Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Suddenly I'm no longer attached,
And there is something inside of me
That welcomes that.
...

Those things I do not understand,
Are not left in my mind misunderstood.
It is not my time to understand.
And when that happens...
...

'...raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens.'

If I hear another version of My Favorite Things,
...

Say that again!

'I'm straight.'
...

No other way can I say love is felt.
Desired and wished beyond kissing lips.
Or the sucking done you do to my tongue,
And the experience of it so missed.
...

Some folks enjoy being annoying.
It is a pattern.
A rhythm.
A method of selective obnoxiousness.
...

If you read my words,
You wouldn't have to ask
What it is I meant.
...

'Daddy...
When I called for you last night,
To bring me a glass of water.
And you were moaning.
...

When you are ready,
Don't stay away.
Whatever you say,
To me then will be okay.
...

In my eyes,
You cast light.
Not shadow.
...
