So few will know...

As strong as an oak

Yet able to bend

Will withstand any storm

And always defend

As soft as a petal

Of a fragrant red rose

Always there no matter

As it rains or it snows

As loud as thunder

Though quiet as a breeze

You'll find her everywhere

Like the air that we breathe

She is the rock for her children

On which they can stand

She is a single Mother

Do you now understand

My life is blessed

Knowing her so

Seeing the love

So few will ever know

My Love...

giancaseywords ©

Always...

Once I thought I knew

Once I thought I had

Once I found I had no clue

Love could hurt so bad

Never did I know

Never did I think twice

Never did I dream I'd grow

As cold and hard as ice

Always did I hope

Always did pray

Always did try to cope

And search for her every day

Always this love I keep 

Never to let go

Once it hid so deep

Forever will I show

How much I love you

giancaseywords ©

Who else...

Does she love me

She smiled and she winked

Does she love me

Yes I do think

Does she love me

We text every day

Does she love me

Never a thought I can't say

Does she love me

She hits mute while I sleep

Who else would care like this

But a Love that runs so deep

The  love of my life

giancaseywords   ©

For our Children...

Please allow me some levity 

I have but love in heart

But I tend to drift from point

With a need to impart

I tend to voice my thoughts

When the I see hypocrisy

I'll call you all out by name

As I watch them hide and flee

In what name do you proclaim

The immense atrocities 

In what script do you read

That we be swallowed by the sea

At a precipice are we

All views in every sight

Though hard to discern

Let the answer come to light

I can only implore peace

I can see thru the dust

You have the strength

This choice taken you must

For our Children...

giancaseywords  ©

A word...

A generation we hold

In every memory and thought

As we pass our knowledge

Unto our children who sought

To find an answer they must

A burden posed to every one

For eons this quest

And now it has begun

As light has been shown

Illuminated are we

Of the errors of our ways

On the lands in the seas

You cannot be afraid 

To stand and be heard

So much can be done

If only with written word

Peace

giancaseywords ©

Forever...

How can I know 

If she is the one

She warms my heart

Like the rays of the sun

How can I feel

If she loves me

She opened her heart

Allowed me to see

How will say

If it's hard to speak

I love you my dear

My legs become weak

I can say that I know

How I feel on this day

She's the love of my life

With her I will stay

Forever in Love with you

giancaseywords ©

Laying face to face...

As I look at you now

As I watch you sleep

It all becomes clear

Our love runs so deep

Even in my dreams

I know your face so well

Every nuance every curve

In my heart forever held

I can feel your heart beat

As you peacefully lay

The calm to my soul

Remains through day

Thinking of you now

My heart slows it’s pace

Falling asleep together

Laying face to face

giancaseywords ©

The journey...

Never ending this journey 

Our lives can always rearrange 

It's how we adapt to adversity

That defines how we change

Take your time always

Be cautious but also dare

To step outside the box

As life is not always fair

One step forward

Two steps back

Sometimes is the rule

There will always be a setback

Press on every day

Don't look at the past

Set your sights on the future

Stay on the chosen path

And enjoy the journey

giancaseywords ©

For you...

For you I would give

My heart and soul

For you I would walk miles

And pay every toll

For you I would seek

Every day and night

For you I would look

Till you came into sight

For you I have searched

All the skies above

For you I have pledged

My undying love

For you I will promise

To always be true

For you I will give

Everything only for you

giancaseywords ©

Waking to you...

Any day I can see

Through the shadows 

Behind me

Any night I can hear

The whispers

Of those dear

Every dawn I awake

To the beat

Your heart makes

Every dusk I can rest

With the dream

I know best

When I dream of waking to you

giancaseywords ©

Have you forgot..

A world at odds

We are witness today

As nations flex

Their might per say

Only look to history

You'll see so clear

Repetition so banal

The threat comes near

The only difference

The weapons they use

So easily drawn

At innocent people they choose

The day you woke Alexander

Please send out the call

With the dawn of  vengeance 

I weep for us all

I weep for our children

Or have you forgot your eyes

They are the our future

That you bury in lies

Incited by grandpa in the bunker

giancaseywords ©

Don't ever say...

Don't ever say

There is no way

Life will always be hard

Don't ever say

This is the day

Tomorrow will always come

Don't ever say

I can't find the way

The path leads only ahead

Never give in

To despair within

It will cloud your vision

Always look to

Those close to you

The people you love

The one thing for sure

If your rich or poor

The one who you care most

They are the reason

To always say

I will continue every day

giancaseywords ©

To love...

A rainy day it is

Skies are dark and grey

I feel foolish sometimes

Not knowing what to say

I am in love with her

No doubt I'm sure you know

To know she loves me but not in love

A big difference though

giancaseywords ©

Fate...

Never was good

At being in love

I lack the ability there of

To understand the difference

Of friendship and kindness

Thus I had never found love

My life is one

Of black or white

There is no in between 

I have not the ability

To understand the gray

This is my fate do deemed

giancaseywords ©

After all...

I should have said 

I love you

I should have said 

I'll call

I should have said

Call me

I didn't know 

After all

I never said

I need you

I never said

I'd fall

I will always say

I love you

Your the one I love

After all

giancaseywords ©

Ani...

You may be asking

Of the love I speak

You may have questions

Of the dreams I seek

You may be puzzled

By the words I say

You may not know

Of Love I pray

She is the Love of my life

She is the calm in my dreams

She is air that I breathe

She is all that she seems

I call her Ani

My Love

giancaseywords ©

Connect me please...

Thank you, please

Please connect this call

I'm stuck behind this wall

Will you tell her please

I can't find my way

I need you please say

You will answer my call

Thank you, please

Will you ease this pain

I'm without your call

Will you tell me please

I can't find my way

I need you to say

You will be my all

Thank you, please

I cant explain my call

Just need you to hear

Why I call

I can finally see

I will always need

To be with you 

giancaseywords ©

The voice...

It calls to me

With just a whisper

Guiding me forward

On the path of a drifter

A voice so familiar

But eludes my sight

Whom this voice belongs

In this dark cold night

Not able to sleep

From the constant drone

Taking me further

Away from my home

As I opened my eyes

I was on a thin line

Seems all along

This voice was mine 

The voice

giancaseywords ©

I would give...

The last coin in my shoe

I would give to you

The last crumb on my plate

I would save for you

The last mile I could walk

I would walk for you

The last word I could write

I would write to you

The last beat in my heart

Has been yours from the start

giancaseywords ©

Thru a mask I look...

Would you give me the time

To explain how I feel

Though it may take a while

It will allow me to deal

With the doubts that I have

Confusing it can be

As I navigate an ocean

Of thoughts that confuse me

Trying to isolate a thought 

While looking thru a mask

The view is distorted

Can be an arduous task

It takes the gift of writing

To compile a thought in sequence

The only way I can explain to you

Though it lacks a bit of eloquence

giancaseywords ©

Don’t Fly too high… 

Can I 

impart a bit of life

My life 

A bit of woe and strife

To much

Of a fast night life

Caused by

A child cut by a knife

Pushed on

The train that jackknifed

Saved by

The truth of this life

Don’t fly 

Too close to the rays of the sun

Your Life has only just begun

To start to get better…

giancaseywords ©

Without you...

I can live without sight

I'll find a way

I can live without sound

And the noise of the day

I can live without things

And the cost they bring

I can live without trust

And the hue of rust

I can live with pain

If it's all the same

I can live with sadness

And all its madness

I can live this life

Thru all it's strife

Only one thing is true

I can't live without you

giancaseywords ©

Always know...

It's difficult sometimes

To know how you feel

If your hiding your pain

If your smiles are real

Though distant we are

It's like you are here

With every word said

I feel you near

Please don't mistake

My confusion as such

Just always know 

I love you so much

giancaseywords ©

Together...

I’ve been on this journey

For many years

As I look at the lines in my face 

I still have no fears

As I look to the horizon

I see an endless sea

With a ship ready to sail

A destination unknown you see

We have chosen together

The path we take

As we set sail onward

To the future we make

Together 

giancaseywords ©

Do you need me...

I fear sometimes

I don't understand

The relationship

We have at hand

Am I only a friend

That's ok you see

I just get confused

If there is more you see

Please tell me you please

What do you need from me

An honest reply

Is all I need

How do I say 

Where do I start

Even in these words

A question I try to impart

Do you need me as I need you

giancaseywords ©

…For you

It may be time

As our paths do part

The road at a fork

Time for you to start

To embark on your journey

Though i am gone

I wish you the best

You need to move on

I am a hinderance

To you and your dream

Will only hold you back

Cold this may seem

From the depth of my heart

Do I choose this way

As my love for you 

Has never swayed

I can never be 

The answer to you

I see it now

Though this love is true

What would I do for love

I would do anything

That would be best for you

I would do everything

 For you

giancaseywords ©

Until you said...

The thought you have gone

Emptied my soul

A hole in my heart

Had taken it's toll

How to continue

I had not a clue

Life frozen in time

With the loss of you

As it there's no air

Gasping for breath

The light slowly faded

As I  sank to the depths

Then you said 

I love you

I remembered your love

How you helped me see

I’ll never forget

How you have changed me

giancaseywords ©

In my life...

To never be together 

Most difficult for sure

To never have you in my life

I could never endure

To navigate this maze

I must keep her in mind

Around every turn I look

And closer I will find

The happiness I sought

For most of my life

That someone could love me

A joy I can not describe

But to have you in my life

Every day so dear to me

When we talk when we laugh

Pure happiness don't you see

With you in my life

giancaseywords ©

Redemption...

The disregard of life

Thrown with every rocket

Destruction is your coin

Paid in a politician's pocket

Your rhetoric a lie

We all should relate

As you rain hate from the sky

A banner of blood do you sate

I repeat myself it seems

This earth weeps for the souls

In tombs of fresh rubble

You take with no tolls

You show no remorse

Stead an immoral swagger

As you boast the deaths

Plunged by your dagger

I beg of the youth

Our true perception

Bring forth your voices

And bring true redemption

giancaseywords ©

Anisoara,

I wish you happiness

Not for this one day

I wish that happiness

With you will always stay

I wish you joy

May any troubles go away

I would give you all this

On this Valentine's Day

With Love, Gianni

giancaseywords ©

On this day...

At a loss for words am I

Never has anyone said

They will always be here for me

Time stopped as I read

You can't know, My Love

How much this means

The depth of your heart

Endless it seems

Why you chose me 

And chose not to leave

I may never understand

As you are Devine I believe

You’re an angel sent 

A heavenly sight

As the darkness inside

Now dissolved by your light

You changed me, My Love

And I can never repay

The gift you have given

To me on this day

giancaseywords ©

A struggle it is...

I have not the ability

To quell the cacophony 

Of words that race inside

Stead I choose to be silent

To avoid the torrent 

Of thoughts that will not subside

Like an itch I can't scratch

Almost painful if you ask

The ability has become harder

Then I write in a prose

And the pain is soon gone

As thoughts coalesce in order

Then I can rest

giancaseywords ©

All I want...

I hope you find 

Your happiness

Whenever it should show

I hope you feel

The sweet caress

Of a love you should know

I hope you live

The life you need

And allow it to grow and grow

That's all I want
