Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When I had a crush on you,
You acted as if I did not exist.
You persisted to avoid my advances.
Some of them were innocently delivered.
...

I don't necessarily ask that you agree.
Or assess me personally.
Whether we have ever met...
Or if that becomes a possibility.
...

They were burned.
Long before the Salem ones.
In Hartford, Connecticut,
This was done.
...

When in prayer,
Most take this time...
To send with it hoped,
Undivided attention...
...

¡Quiero que demasiado ame!

Demasiado quiero,
La paz y la felicidad compartieron.
...

Ooooohhh...
64 Oh 64,
Your knock is loud...
On my front door.
...

It has been hindered by you.
Splintered.
And the spirits are here to mend.
Everything about it will be tossed on its end.
...

The kind that say what they mean.
Do what they say.
Accountable for their actions.
Reliable and believed.
...

I don't make this statement
To have you agree with me...
I make this comment,
Because this is what I see.
...

'Father?
Yes...LAWRENCE!
'Did I catch You at a bad time? '
No, My Son...What is it? ...Now?
