Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I thought I was dreaming.
You were there when things began to change.
The air was filled with creative opinionated glee,
Then suddenly...
...

As long as your stature remains credible,
I will defend you.
And nothing you do...
In my eyes,
...

The eating of 'crow' and humble pie,
Is not so easy...
For one young with stars in their eyes.
Especially if the cranking up of hype is believed.
...

Bad credit?
I wouldn't have applied for credit at all...
If I could afford what i wanted.
...

Don't take the peas up off my plate.
That irritates.
Don't even think about sneaking them.
They are there for me to eat.
...

Never satisfied they are,
With the dragging of themselves...
Down into the murkiest of dirt.
No.
...

Be you pursued!
This day.
Be you,
With patience kept.
...

Just with You and me...
I sit.
Grateful to have this peace.
And with You to share it with.
...

No more will my eyes cry,
For days gone by in shades of gray.
To wish that I...
Could relive a life,
...

Strayed into the web and stayed,
With no apparent struggle.
Clued to value the sticky tricks of it.
And giving birth to a message relayed,
...
