James Casey Poems

Waiting For Death

A knock sounds at my door, In breathless anticipation
I offer a brief prayer as I cross the floor
...

Death Of A Poet

He sits in this room, pen and paper at hand,
Afraid that his poems are nothing but bland.
...

Good Better Best
Never let it rest
Until the good is better
...

Waterfall

I've watched a raging waterfall,
Roaring down a mountain side.
...

Rest My Brothers

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
...

1000 Kisses

A thousand kisses, I promise to you
With all my love, multiplied by two
...

Building Walls

We build these walls for our protection
Then stack them high in all directions
...

Run Away

Today was a time to run away, run away from pain
My life is such a mess, doing this is such a drain
...

Sail Away With Me

Come sail away with me on the ocean tide
We'll man those sails side by side
...

The Day American Innocence Died

This parade wandered aimlessly through city streets
People watch and strain to see the man they came to greet
...
