Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I want love,
Until all of it...
Sits here within.
I want to have that feeling...
...

No time these days,
Should any heart explore envy.
An encouragement that nourishes...
Brings closer to home,
...

They don't raise themselves up!
So what do they expect,
To get.
Accept,
...

I thank poemhunter.
And 'all' that they've done.
I'd like to thank those behind the 'scenes'
Each and every 'one'!
...

What has been done...
I took it personal.
Thinking of myself too much at times.
Wanting more to give...
...

Raised to place their values in 'things'.
And the superficialness of looks,
With the best of false pretensions.
...

There is a lot of emptiness these days.
People are trying to fill up these spaces,
As quickly as possible.
Unsatisfied with themselves and where they are.
...

No need to call him an imbecile.
He represents a reflection of their decency.
Those of 'supreme quality'!
And selecting him to lead.
...

They find themselves in acceptable bondage.
Feeling complete and shackled,
With a dignity and pride...
Only money and the absence,
...

Its gotta be love...
When she shows it,
He knows it.
...
