Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I may happen to make things look that way...
But nothing I've known in my life,
Has been made for me easy.
...

I'm at a loss.
Because my feelings for you,
Have been tossed.
But at who's cost?
...

Until some rules to us have come,
And understood by 'everyone'...
Under the Sun,
Will there then be a need to exchange...
...

What do we do 'now'?

'We' who? '
...

I've made it clear I do not fear,
Obstacles appearing to be near.
Although I use to manifest a resistance,
With a distance kept persisted.
...

Creating disasters,
To generate happy endings.
To temporarily salivate.
May be okay,
...

How blind can a hindsight be?

Do you remember yesterday?
When corruption and thieves,
...

With blues sung,
And the drinking of booze done...
Strung out I am now,
On life.
...

When piranhas heat in saunas,
Shouldn't they be aware...
Of a climate that keeps them prepared?
Why do they go through the trouble,
...

Love and deceit,
Can not meet to greet...
Happily under one roof.
...
