Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I know there will be many,
Expressing their thanks and gratitude...
On this, a holiday
To those they once knew,
...

Let's make this clear,
Between us.
What you wish to do,
At the expense of my time...
...

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

When you give it to give,
To do it to give...
Just give it.
And then be gone.
...

Corrupted intentions seldom succeed.
Even those who believe,
They have a clear strategy...
Risk losing their delusions to see them fail.
...

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

I want to feel relevant.
With a significance that is competent,
Energized and prepared.
When I strut it is done with a pride I stride,
...

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

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

You lured me with one hope and wish,
That from you I would get...
Love to express and devotion I'd expect.
With it done unconditionally.
...
