Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I get a bit,
Romantic.
I get a bit,
Sensual.
...

'Let that ego go! '

Are you kidding?
You of all people,
...

I would rather receive true love to me given,
Than to be told by the giver delivering it...
What I am getting from them,
Is a love upon me...
...

Good morning.
I bet you thought you'd catch me snoring?
I had to get up early with the sunrise today.
To show another side of me...
...

Never keep it unreal to feel.
If it isn't.
Or try to appeal,
With a concealing an indifference.
...

Dancing out of rhyme and reason.
Lacking rhythm with a pace too aged,
For the times you are behind.
And yet you request your steps be followed.
...

People want more than they have,
Of what it is they're given.
And first to criticize the ones who serve.
...

With no excuses.
Or made attempts of pretense,
To hide in my heart to expose and show.
What I feel is revealed.
...

Facts no longer matter.
Truth has been battered,
To disbelieve it had quality.
And those who remember,
...

Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,
...
