Lance Carthen Poems

Happy Mother's Day.
For it comes but once a year.
To a mother who loved her children.
Who held them close and dear.
...

As I walked over a hill in my dream...
a graveyard came into view.
A circle of people all dressed in black
...

Amanda...
Down in the well.
...

I wish I could have seen it.
The dark beauty is translucent,
A rose reflection without petals,
The dry waterfall tastes so bitter.
...

Distinguishing remnants.
The peace heart is broken.
Insects betray their king.
Raging conflictions.
...

Young dumb fun swallow my tongue
This ones for you
Imagination fixation on three dirty blondes
Why cant you see your not the one for me
...

To my daughter, Lyla.
You are my baby...
...

Bloodlust in the shadows.
Eyes as white as snow.
...

Its so hard to love you...when you just run away.
I reach out to kiss you...then you turn your face.
I remember the old days...when you used to say,
I love you darling...may our love never fade.
...

Your pride will hide your glow.
There's nowhere left to go.
