longer than necessary.
Whatever it is deemed important,
...

Dripping my carried full cup sipped.
I want to dance with happiness...
Instead I sit.
I wish to say I am in bliss,
...

Reduced to fulfill
A need to expand
Obsessions.
Needs of greeds have succeeded
...

How deep is a forgiveness given,
When forgetting is remembered.
With dialogue set to reload?
...

Never ending searches,
With fraught only few can cease.
Are taken across borders
In the hopes of something fresh
...

Protecting one's domain,
Is a natural human instinct.
To have some say...
Which way this should be done.
...

So,
What are you going to do?
Keep running away...
In pursuit,
...

The doubling of standards lived,
Has cracked foundations...
Of tired traditions,
Rocked by what 'truth' is!
...
