Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Let the Sun light in,
And let it dance upon your face.
Let every muscle tensed be removed from your brow.
Be living where you are...
...

Moist and sweet,
Like a Macintosh can be in Spring!

An apple bitten dripping juice...
...

Late at night...
As owls watch from perches high,
Rings worn are slipped off.
Mixed drinks in bars are sent,
...

Escalations,
Appear in their sights.
Warmongers hunger to incite fights.
Determined to burn with precise agitation!
...

I know...
You want me to feel
That superiority you believe you have,
Over me!
...

There is not a rock they can hide behind.
Not a boulder molded near the summit
Of mountain peaks...
Can plug the stench caused by these hoodlums.
...

It can be reluctantly admitted,
Those oppressed can not be blamed...
For current actions that shame,
Those with conquests that are being suppressed.
...

I think the entire relationship
Had been totally misunderstood.
I didn't select one to be better than the rest.
I chose one to be the only and the best!
...

Expansive limitations of ego...
Confines common sense!
And splintered glass,
Finds an unprotected foot...
...

Some will say they have chosen
To step in dung!
And will travel near and far...
To gather others of like minds
...
