    About this ebook

    Anima Sola is the first publication from poet and writer LA Lombardi. This stirring collection of poetry touches upon themes ranging from love, inner turmoil, and coming of age. Deeply personal and emotionally charged, Anima Sola is somewhat of a "loose memoir of prose" chronicling a young man's trials and tribulations into adulthood. This is a powerful first book from a promising and gifted new writer.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Anima Sola - LA Lombardi

      Man & Boy

      Man says to boy, "Life is three truths:

      You're young 'till you're old

      Old then you die

      And the rest is up to you."

      Boy looks down at a shallow grave

      Man calls it life but it isn’t the same

      We dig it ourselves, the man's grinning teeth

      It costs us all but the shovels come cheap.

      Man admires the dirt and the boy walks away

      It'll come for you tomorrow, if not today!

      Boy turns around and his voice never shakes

      Then I'd rather not waste it at the foot of a grave.

      Castle Walls

      Galleries of sighs and hallways of smoke

      Painted veils and crowns that have broke

      My life's work inside these castle walls

      Wine stained glasses atop deserted tables

      Shrugged shoulders and rewritten fables

      A bitter taste within these castle
