Casey Gochnour Poems

I’m having trouble just going on,
My body’s here, but my mind’s gone.
I step forward to the hole in the ground,
Then move back to the spot I’m forever bound.
...

Oh she sits near me once more at work,
How she catches my eye and manages a smirk.
Capturing my spirit, my being in her guise,
While she stares into the window of my soul: my eyes.
...

Skin so distant, bodies far apart,
Suppose I should get used to this.
Though never far from my heart,
Your body is oh so far from mine.
...

And as I continue to walk down this broken road,
I won’t forget what was lost.
It’s like I’m moving without breathing,
Life goes on, but at what cost?
...

Oh how you sing such sweet melodies to my ear,
No other sound rings in so clear.
When you sang, you sang for me,
You sang to my face so I could see.
...

Hannah, I'm sorry I've been gone so long,
But I'm here, I'm back, now listen to this song.
I write these words, these lyrics for you once more,
Only for you, the one woman I love and adore.
...

The sky is cloudy overhead, the sun can't be seen,
The screen itself looks to be a depressing scene.
The ground has dirty slush, the wind is cold,
You're starting to realize that you're getting old.
...

Driving down the street of my long lost past,
Past the streets of memories that wouldn’t last,
Last turn on the right, and it had the name of her,
Her now-ended street.
...

Step by step, softly crunching leaves,
Side by side, lightly brushing sleeves.
Vines tangled left and right,
Branches covering light from sight.
...

Constantly moving throughout my mind,
Since our lives keep going, not intertwined,
But I know I’ll see you around again,
And continue to be the envy of men.
...
