A journey had begun
To return back in time
Inspired by her song
To bring reason to rhyme
We shared simple moments
Of insight and pain
Though fleeting their time
Profound just the same
The distance between
Now beginning to grow
Those simple moments
A wedge soon to know
A journey well worth
At a cost it would be
With the highs and the lows
We both soon would see
This path soon ended
By a fork in the road
A choice there would be
Whether to carry this load
We began this together
What path will we take
Standing at the crossroads
A new story soon to make

Absence they say
Makes the heart grow founder
With every missed day
Feelings begin to wander
It’s a fine line to tread
Between absence and space
A quote often read
Yet a dance to be paced
Unchecked absence
Can stir doubts and fear
A balance of patience
Should always be held dear
Simple words on a line
Though elegant and strong
By no means sublime
Just words in a song
giancaseywords ©
Should always
Be the One Person
Who Will always be there
No matter what
It’s that simple
Yet so often
Not.. because of…
selfishness, ego, pride, ignorance, vanity, envy and apathy
giancaseywords ©
Should always
Be the One Person
Who Will always be there
No matter what
It’s that simple
We are all human and make mistakes
The ability to learn from them is our redemption
Never give pride nor ego the opportunity
To interfere
Being humble can heal wounds
giancaseywords ©
A life now long lived
Born of pain and fear
Racing down a path
With no brakes
A reflection became clear
Choices of necessity
Sculpted a cold heart
Trust a word never known
love just a myth
Alone from the very start
Surviving many times by
Wearing many shoes
Easy to walk side by side
With evil’s umbra
A path ahead to choose
This is when lessons learned
Become a saving grace
Able to see so clearly
It’s true nature
Exposing the evil’s face
For all to see…

The definition has changed
Over the years
With church and state to blame
But the construct
Remains unchanged
A family is still the same
A solid foundation
Gives support
For the children to thrive
Marriage no longer
A requisite
A new understanding has arrived
I can say now I am a
Happy man
With such beautiful souls
They are my children
My grandchildren
They are of a wealth untold…
They are my World

I would think of you
Every day
I would dream of you
every night
I would ache for you
In every way
I would search for you
When out of sight
I would write to you
All I feel
I would pay to you
Any toll
I would hunger for you
As if my last meal
I would give to you
My heart and soul
I gave all this for your love…
giancaseywords ©
Writing is a necessity
When at a loss of what to say
Or in banal conversation and
Depth left at bay
Thru a windshield dis I
A day in a life
On a road I don’t know
Awoke with this strife
There are times however
Words flow without thought
No rhyme nor reason
A feeling sorely sought
I can speak eloquently
With fervent resolve
My thoughts flow effortlessly
Problem seemed solved
But in an instant
This all can fade away
I’m left in a dark room
Words suffocatingly gray
It’s then I have to sit
Keyboard in hand
Words coalesce into an idea
And meaning began
It’s this feeling I get
That puts chaos to rest
I can then again breathe
Confusing I confess
That’s why I write
giancaseywords ©
Like an itch I cannot scratch
Words always on the brink
Writing in prose
Relieves the pain
Reveals what I think
Not quite sure how it works
A mystery all the same
The way I think
As left and right meld
In this damaged brain
Thoughts that meld
In the left and right brain
I started this poem
On a cold winter’s night
With an idea, a thought
And a few words
I began to write
But sometimes those thoughts
Begin to suddenly fall
As the words overflow
A river over a waterfall
I can’t grasp them all
And just like that it’s gone…
giancaseywords ©
You gave me kindness
With such a warm ear
You gave me assurance
Allowing me near
You showed me my errors
With no judging at all
You helped me contend
Not letting me fall
Complete admiration
Always I will hold
Inspired to write again
A crumbled letter now to unfold
Untethered unbound
Words can have flowed
Because of you My Love
And the kindness you still show
Because of you Ani…

Like pawns on a chessboard
Moved from square to square
Threaten my king now
Only if you dare
To survive at this game
Forethought is the key
A move of selfish haste
A damaged child, Soon to be
Divorce in never easy
I know this to be true
First and foremost
The children should never lose
So naive adults can be
That children don’t know
The meaning of derision
The hatred that can show
It starts with discussion
Both sides must agree
To be civil adults
As the children always see
Concessions from both
A valuable lesson to teach
With open conversations
A compromise can be reached
This is not about the car
The couch nor the chair
It’s how can we help the child
Understand that we care
The children will then know
That problems can be solved
There is life after divorce
For every one involved
The children will know
…I’m not a pawn at all
giancaseywords ©
You can call for me and
I’ll answer
You can write to me and
I’ll read it
You can ask any question and
I’ll answer
You can sing any song and
I’ll listen
You can ask me for patience and
I’ll wait
You can ask to bare my soul and
I’ll bare it
You can ask for my heart and
I’ll give it
You are the fire in my heart
You are the air that I breathe
You tell me to forget you
I can’t
You are unforgettable

Wrote many songs
Sung many tunes
Told everything
About my life
To you
You mean so much
I can’t Loose touch
I can’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you
I can try too hard
To be a friend
I can write so much
Seems it never ends
I never want your smile
to leave, You mean so much
I can’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you
I said you should never
Lose foresight
On what is always
Best for your life
I’m but a single page in your
Book of life
So don’t look back
I can’t hold you back
I have two coins
In my left
Four coins
In my right
I’d give all six
Without a thought
I don’t want them back
Don’t make me fight
I’d leave you in a second
If it was best for you
You know it’s true
You know I will
Because I Care for you
You know I do
May be a dork
Not very bright
But some times
I see the light
Just tell me that
I’m bad or you
I won’t put up a fight
I’ll leave from your life
You know that’s true
Just for you
You know that’s true…
The worse thing I could ever do
Is to make your life difficult for you
I’d rather leave without a trace
And let you move at your own pace
Than hurt you.
That is what I would truly do for love
Just say the word…
Long since sought…
Did I hurt you Did I anger you
Or Am I just mistaken
Will you talk will you answer
Is a friendship forsaken
I have no idea
Should I leave Should I stay
Would you give me a clue
Some hint On this day
I have never been good
At being a friend
I’m too long alone
Maybe too old to amend
I do know you
Have been a blessing to me
You opened my heart
You helped me to see
If you have grown tired
Grown angry with me
Let me say I’m sorry
And I’ll let you be…
I just have not a clue
Confused and distraught
To keep a friendship
Long since sought

Not a sad poem
Please don’t mistake
When my sister had passed
Many memories she did make
I look at her children
I see her in each face
I see her passion for them
In a resolute embrace
She never new
The impact on me
As she was long gone before
I could see
I wish I could tell her
I wish I could say
You are the reason I was able to stay
To Susie
giancaseywords ©
I don’t understand
To be lost in words
I sometimes am
To be lost in images
I can’t understand
To be in the dark
Without a candle
Searching for meaning
Reaching out in random
This is my life
From time to time
Thoughts caught in a dam
That needs a rhyme
I get lost without words
With no way out
Forever stuck
Without a doubt
Had a goal and a plan
A way I could speak
Then the train was derailed
Lost the meaning I seek
This started a thought
But now long gone
No glimpse of the idea
Like an incomplete song
Wanted to talk to you…
But it’s now all in the dark
Maybe you can understand now
Why I’m such a dork..
giancaseywords ©
I don’t understand
How people can lie and deceive
So easily it flows
So many believe
To obtain what they want
No regret nor remorse
Self-empowerment
Their sole course
My love for the animals
Did grow from this fact
No deceptions no hate
No conscience to lack
A wolf will always be a wolf
And true to his nature, will act
Though every day a struggle
Content to be alive
Will only defend
The need to survive
Not all people
Do I make this claim
The good in this world
You all know your name
One day the past
Will reunite
With its future
To all the souls
Who were true
To their nature
giancaseywords ©
Why you run from me
Why your so weary
To make you feel this way
A weight I must carry
I don’t know what I did
That hurt you this way
I could say I’m sorry
Two words so easy to say
But those two words
Are really meant for me
To make me feel better
That’s not how it should be
Please let go of the hurt
Let me take all your pain
This load I should always carry
While kneeling cold in the rain
I could never mean to hurt you
Is so by my own ignorance
I’m not very good at any of this
Just reacting to circumstance
Let me tell you this
I will not run away
I will be here if ever
You should want me to stay..
My love

Life and love can be
One in the same
To live for each one
To seek out both by name
Our life is a tapestry
A sequence of memories
Woven tightly together
A story of our journeys
Our loves we have had
From when we were young
All are the pages
In this book so begun
In each chapter we grow
We learn from mistakes
We discover our heart
And decisions it makes
I began to pondered
The reason I am here
What could there be
I could hold so dear
Then I met her that night
Life would never be the same
I now finally know
The reason I came
Yes, Life and love are
One in the same
I have found them both
In only one name…
Ani

To spend the day
Thinking of you
I dream at night
And see your face
You are in my heart
You are in my dreams
You are in my thoughts
You are all it seems…
You inspire me
I desire you
You are in my dreams
I long for you
I am so far away
You are so close to my heart
I am old and gray
You didn’t care from the start
Just when I thought
No one could open this heart
Just then I knew
We’d never be apart
That’s when Ani
Walked into my world
That’s when doubts and fear
Began to unfold
And Just when I thought…

Two souls born in the sun
Destined to be together
Two hearts beating as one
Two loves needing each one
A celestial attraction
A journey just begun
Drawn to her not knowing why
She would pull him near
A force from the sky
She was to stay above
And command all the seas
He was send down
To live amongst all the trees
A distance too far
Forever apart
He would listen all day
For the sound of her heart
She did not want to see him this way
So she would come out each night
So he could see her beauty
By the glow of her light
Every night he would call
Hoping she could hear
Letting her know
He was still there
Forever apart
But never alone
Each day it got stronger
As true love had grown
If you go out at night
But never too soon
You can still hear him howl
Forever to his Love…
His World
His Moon

Took a ride out of town
To the wilderness
Had to put some distance
Away from all the craziness
Had to close my eyes
And take a break from madness
Had to step back
And realize it may be all hopelessness
I thought I found a Love
I have been looking for
I had searched for
All of my life For her
Just a dream is seems
That I had created
She was a vision of love
That so often I evaded
She was gone in the wind
On a winters day
My life to be frozen in time
What more can I say
She’s gone
She’s gone…
giancaseywords ©
I’m sorry that I hurt you
Not by intention
But by ignoranceDoesn’t really matter now
Had a message the other day
To try to explain why I’m broken
Took it down as it doesn’t
Doesn’t really matter now
To think of someone everyday
And every night for the last 5 months
Has been a blessing to me.
To think I ruined your life
By 5 little words is devastating
I don’t know what else to do
But to leave so I can’t hurt you again
You are the Love of my Life
My heart is empty and cold
I am lost without you
giancaseywords ©
If I leave, am I hurting you more?
If I stay, will I hurt you again
You are everything to me
I don’t want you to feel bad
I don’t mean to make you feel bad
But it seems that’s all I do
I don’t know what to do
I can only leave it up to you
You are and will always be a part of me
I can only say that I love You
I will always love you
I just don’t know what to do
giancaseywords ©
To always want more
To seek what’s new
To never settle
To find a Love as you
To search for answers
To dream from above
To find more questions
To wake with you My Love
To offer myself
To show you a way
To give you my heart
To prove I will stay
To be there for you
To think of your heart
To exist just for you
To know we won’t part
To always need you
To seek you each day
To never forget
To find a way
To tell you I need you
To show you I want you
To treasure you always
To tell you I love you
To Only you…

What we started this friendship
Became so much more
What seemed not possible
Like nothing before
How could this love
Survive so far apart
How could we ever
Expect to embark
On a journey thru life
Though not side by side
A journey together
That can’t be denied
Not my place to question
Forces sought for so long
Only my love for you
That I know is so strong
Seems I have not an answer
I have not a clue
I only believe
I was destined for you
When I take my last breath
It can’t be denied
I will be able to sleep
With you at my side
Then I can rest….
giancaseywords ©
My life changed
When you entered this world
I knew in that second
A book soon to be told
I then had meaning
You had saved my life
There was purpose for once
You cut thru my pain like a knife
We raised you both
To be stand strong and tall
I could not be more proud
As you exceeded them all
To have you both
In my life all these years
Is a blessing so dear
You help ease all my fears
Now you passed onto your children
With such fervent wills
Your knowledge, wisdom and caring
To them you instilled
Someone once asked me
If I’m a happy man
I could not ask for more
As if there was a plan
I have been blessed
To have you all in my life
I could not ask for more
No coin could suffice
What more could I ask
To be such a blessed man
You are the reason I live
Truly happy, I am
Because of all of you I can rest…

What a ride this has been
The ups and the downs
Against all odds
This friendship we found
Always on my mind
You are a force in my world
A thought that won’t leave
A Treasure untold
Just when I thought
You began to tire
You sent me a message
Set my heart on fire
Like a Carnival ride
With a slow start the had grown
You are the scream of excitement
The anticipation of the unknown
You’re the high in my life
The peak of desire
The thrill of the journey
The spark to inspire
The strength of a hurricane
With a thunderous roar
You’re as gentile as a breeze
Causing my soul to soar
Yes you are the love of my life
The air that I breathe
The skip of my heart
An Angel I believe
You are a force
Like nothing I’ve known…
Hope…
Life is full of forks in the road
It’s not the path we choose
But how we take each step
A lesson not to loose
I’m not adept in subtleties
Always a bit naïve
Can confuse the ones I love
They understand I do believe
I always hope to try to explain
To the people I hold dear
How my mind “works”
Hoping they stay near
You are all so dear to me
You help me to cope
I have no other choice
But leave, it all to hope..

(Never a Black Eye again)
The day has come
To stand and decide
It can be so easy
With friends by your side
It’s all just a farce
They think you’re afraid
So they play on your fear
And an image they made
I see each one
And their impotence so clear
When needing to hide
They keep intimidation near
The weapon they use
Is the assumption of fear
You have all the power
To lean on your pier
See it’s not you
It’s the demise of a weasel
As we all can now see
Under the mask is just evil
How to defend
How to contend
How to cope
How to get untied from this rope
You can demand
You can impose
You can defend
You can never sate to pretend
It’s really very easy
To break from this chain
It’s the strength you have
That was forged by your pain
See you push them aside
As no impact they made
Leave them in the dust
In the dust they will fade
Because you chose
To be strong
A black eye they have made
But not on you
It’s the mark of a user
A toll they will soon pay
Because you chose
To be strong…
A black eye they have made
But not on you
It’s the mark of a user
A toll they will soon pay
See Iv’e met people like Them in the streets
I know who they truly are
No one should ever fear
The cowards they truly are
It actually makes me laugh
As I look at them and say. ..
Pitiful

Please know
People give because we
Should care for each other
We should expect nothing in return
There is no shame in asking for help
There is honor in doing whatever
It takes to help our children
There is honor in being truthful to each other
That is all we can ask
We can only ask for honesty
To deceive only hinders eachother
To open our hearts only allows our spirits to grow
Ideals of a sycophant…
I do not pretend to know
The steps you have tread
I can never understand
The forced path you were led
The brutality of a war
From a foreign invasion
That forced a defense
Of a peaceful nation
In case you are unclear
If you don’t understand
I speak of People
Born of the Land with
Blue Skies above
Golden Fields below
Embellished in your flag
A nation’s strength to grow
I have no kinship
I can only relate
The struggle you face
And the course of your fate
Lives lost for no reason
A world with remorse
To stand against tyranny
United to hold course
Admiration we hold
For a people you see
The strength of their spirits
Will always be
In The wind it will blow
In each gentle drop of the rain
Under a blanket of snow
In every season that came
Your legacy not to fade
As the fields will always grow
You will be here always
In Body, Spirit and Soul
The song but a whisper
It resonates inside
Every bone in every body
A spirit that won’t hide
The words are not lost
Yes they exist to this day
You can hear them each time
The wind blows your way
Seems the facts get lost
They tend to be forgotten
The truth gets overlaid
With convenient responses
We have been shown
Images by the ignorant
With lies and deception
Ideals of a sycophant
He who tramples
Will feel the hoofs of the Horsemen
giancaseywords ©
We are a world of nations
A world of Tribes
A world of leaders
No sight to subside
Nations flex their arms
They impose their might
Upon every nation
That stand to fight
We have to realize
The time has come
For the meek and strong
To unite as one
The senseless slaughter
Of innocent souls
In the name of war
Has surpassed all tolls
I speak to you all
I plead for you to care
A change has to come
A rip in the fabric, a heavy tear
We can no longer sate
We can no longer turn away
We have an onus to stand up
And express what we have longed to say
It’s so simple I fear
That no one will see
How peace can bloom
How a world can just be
In peace with no war
Just in this simple prose
For each and every person
No need to impose
A neighbor we are
Either a country or nation
Just leave each other alone
With no explanation
It seems sometimes
Some need use second sight
And understand the hate
They can so easily incite
We can no longer hate
We must always hear
A call for peace
A world without fear
I have faith in our love
I know this day will come
I pray for enlightenment
That we all can live as one
We are the children of this world
The soul of Humanity
In peace…

She’s a Romanian beauty
A body that won’t lie
She took my breath away
Left me asking why
I could not forget
The love she would show
How She took my heart
And never let go
Because she
Lit my heart on fire
Because of she
I would never tire
She has the face Devine
But a force to rout
Like in a hurricane
I was thrown about
Then she called to me
Asked me to come near
I could not resist
I had no fear
Because she
Held my heart so near
Because of she
Took away my fears
Because she is the love of my life..

As I watch you sing
Watch you sway to every note
I get lost in your eyes
Out to sea and afloat
Such a desire you inspire
My heart raced as I wrote
Feeling every beat of your heart
The vibration of every note
I can hear your voice
So clearly it rings out
With the gentlest tone
In my body throughout
You touch my soul
With every motion of your hand
As if reaching inside me
It’s hard to understand
The depth of the hold on me
Deeper than the seas
Builds with every pulse
Begging for you please
Now immersed in your beauty
In this song on this night
The crescendo of the chorus
We both sing to our delight
Yes, as we sing this duet
Though no one else can hear
The melody of your beauty
Only to me is it so clear…
As the music builds

Why I care for you
You gave me your time
Why I need you
You brought out my rhyme
How I sought you
Was by circumstance
Why you chose to stay
Was but only by chance
Now I can no longer
Imagine life without you
Now a friendship
I know is true
When I wake every morn
You give reason to be
When rest at night
You’re the dream I see
I pray.
Before my last breath
You’re the air in me
Before the last light
You are all I see
After I go
A smile will remain
Forever your love
The love I did name… Ani

Living free
Feeling good
I hope you’re feeling the same
I’ve seen hate
I’ve seen love
If in doubt you just call my name
I’ll be there
When you call
I’ll always be there when you’re in need
Look at me
Look in my eyes
I could never ever leave you be
You’re my world
You’re my love
I only hope that you can see…..
You’re the best thing that happened to me
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the beauty that I see
You’re everything to me
I’m just living free
Because of you…
I’m Living free
I’m Feeling good
I hope you’re feel the same
You deserve
To feel free
You have earned each coin
You’re the best thing that happened to me
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the beauty that I see
You’re everything to me
And I would have it no other way
But living free..
Along with you

Admiration I have
For the single Mother
Doing all she can
Like no other
Sacrifices she makes
Every day and night
For her children
She will always fight
Against all odds
With the wind in her face
Uphill is her journey
A constant race
Should solace arrive
A chance to breathe
I can only pray
Her pain should alleve
That day will come
When her children grow
The sacrifices she made
They will always know
Unbreakable this bond
Everlasting to be
The love of a Mother
For all to see
Pure love this is
Can be no imitation
I will always impart
Complete admiration
For you Ani

I didn’t know who she was
Never sat at her table
Seemed surreal this Love
Maybe just a fable
I didn’t know who she was
Only the warmth of her love
In golden rays of the sun
Shining down from above
With every word I wrote
Her world did unfold
The essence of her self
Her story to be told
You need only to look
To see her true self
Her love for others
An endless wealth
Support i must give
To show her to all
To impart this on paper
Never to let fall
I know who she is
I know the depth of her soul
As we became closer
So much more to be told
A fable or story
Does it matter at all
She changed my life
In love did I fall
With a smile and a wink
With the twinkle in her eyes
I became a rich man
With her now in my life
Now I see who she is

So, let’s cut to the chase
This is about power
The abuse and it’s want
To force others to cower
To whom this applies
For you to decide
I’m just the pen
To raise conscience inside
I speak from my life
I know all too well
That silence will only
Allow egos to swell
I am so proud of you all
Who chose to speak
Of the crimes of those
Who prey on the weak
A journey just begun
Miles are ahead
Remembrance a tool
Voices of the dead
To strip away
Their cloaks of deception
To expose every crime
Is our path to redemption
Our Onus is Redemption

I had always missed
Having true love in my life
A void in my heart
That cut like a knife
Always there to remind
With ever beat
Emptiness is seemed
A constant foe to defeat
Then you entered my life
A gentle breeze of warm air
Under the wings of a butterfly
You came out of nowhere
A song without a care
With only love there to be
Enjoying every note
There, for all to see
This is when I found
I could have love in my heart
Given with no toll
Let me try to impart
You offered friendship
Asking only in return
Trust, love and caring
Something I had to learn
With all my faults
You remained by my side
Forgiving every misstep
I need no longer hide
This is when I realized
Love could now abound
Because of you Ani
True wealth I have found
Because of You…

He walks silently
With purpose
Behind every step
Patiently waiting
In the dark had he crept
I knew he would come
The day I must pay
The toll for my life
No need should I say
My life had been blessed
With loved ones so near
They are my Treasure
My wealth I hold dear
I can now rest
Giving up every coin
To my loved ones, memories
To the earth I do join
I am thankful and blessed
Of the life I have made
With kindness and honesty
This toll has been paid

My life here to see
Simple with no glory
A tragedy or comedy
Or just a love story
Am I all alone
Is this just a thought
Could I find Love
A dream so long sought
Alone I have been
An island at sea
Wanting to know
If ever there could be
A love in my life
Someone to care
Who accepted me as me
If she would only dare
Alone I have been
A feeling long fought
That one day would come
Loneliness then naught
Just when I thought
All was lost in this world
You entered my life
And love did unfold
I don’t understand
I could never believe
That someone like you
Would stay and not leave
Though never to touch
And a world apart
I found true love
Ani, I give you my heart

Is this just a dream
Having love in my life
Or just wishful thinking
Asleep in the night
Can she be real
This beauty I see
Or a mirage in a dessert
Never meant for me
Would imagination
Play a part in this role
A fantasy created
For this empty soul
Could a mystery this be
To never resolve
An enigma within
A puzzle to solve
No, she certainly is real
Her love is pure and true
A beauty to behold
A friendship that grew
I am a blessed man
By my own admission
You are a part of my life
A beautiful vision
I wake to the curves
On your porcelain face
I think of you always
Of just one embrace
I fall asleep with a vision
Of you next to me
And dream of a love
That was meant to be

So long ago
After my sister passed
Family rummaged thru the
Materials of her past
Claiming each trinket
Attempts to surpass
I saw but one thing
A 5 gallon water glass
It was empty and dusty
Covered by old clothes
But it called to me
I was who it chose
I would fill this with coins
In event of my death
For my children to have
The toll of a last my breath
So I kept placing coins
So slowly it would fill
Thought wasted endeavor
A defeat of my will
Then today I awoke
And the glass is nearly full
I realize my efforts
Set the course for my soul
See I have been blessed
To live to bestow
Giving my coins
To the loves that I know
Np need to hoard
As that only smothers
But to live to return
All I have to others
So now the glass
Is nearing the top
The coins not for me
I dare not stop
This is payment due
For the life I have led
For the taker of souls
Who you have since read
This is when I can finally rest
A Happy man
The call of the Hourglass

The threat is real
Science does know
Search the evidence
That scientists can show
This is not a hoax
Just an idiot’s pretense
His head in the sand
A voice with no sense
Step back and look
An environment on the edge
Species in peril
While leaders drive a wedge
You all hold the key
You have the tools
To find the truths
Hidden by fools
Here are some tools for you
With love

Hate…
It is an entity of itself
It has but one goal
It cannot invoke reason
It seeks out any toll
It cares for no-one
It has no true face
It pleads it’s existence
It disregards the human race
This evil we have seen
As it has nowhere to hide
We can finally expose
In each of us it can hide
In every nation
In every soul
This is the true enemy
We all should begin to know
A task we must embrace
A fight we need to face
A plight of every race
A race set to your pace
Hate is a virus
It spreads so easily
It can only be stopped
By the voices of the free
By you…

Your beauty shines
Asway to a song with such ease
Like gentle ripples on a lake
As they glimmer in a breeze
Your beauty glows
With such depth of emotion
As you hold your child
Bestowing your devotion
Your beauty resounds
Over mountains and seas
Finding it’s way here
Genteelly calling to me
You are the embodiment of beauty
Your nature sublime
Your loving heart I do hold
Dear and next to mine
You are the beauty in every sunset
The beauty in every song
The beauty of a loving heart
I’ve needed for so long
You are a Beautiful Soul

Am I just a fool
To love someone like you
Though a world apart
You’re the love that grew
Am I just a fool
To think we have a bond
That I think we have a love
A friendship since found
Do you need me
Is the question I ask
I’m afraid of the answer
My fear I do mask
Then you surprise me
With a simple note
A message that you care
So eloquently wrote
You are so dear to me
A friendship you give
You were happy just to talk
And gracious to forgive
Am I just a fool
Or a dream come true
Just know my life is better
Since I found you
giancaseywords ©
I can’t understand
What brought me here
To find you
I want to understand
The forces in play
To find you
I know in my heart
That I have always
Known you
Is this just desire
Or is there a reason
I found you
I found you…
Could this be fate
This love I found
Because of you
Countless lines written
On an endless page
Because of you
How my life changed
When you entered my life
Because of you
I can’t understand
The forces I feel
Because of you
Because of you
When I look in your eyes
I see somebody
I once knew
In a past life
Or years before,
I know It was you
Can this be real
The feeling inside
That I have known you
Real or not
I won’t deny
I love you
I love you Ani….

As a season has changed
Now a chill in the air
You entered my life
As if from nowhere
From the grip of the ice
A frozen sea I was bound
I have been freed
By the Love I have found
The snows have since come
The Ice taken hold
But the depth of your warmth
Has thawed the icy cold
So this day has dawned
A new sun does slowly glow
My life has been warmed
By the love you bestow
You are the fire in my heart
A passion untold
You are all I need
The missing part of my soul
You are everything to me…

Why I feel nervous
A bit ill at ease
I can’t find the words
As the thought quickly flees
I so want to tell you
But can’t find the way
To explain how I feel
Should not be so hard to say
I think I am on a path
Certain of the thought
In an instance the words disappear
A battle forever fought
Ok..
Then the skies cleared
With the blink of your eye
I could see your true beauty
In awe, I can’t lie
This is when I fell
I knew you were to be
The one person in my life
To bring happiness to me
Now together words and thought
I so need for all to see
Why my heart and soul are one
By this Love I have for Ani

This day in my life
Is a day to remember
The day we became closer
This day in December
I write this to foretell
The day we felt whole
When you said I love you
And became a part of my soul
A part of my life
In a day, just the same
I can’t think of happiness
Without saying your name
Have I said this before
Seems a story just repeated
But the happiness you bring me
A missing part of me so needed
It’s just October
But I know this day will come
We both can see the love
That has joined us as one
giancaseywords ©
If ever you find yourself
Alone with no hope
If the skies turn dark
Finding it hard to cope
If ever you feel
There’s nowhere to go
As if drowning in sea
Being pulled down below
Please remember my Love
I will always be here
A hand to pull you up
My spirit always near
You are the beat in my heart
The reason to be
Never forget my Love
You can always call on me
My only Love
Remember the day I wrote
In a song did you sing
Only one note
The sound of our love
My only Love…

For eons wars have raged
Seems lessons never learned
“That land belongs to me”
Claims forever spurned
A master at intimidation
The weapon of the impotent
To take what’s not his
He surrounds himself with sycophants
A true leader he is not
ded, a puppeteer and a jester
His arrogance abounds
As this thorn begins to fester
No concern for the children
Every death just forgotten
He exists only to covet
A fruit brown and rotten
To the earth soon to return
Consumed by his peers
The finality of his life
All just waisted years
Like so many before
His legacy will quickly fade
Destined to disappear
Into the ashes he has made
He is Ded…
