Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Watching me watching you?
Can not be claimed,
To be original.
Or have it heard to say,
...

Fleeting.
Is the fast pace,
Of a physical attraction.
And a reaction,
...

There is no business,
Like one's own business.
To know that business,
Alone to condone.
...

Now you see it.
Or keep pretending you don't.

Whatever had once,
...

I find you attractive.
Wise and honest.
Rare you are.
Original and genuine too!
...

Admittedly.
We all become reflections.
Of our thoughts.
And...
...

What is felt,
And known to be loved.
Will remain as is.
To do and express.
...

Burdened by greed.
And debts...
Increasingly deepening.
By college degree seekers.
...

Time is not ours.
To collect it and save.
For those unexpected,
Rainy days.
...

Increasingly blatant.
Witnessed and seen.
Are entitlements,
And freedoms given.
...
