Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When I first,
Saw you...
I thought my heart would stop,
Beating!
...

When Autumn comes again...
No one seems to want Summer,
Close to come to an end.
And when Autumn and leaves fall...
...

Fearing fear to fear it done,
Has become a welcomed expectation.
And with it produced to be identified,
Has everyone anticipating it.
...

Where are all the pretty babies,
Young folks had in their teens.
Young folks 'young' themselves it seems.
Where are the pretty babies,
...

Mismatchd mates fight.
In arguments..
Over who did what wrong.
Inspite of who is right.
...

Innocence has blown up in a puff!
Those,
Sexual innuendos...
...

Ride with guilt?
Sit harnessed to remorse?
Take a backseat to happiness,
And choose a more abusing course?
...

One monkey,
Does not stop a show.
UNLESS...
This 'one' monkey,
...

The only difference having common sense,
Seems to make these days...
From those who have been distanced,
With minds fearing their thoughts would offend...
...

Sometimes that 'top',
Some boastfully announce...
They can reach with a seeking,
To look down upon others...
...
