Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Let me dream the impossible.
So much of you stays in my head.
I'm making memories,
To pick when I reminsce.
...

You can stay cooped,
With a pity to cop.
And you can stayed pooped,
As you're locked in your box!
...

When time comes to replace the old,
With new adventures to address...
Those who are much younger,
Aren't familiar with those 'old' days...
...

How easy has it been made,
For anyone to lift...
An accusatory finger to point to someone else,
As a reason for their problems?
...

Return those evils to where they come from,
Father.
Or...
Let them become aware,
...

You have exhausted your wits.
That is what you say about it.
To promote, market and sell...
The artistry of others.
...

What would you do?
If all your issues had been fixed.
Tell me,
What would you do?
...

No man can love another man,
Like a woman when its been tried.
And...
No woman who knows love,
...

Universal.
Simplistic.
And accessible,
When kept basic.
...

When the muffin has been eaten,
It is gone.
To savor the flavor and taste of it,
Doesn't last very long,
...
