James Casey (11June 1940 / Binghamton, New York)

Your warm smile, gives me reason to draft this verse
That this person is compelled to jot down... pen
While you are calm, I am judging this, rehearsed
I am convinced that it's a spell and not a sin…

Darling, I am under your spell, it will last forever
Our lives are filled with heartaches and great joy
It is you that has made ecstacy of our time together
Made these years unequaled for this old schoolboy

So, yes I am enthralled, possessed by your charm
All the while you are unaware that it's crippling…
I am imprisoned and securely tied to the yard arm
By you, who I have deemed the most Bewitching…
