Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Hounds on the prowl...
Wolves in silk and satin,
Growl.
Tasty morsels loose unleashed.
...

Something obsessed...
That has to be possessed.
And It can not be obtained too easily,
Or it will quickly be left like the rest!
...

There's nothing available for you here.
Take your feet off the welcome mat...
Turn around and disappear!
I hope I'm making myself clear?
...

You simply
Can't live a happy life
With a chip on your shoulder.
Or with beliefs that someone owes you...
...

Have you been forgiven?
Have you looked inside,
To release those burdens of guilt?
Overcomed with anxiety...
...

Some folks may change personas,
But they wear the same pajamas.
And when they expose,
The same butt and nose...
...

I'm so glad to see us back together.
Even though we argue and fight!
Let's keep 'us' back together...
So I can sleep peacefully at night!
...

Some may say I don't 'NEED'
But that I 'WANT'!
But I know what I need...
And it's you that I want.
...

Poppa didn't come to stay,
Standing on the sidelines
To watch others play!
Poppa came to rock!
...

The only game there is
In a place small enough to play it...
Is the one so completely obvious
Those involved are given clues,
...
