Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

From the bottom to the top I give it!
Beginning from a structure started solid.
Making sure each step...
Has been given a concrete-ness.
...

Let them trip over revisited dismisses.
Since falling down presents fresh excuses.
To maim the mental state of minds...
Hoping a delivery of a clarity to find.
...

Sitting on a tree stump,
Trying to hide the lump of pain...
Felt inside.
I discovered her on the hillside crying.
...

Wishing a thing to exist.
And exclaiming to others that it does...
Does not bring it life.
It may bring it to lips quick.
...

It all has been there!
From the very beginning of its plotting.
Ingredients used?
A perception of kindness.
...

Why didn't I tell you before?
I did.
But I was not dressed the part.
I was not the vision you expected.
...

I would love to entertain your priorities.
However...
My schedule has been changed.
And on my agenda,
...

I remember my encounter...
With reality!
That's when I was stripped,
From those things I valued.
...

Named were they,
To become kings of power!

'Rumors about me being,
Obnoxious, rude and tempermental...
Have been over exaggerated.
