Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You are,
So not ready for me.
I love adventure.
With it to live.
...

You have opened the window to my heart.
The air is fresh.
And the dew that sits...
Lifts with the dawning Sun.
...

I am here.
And you................are there!
Isn't the air between us fresh?
Isn't it best,
...

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Why struggle against ignorance...
When the force of it,
Can create powerful setbacks.
...

Sweet meat cleaver...
May your sharpened blade,
Be swung to come down swiftly...
To silent false lips attached to crooked necks.
...

I care about these people.
That's why I can say I like it.

I care about them...
...

IF is more 'is' today than ever.
There is no quiz about it now.
And doubts once allowed are gone.
Believe it.
...

They know what is going to happen.
And that is why it fascinates.
They know that danger lurks around.
And they are aware,
...

Today's youth are heard to say,
'People don't get me.'
With a doing little wanting pay.
'People don't get me.'
...

Incorrect perceptions,
Are imposed and projected...
By those with unchanged beliefs.
And fixed to satisfied stagnation.
...
