Charles Lara Poems

It was so long ago
when I was immortal
and free with passages
of frozen time
...

Castle made of glass
glistens in the night,
bringing winter winds
to part the rains away,
...

Hot dogs
and
chips
followed
...

The Road was full of snow
and the sun waved through
and warm thighs of youth
called me home
...

Sloppy Soldiers
welcome in the dawn
of relief and nothing happened
18 and just like it after
...

Sweet 16th and my stepdaughter
is having a limo
pick her and her
seven closest friends
...

Clean and well fed
pushing white revolving doors
until time is up
and there is no longer
...

Wild orchid opens
as a gentle rain
comes down and
touches its petals
...

The summer sleeps
and soft crickets play poker
for ripe ripe leaves
while spiders watch
...

Away on the
ocean of life
we sailed
without canvass
...
