Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
...

Delegate?
An assistance with my fate?
When one has discovered,
The 'who' within themselves?
...

Your wishes are mine to fulfill?
And your happiness is based on my reactions?
And your dreams are in my eyes?
Well...
...

Perceptions you have are yours.
That is not in question.
All I'm saying is that fortuitous opportunities...
Seem not to be dancing, of late, on their agendas.
...

People take from others...
And tell them what is theirs,
And what is not!
...

Monster of valued wisdom he...
Selected to inject,
Messages some leave unheeding.
But those who see beyond cloaks,
...

Watched.
Followed.
Dissected and tapped!
And still there are no conclusions reach.
...

Close your eyes.
Remove disturbances from your care.
Care less where you put them.
Just know they aren't there.
...

Digging deep,
For signs of credibility...
Being swept along streets,
To catch between the grated holes...
...

You weren't there when my pains were inflicted.
That is why you believe the pain I receive from you,
Should have some special meaning!
Something that is going to affect my stride.
...
