Let me re-write
And try to appease
Those who hover
With unbridled ease
What was the word
Or the letter in the sentence
That caused them to censor
Asking for repentance
They whited out my words
In attempt to thwart my voice
And the meaning of my prose
An attempt to rid my choice
Let me again try to speak
So we can all see your face
The ones who are afraid
Of the free human race

We only want to live
In this world of love and peace
Do you think this a cliche…
Then remove your golden fleece
The arrogance some have
That it’s just a pipe dream
That so many voices
Are unknowing they deem
These are the words
So eloquently spoke
By the voices of you all
Never to be revoked
The birth of conscience
A world soon to come
Is a force to be reckoned
Driven by the young
A new world is arise
I only hope to relate
The path we are on
Is but our only fate
To adapt and change our minds..

The answer is so simple
But egos can muddle the stew
A force to change our planet
It’s destiny up to you
You all know the answer
You feel it in you heart
Every time you hear the cries
Of those of science impart
Our world is dying
If we choose to do nothing
Please listen to people of science
Who plea for you to do something
Sustainable is a word
All of you should know
But without is the key word
As this could be our fate
But it’s not too late
A mind set to adopt
As nations begin linking
That we can stand up to be heard
A global way of thinking
No longer can we impose
Our greed to consume
As our resources diminish
This planet’s fate does loom
A change must begin
Only with your strength
A generation of youth
In you I put all my faith…
In you..

Her little girl yawns
A walk to school, but a mile
Returns with star on her paper
A proud Mother, so quickly smiles
The paper proudly displayed
There for all to see
It stays there for years
As it’s only her to see
Worn and aged
This paper a treasured parchment
She will always boast
Her child’s achievement
Unwavering she continues
Feeling no parents of her own
She treads the path of life
Feeling abandoned and alone
Wanting just to share
The lessons her Child learned
With a father so needed
Who choose only to spurn
I can not understand
How minds so closed
Can disregard a daughter
No remorse of the pain imposed
She will always have solace
This love will never waver
The love for her children
And will last forever
A parent is…
Always there to support
Always there to help
Always there
Prayers for the ignorant
Shame on the selfish
Pity for the wicked
Know I will be here
As long as this world allows
But always I will be here
As my love forever resounds
giancasey.words ©
It was always hard to
Tell the ones I love
How I truly felt
I could never find the words
As I stumbled to express
How I truly felt
I lost so many loves to be
As I could never express
How I truly felt
I lost so many loves to be
Because I could not say
How I truly felt
I can only try now
To tell the one I love
How I truly feel
I will always try now
To show the one I love
How I truly feel
It’s that simple now
I can open my heart
As I truly feel
Because of you My love
giancasey.words ©
If I met you years before
In a distant bygone time
If I had that chance just once
I would have asked you to be mine
Should I talk for only a moment
In any ordinary way
Should I have that one chance
I would have never feared to say…
Could I dare to be so bold
As to give my heart to you
And break the chain that binds
The pain that sorely grew
Can I risk to pledge my love
There can be no other way
No time nor distance
Can hinder this love In play
I would have
I should have
I could have
I can
I do… Love you
giancasey.words ©
A new feeling I have found
Maybe locked away for years
That I can not understand
As it brings both wonder and fear
An urgency now grows
As the daylight does slowly fade
To embrace this missing piece
Of a puzzle I have long since made
I’m in awe of it’s power
Total reverence I would say
That it almost overwhelms
Every thought in every day
I do embrace this feeling
I think I can proceed
Because of my love for you
I found that I can now need …
someone
giancaseywords ©
There is a need sometimes
To quell, the pain of the past
Behind a locked iron door it sits
Though it somehow can sneak past
Incessantly it attempts return
To reveal anguish and fear
Forever linked by this chain
It waits for a chance to near
On guard must I always be
Aware of its disposition
To deceive by disguise
Seems it possesses intuition
Forever have we had this dance
Always taken to fruition
I take solace I know it well
The truth is my redemption
giancaseywords ©
Ani, how do I explain
Feelings I have never know
How do I understand
This friendship that has grown
Why you have cared
A mystery to me
See I don’t understand
This immense complexity
Never has anyone
Been a fiend and love to me
Confused I must admit
I’m sure it’s plain to see
Excuse my naiveté
As I have lived so far removed
From the normality others enjoy
A fault I so try to improve
My brain walks a thin line it seems
Not allowing me to wander
So understanding the concept of Love
Is a task so hard to ponder
I can’t’ explain how my mind works
A story longe since told
Just that the words elude
To the feelings I do hold
Then you came into my life
A fate now firmly sealed
The sky cleared, and sunlight shined
Your love had been reveled
How do I explain in words
That you freed my very soul
You brought clarity to my life
And taught me to be whole
And to Love…

The cold in the air
Cuts deep in my heart
As the light fades
Does the darkness start
A void in the world
With no end or start
A breath grows shallow
Blood slows in the heart
The blackness blinds
The cold air numbs
The wind blows bitter
The long night has begun
As the quiet deafens
No sound is heard
At a loss to say
In need of a word
No longer can I move
Alone do I sit
Not even a thought
Only these words to wit
giancasey.words ©
I always thought I knew well
A concept to be shown
A series of acts to demonstrate
And proclaim it as my own
I used it a few times in haste
Thinking it was real
And confused by the lack there of
The pain I thought I’d feel
As it faded like my jeans
Over time it’s soon forgot
My life went on another day
Devastated I was not
So easy to toss around
A cliche it could become
As shallow as a puddle
Spoken yet unsung
Content I had become it seems
That it was just a lie
Never again to seek it out
A mistake I can’t deny
Then I saw you
A fool I have been you see
In my heart I’ve come to know
With each day your in my life
The feeling would grow and grow
Never too old to learn in life
I have always proclaimed
Another lesson to impart
Not afraid to say your name
The feeling I do speak of
Has shined on me from above
From this light I can not hide
For I have found true Love
A song forever in my soul
A melody that sets my stride
The beat the guides my heart
From which I dare not hide
I stand here now Ani
In my hands my heart and soul
I offer it to you alone
To be yours forever more
I now know Love…
giancasey.words ©
You can’t know the impact
You have on me
How you changed my life
Opened my eyes to see
You remained by my side
Despite my insecurities
I can only extend
My deep humility
Extraordinary you are
With such patience you held fast
As my trust in you did grow
I realized this could last
You taught me patience
You calmed my fears
You showed me trust
Not know for many years
I leave the desert of solitude
And the pain I once knew
As you have quelled my thirst
A blessing all from you
You are My Moon in the sky
The stars far above
In the sea of Desire
My one true Love
giancasey.words ©
I say this with a fearful heart
Please don’t misunderstand
I’m not quite sure how you feel
As I lack the knowledge at hand
I never could tell if love
Was the same for you as me
In this life of solitude
I’m a bit confused don’t you agree
Do you truly love me
Or just being polite
Not wanting to hurt my feelings
As a true friend just might
Desperately I want to ask you
But am afraid to hurt what we have
If I’m wrong I may hurt you
And that I just can’t have
Do you really love me
The way I love you
Please help me understand
What love is for you
Seems I can put too much thought
Into life most basic need
Just being there for each other
Like water on a seed
I told you I love you
As you have the same
But isn’t it true what he said
Yes, “What’s in a name”
giancasey.words ©
To be free in a world
That is heavy with chains
From a past or present
For each of us it gains
So many ropes that bind
So many ways to break free
So many ways to confine
And forge a mold all can see
The modern world wields a sword
Of sharp cuts from within
By a Mother or Father
So can it begin
The inception is there to see
Young lives destined to fall
To the blades of the spiteful
Alone they do fall by them all
Until…
You find your calling
To answer your fears
Inspired by truth
Wise beyond your years
Break the chain that binds
Become who you are
Be free of the hate
Be who you are
And remember what She said..
” “Hope” is the thing with feathers” Emily Dickinson 1861
giancasey.words ©
She speaks to me now and then
As just a whisper
Or a scream sometimes
I don’t know when
Like the thunder she roars
Waking me from my sleep
She calls out to me
And my spirit soars
Is it her I see
As my heart beats strong
And I I know this is right
As she shows herself to me
A fleeting moment to be
A glimpse of inspiration
This feeling so overcomes
As the words flow easily
And my mind can now rest
As the words stuck
Can now attest
She spoke to me..
giancasey.words ©
As I looked into her eyes
A hundred years past
I saw her as she was
I fell in love at last
Separated by time
To see the first time
A love I have know
A love to be mine
How can it be
I don’t want to know
Her eyes met mine
That’s all I know
Love is timeless
Any distance it can span
It has no constrictions
No barriers that ban
giancasey.words ©
Helpless do I feel
As I am so far away
Words seem useless
On the struggles of your day
You say your okay
So selflessly you say
Not wanting to burden
A second of my day
How can I explain
I want to be there
I need you to open
Your soul if you dare
In this dark room
Allow me inside
A light for the shadows
From which they must hide
I can be your strength
When you are feeling without
A whisper from within
When needing to shout
Cast out your fear
I so desperately implore
My love is resilient
And yours forevermore
giancasey.words ©
Time is eternal
Never a rest to be taken
With each step I do tread
It’s pace seems to hasten
As I turn and look back
On the pages I wrote
Each chapter frozen in time
Each word now a quote
I know the words so well
No longer needed this day
I look to the path ahead
Each step salient I’d say
I treasure the past
And the ones I held dear
But must look to the horizon
As the end comes near
To smell every rose
To see every bird
To feel the sunshine
To hear every word
I do all this now
As I still have some time
To make sense of this world
In the words of this rhyme
My life is fulfilled
Once I found her that day
She gave me her love
She asked me to stay
I can now sit and rest
Absorb all that surrounds
To write my last chapter
As the abound
Thank you Ani
giancasey.words ©
Every morning anew
We face each day alone
Surrounded by so many
In a world tightly sewn
A step back is needed
A time to reflect
On the beauty that surrounds
The depth of a song to inflect
The beauty of love
In a world of this kind
Can sometimes be seen
By only the eyes of the blind
giancasey.words ©
For only a second
If I could make you laugh
Or even just a snicker
Please take on my behalf
For only a minute
If I could bring a smile
Or even just a grin
If only just a while
For only a short hour
If I could give you happiness
Make your day a bit better
With a touch of blissfulness
Resolute I am
What more can I say
This is my soul’s desire
If only for a day
giancasey.words ©
To know the face of beauty
To some will never be
Is to look within the soul
Then it’s plain to see
Silently she moves
Like wind through the trees
Not a sound can be heard
But rustle of the leaves
Gracefully she walks
In tune with every note
In only one song
She is every word that I wrote
With conviction in her eyes
No need for a sound
She speaks volumes to me
Yes, beauty I have found
giancasey.words ©
A simple act of kindness
Will go a long way
To help someone
To brighten their day
No need for money
If you are without
You can give so much more
Just with love no doubt
If it comes from your heart
Your Intentions will show
The meaning of your gift
They will surely know
giancasey.words ©
I can’t help sometimes
But to feel alone
I know you are there
But so far from my home
I can’t help sometimes
But to feel forlorn
Wondering when
You may leave and move on
I can’t help sometimes
But to feel alone
A one-sided love
An illusion I’ve known
I can’t help sometimes
That I feel this way
I am burdened by mistrust
I’m sorry to say
I sometimes just need
As I have many years
To work through my doubts
To embrace all my fears
This is a burden
I have carried all my life
Please don’t misunderstand
I mean not to bring strife
Prepared for the day
This all could come to pass
I need always to be
As I’ve learned from the past
I hope I am wrong
I hope this is true
The feeling I have
My feeling for you
giancasey.words ©
Is it fair to you
This feeling inside
We will never be together
Never walk side by side
I can’t help but worry
You see no other way
Not wanting to hurt me
You have chosen to stay
Never my intention
Never thought it could be
That I could hurt you this way
A barrier I could not see
It weighs so heavy
Hy heart is torn in two
For the love I have
And the burden to you
Am I wrong please tell me
Is this hurting you more
Am I thinking to much
Am I closing a door
giancasey.words ©
If only for a minute
You could understand this need
To have you in my life
Giving this for you to read
My thoughts can be lost
In a maze of jumbled time
A chore to impart
But oh it’s so sublime
I wonder some times
If this all just a waist
A blur of words
Written in haste
Then I take a step back
Throwing caution to the wind
Trusting you completely
So does the wheel begin
Round and round do I go
Never a end to the quest
To understand what love is
I can only do my best
giancasey.words ©
I feel lost sometimes
Alone in the night
Blinded by the darkness
No hint of a light
At sea am I lost
No site of land
Afloat in the waves
I can’t understand
I can’t find the words
I can’t find the reason
That sent me here
In this icy cold season
If here I need stay
A land with no ground
Let me live this life
With the love I had found
I need no possessions
No manna from above
I need only you
I need only your love
giancasey.words ©
An epiphany has come
A piece of the puzzle in place
We found each other
In a such a random space
Overwhelming this feeling
That i can now see
By the love you impart
That you do care for me
So simple to you all
But for us complexity
This thing called love
I know just you and I can see
To convey my inner thoughts
So easy now to do so
A journey to embark
A path for us to go
Crazy this may seem
Without rhyme nor reason
But our love is as constant
And true as every season
In the cold of winter
You warm my heart
With the birth of spring
You bring a new start
In the heat of summer
You are the cool breeze
With your colors of fall
You are the beauty I see
giancasey.words ©
You accept me as I am
No questions asked
You give without asking
A deep love to last
I can only give you
As it comes from my heart
Mere words on a page
From here do we start
I have little to give
But this feeling inside
If only it’s enough
I can no longer hide
I see you moved by a song
You are so beautiful to me
A-sway with each note
I profess for all to see
You kindness shines
Like rays of the sun
Warming my soul
A new life has begun
You entered my life
Like a hurricane
Turned me upside down
I bask in this pouring rain
I think of you every day
I dream of you every night
As our hearts beat as one
This feels so right
If beauty had a name
I know it to be
The name of my love
I call her My Ani
giancasey.words ©
To appreciate you
I will always try
To care for you
My love will never die
Should the sun go dark
And your alone in the night
Look in my eyes
I’ll be your light
Should you loose your way
And no where to hide
Take my hand
I’ll be your guide
I searched all my life
A soulmate unknown
Now I finally found you
And love can now grow
My life now complete
In my heart you reside
I’ll never leave you
And be always by your side
giancasey.words ©
He walks in the night
On a cold brick road
Past barred doors
In search of souls I’m told
He waits with restraint
Never shows haste
As time does not follow
Only his passion for waist
Of death I do not speak
As death has a code
I do not fear death
The embrace to the sick and old
I Speak of the evil
We all know his name
No code nor honor
He is immaterial just the same
He flaunts his ignorance
As if he holds cred
Not knowing he has walked
Onto the path of the dead
Death holds no preference
Cares not who he takes
Another lost soul
For death to forsake
giancasey.words ©
They are the vulnerable
With no one by their side
Not able to defend
To them many have lied
They learn on the street
Adapting as they go
Guidance from few
The only world they know
As the truth eludes
And lies abound
Like a meme they flourish
A voice with no sound
If I could only help
If I could give them hope
If I could lend a hand
If only I had the answer
giancasey.words ©
In a storm that rages
And the winds a-gale
Lightning surrounds
In a thunderous wale
Hail falling fast
Torrents now amass
A flood now does engulf
Every mountain in it’s path
No escape can be found
As death has come to collect
The souls of the indifferent
Those without repent
Now this is just a metaphor
Not quoting from a book
Just hoping to infer
That we all take a better look
At ourselves
With every child that goes hungry
And every child that should die
From the hands of the wicked
This earth should cry and cry
giancasey.words ©
aka justwords ©
My everything….
You are my thirst and my hunger
The blood that surges inside
Without which I can not live
This can never be denied
You are the air in my lungs
In each breath you fill my soul
To this once lonely man
Now you have made me whole
You are the vision of beauty
As you captivate my sight
I can not look way
Your in my dreams every night
You are the warmth in every touch
A soothing calm I feel
As if touched by an Angel
Hard to believe it’s real
You are my love
You are everything to me
You are my heart and soul
You are my Ani

Read it all if you dare
Read it all if you care
So as nations meet
In such pomp and style
Over an evening meal
Knowing all the while
At an ornate wooden table
With tapestry chairs
Bottled water and sherry
Chatting of local wares
I’ll give you this
If you give me that
Please pass the wine
Let’s define combat
Well that’s not so bad
Let’s spin the wheel
But it could look bad
Let’s see how they feel
The news is soon on
What spin to take
To pursue this war
A recourse we make
WTF
And there are children burned
There are children living in rubble
There are children so distressed
There are children starving
I ask one thing from you
Look inside your heart
Be honest with your self
As a child, what would you do?
As a child
Who would you become?
I know the answer…
And this is why I cry
And all of you should cry and cry
giancaseywords ©
I would walk this earth
Till my feet gave out
On hands and knees
Till time ran out
I would swim the seas
From shore to shore
Then back again
Till I could no more
I would give all I have
The shirt off my back
Walk naked in the desert
And never look back
I would do anything
As I long so much
To be by your side
And feel just one touch
giancasey.words ©
Not to be a broken record
I’ve said this all before
The mastery at which war is waged
Such parasites I Abhor
I speak of those who care not
Just another day in a life to be
As a bomb went off course…
…”The cost of war you see”
“Well these things happen”
So sorry of this child lying dead
We had no other choice
“We’ll send some rice and bread”
Did I paint an accurate picture
Were the colors to precise
I hope the canvas held the texture
As I have no inclination to be nice
Every hue the mark of a soul
Every brush stroke a child taken
Step back and take a look
A painting of humanity forsaken
Till your voice is heard…
giancasey.words ©
You say you love me
I know it’s true
It cannot be denied
My love for you
You have a life
Beyond my reach
Me a grain of sand
Alone on a beach
Anticipation resounds
As I await every day
To see your face
And the words you say
But later each night
My heart skips a beat
As I discern the reality
There’s a part of me missing
You…
giancasey.words ©
With no start nor end
Just came to mind
A jumble of thoughts
Of a feeling I find
Longing without want
Listen with open ears
Caring with no bounds
Trusting without fears
Giving of yourself
Accepting with no strings
Laughing with each other
With even the smallest of things
Enjoying just the moment
If just one word or a smile
Or a quip said playfully
Pure magic all the while
In tune with the beat
Of each pounding heart
Taking a breath
Not wanting to part
Being there always
Never backing away
Seeing our faults
Never a harsh word to say
Being supportive
With never a doubt
Always by your side
I can’t live without
This must be love
giancasey.words ©
Standing all alone
There for all to see
Alone in a field
A majestic oak tree
One with the wind
With just a subtle sway
Each limb speaks a tale
Of many bygone days
Below live so many
A community so diverse
Entwined is this nexus
Of which I speak in this verse
I want to be optimistic
But the sand is falling fast
This natural world is dying
By the pace of our hour glass
It all leads back to egos
So many “leaders” with no aim
Just puppets of the rich
The vacuous who assign blaim
This earth will soon die
I’m sorry to say
Our deserts are growing
Rivers drained each day
Temperatures rise
Oceans over fished
No one seems to care
As if their only wish
I can go on and on
Seems no one has a care
I only hold onto one hope
One of you will dare
To change…
giancasey.words ©
Another day in a life
Never had a clue
This was the day
I was looking for you
When I saw you smile
Could not look away
As if I had know you
Here I must stay
It’s hard to explain
As I’m encompassed by you
This bridled feeling
Of love I once knew
We share a few words
Express a stray thought
But powerful this is
A love sorely sought
See this is only a day
In a lifetime with you
Just moments we share
There’s something about you…
giancasey.words ©
Never cared much for possessions
Nor the fight to gain more
Never understood the disdain
A trait I abhor
Please let me shed context
My friends always eschew
Never understood
As the ignorant never knew
The beauty of each soul
I proclaim in each rhyme
Treasures forever
In my insignificant time
So I continue each day
Their memories calling me
Like the pull of the moon
On every ocean and sea
I need only…
giancasey.words ©
If only I had diamonds
Or gold in a pan
If only I had a true love
I would be a rich man

The bus ride… part 1
Step right on in
Keep your hands inside
Hold onto your ticket
Let’s take a ride
First stop the institutions
Born to protect
Yet thru the years
Have become just a fect
Keep on the path
Please do not veer
Present your stub
Or you can’t come near
Coming up on your right
Where relics reside
They vouch for their validity
Why of course would they lie
Now look to your left
So many choices
While lining their pockets
Deaf to your voices
Coming up ahead
You will see a modest face
Has no glittered signs
Not paced in a race
Just speaking of truths
No-one else will confess
Depending on you
To convince all the rest
Promises nothing but
Asks for your help
A world falling apart
In need of some help
giancasey.words ©
Next stop the Faithful
Please exit to your right
Follow the golden road
We’ll stay till the night
Cloaked in robes
Embossed in golden weave
Could feed the ones
Who follow and believe
Atop a high horse
Do they sit with disdain
Pointing a long finger
At the drop of a name
At days end they retire
With a magnificent feast
Throwing out scraps
To the waifs in the streets
Sated by aged grapes
Passed out on a bed
Covered with satin
On which they were led
Pittance they pay
For all of their needs
The faithful pay the price
For the gluttony it feeds
giancasey.words ©
Last on your journey
The hall of nations
Tense as a piano wire
Tinder for relations
Please stay silent
Lest your seen as a threat
With one phone call
Your fate could be set
The epitome of Chaos
All just the same
Dictator, president
But what’s in a name
Some driven by greed
Aspirations of grandeur
Speaking so easily
No change to be sure
No government is perfect
Some hold the same goal
Yet the means taken
Can cost a heavy toll
Yet war seems a game
A chance to plunder
The spoils left in rubble
A Childs life just a blunder
They talk a good game
“Just get me elected”
Say what they want
To infer you’re respected
Come back again
Should you decide to return
To the ride of a lifetime
As truths are unveiled to discern

We are a planet of life
We rely on each other
From virus to Blue whales
A partnership like no other
An intricate cacophony
Music to my ears
The vastness of life
Brings joyous tears
A precise placing of notes
So eloquently played
From resounding beats
To a symphony made
An instrument out of tune
Is the demise of a song
No beauty can be heard
Musical beauty gone wrong

A crude comparison I make
As nature is to complex
To think we can dump pesticides
No fear of what comes next
We poison our food with
Antibiotics like candy
Let’s inject them today
With whatever is handy
Keep those bugs away
This poison makes them fall
Make that fruit look pretty
We’ll make millions after all
I ask just one question
How did we get so out of hand
The price of a seed
Has driven the demise of our land
The quest for riches
Cannot drive this earth
There has to be a balance
Respect for natures worth
giancasey.words ©
We are just a speck
In the history of life
And now we see our fragility
Cut like a knife
Make no mistake
See thru all the lies
The fools who deny
Forge a path of demise
You all must trust
The people who care
Those are the people of science
The people who dare
We are at a precipice
Of life or extinction
What you do now drives
Our time for distinction
I believe in our youth
I put my trust in you!

Never fear change
Always fear indifference

I have plead so many times
Waging war is not the answer
It’s a response from either side
An attempt to force the issue
Communication is the key
Egos must be put aside
But all is in vain
If we must choose a side
We are only human
Not yet able to conceive
Our inherent links
We need only to believe
The ease at which lives are taken
Seemingly insignificant
Children laid dead and burned
Overlooked by the indifferent
What egomaniacal tyrants
Pretend that they care
War and hate the norm
Those who follow should beware
I speak of every side
Don’t pretend to be the savior
You are all guilty
Of killing souls
No-one is held in favor
I ask just one thing
Who has the right to devour
Who has the right to take a life
No one should have this power
They drop bombs like raindrops
No care for the innocent
Children are dying
By the laughs of the sycophants
Soft voices say no
Then retreat to their rooms
Far from the devastation
No knowledge of the tombs
I speak of no one particular
A voice without breath
From every know nation
That flaunts the flag of death
