Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I missed being with you so much,
I gave myself to someone else.
And when we kissed in nakedness...
With closed eyes it was you I felt!
...

Sharing within a relationship...
Time, devotion, commitment and love
Should not find these values outsourced!
And if that should happen...
...

Suddenly those once feeling victimized,
By others who found it easy...
To slander and despise them with creative lies,
Have found that keeping faith
...

Part time piece,
Or lover on the side...
Appeals to those appeasing,
In these times truth hide.
...

Their tragedies are noted,
And documented with flair.
They announce themselves war mongers,
Leaders in this game of conquer and despair.
...

As it is...
It comes,
This 'thing' described.
Given a name
...

The only thing being won,
By a society outdone...
Recalling customs aged and tired,
Are people inspired to discard foolisness.
...

She said I was a rebel!
I thought that odd...
Since that day she detected my nature,
I was without my codpiece!
...

I hope you're not thinking,
I'm exploring my aggression.
With thoughts of me
As a misfit in your head...
...

They wonder why their trails are blocked.
Why accomplishments gained,
Are suddenly stopped!
They insist there are more deeds to make.
...
