Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

One can not live a life,
Refusing to accept its transitions.
Many state they will remain unchanged.
And unlike some they come to criticize,
...

If I was to choose to love a man.
And a woman does the same with another...
There is not a law,
Whether it was passed or not...
...

There was a time,
And this was not too long ago...
When those of skills and talents,
Only had a wish to share them.
...

During lives we come to live,
There are many we don't see.
Even though we share,
The passing of cast shadows.
...

How many have you stole,
From an idol you say that you like.
How many have you stole,
Chosen ideas to re-write!
...

I am...
Channeling a need.

Channeling a need,
...

I want to make one thing perfectly clear!

'Okay.
And...
...

Don't you be afraid,
To boost it up a notch.
No...
Don't you be afraid.
...

Please,
Don't let my confidence offend.
I did not always place my steps,
With such self assurance.
...

The only one,
I will allow to tamper with my happiness...
Is you when that happens.
And at times I do this most reluctantly.
...
