Long Echos Poems

Place now...
And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign

Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

Spring's Excitement
There are rhythms of Nature that no one controls
that farms use to advantage! Time's fishermen sailed
both with tides and fair breezes offshore in their boats
at each dawn and dusk's onshore brought home each day's...

upon Him I place my sin,
peace,wholeness and...

My Mind Heart and Soul 


I seem to laugh yet never entertained
My smile shine bright but my joy is detained 
Cold and sore my heart slowly disintegrates

[Verse]
He snaps into me
in all the right ways
in all the right places

that magic phrase
he completes me
says what I am feeling

Excites my breathing
gets me worked up and on fire
lights up my hearts desire

How could he walk...

A wail echos into the night.
The sound of pure agony inbedded fright
Stumbling from tears that block sight
The wind stirs nothing feels quite right.

Mirrors mask, broken oath
Spectral unfathomable sweeping storm of despair
Substitute love,...

TRUE ...

You know not those dark
Places, mine, the dull, black
Chasms that hold a mind
When it's bare - stark and

So we can remain friends- hand in hand

Demon eyes that dwell in blue
porcelain skin pale and new
Hair of raven full and black
lips so shy color they lack

Boy so thin spitefully tall

Taps his fingers on the table
