Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Craving!
An essence within my heart,
Unknown.
Craving!
...

Where IS your lover?
That significant 'other'?
You can not be here,
Without an attachment near?
...

Autistically freed...
From a conformity enforced.
And inflicted!
A society drenched with beliefs...
...

I remember before its slaughter,
Water was clean and fresh giving to life.
Now it has grown slick...
And suspect to order,
...

With an action given,
Expect to take one back!
There is nothing done without activation.
If you've been insulted...
...

When she would macramé,
I stayed and watched.
Taking her needles,
And attaching small knots!
...

If my comments find a spot in your heart...
And my life is one of living.
And perhaps yours is not?
Don't take it personal,
...

People wishing to be understood...
As if life itself was created just for them,
To receive that kind of attention from others...
Are deeply self involved.
...

Don't...
Make me go.
Don't make me,
Disbelieve.
...

No men popped for them.
Not those raised to lay in playpens.
Hot topics of 'where' the men could be?
Seems to be an ongoing mystery...
...
