Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Now that it has been approved...
You have been declared the keeper,
With power to independently think.
You have shown you can.
...

'AND...ACTION! '

Sticking to repeated hopes?
To bring a diminishing gloss,
...

I want.
I do.
I get.
That's it!
...

Delegate?
An assistance with my fate?
When one has discovered,
The 'who' within themselves?
...

Your wishes are mine to fulfill?
And your happiness is based on my reactions?
And your dreams are in my eyes?
Well...
...

Perceptions you have are yours.
That is not in question.
All I'm saying is that fortuitous opportunities...
Seem not to be dancing, of late, on their agendas.
...

People take from others...
And tell them what is theirs,
And what is not!
...

Monster of valued wisdom he...
Selected to inject,
Messages some leave unheeding.
But those who see beyond cloaks,
...

Watched.
Followed.
Dissected and tapped!
And still there are no conclusions reach.
...

Close your eyes.
Remove disturbances from your care.
Care less where you put them.
Just know they aren't there.
...
