James Casey Poems

'Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest.
It's about those who came and never left your side. ...'
...

She Wasn't There

I called out to her in the docile shadows.
My moist face seemed faded, sunken, shallow.
...

Remember Me

Mother, do you remember me?
I am your son, your other son
...

The Meadow

There's a meadow near my house
That Overflows green in summer
...

The Mask

I caught a glimpse of them again, I see
The dark shadows that seem to chase
...

Harsh Rain

Misty morning's on me, I pause and turn around.
The valley lays before me standing here aground
...

The Venture

The moon rises overhead:
Bright and dramatic with promise.
...

The Pain

I hear nothing coming from all around me
I feel and reach for my knife on the shelf
...

Lost In Darkness

I' ve always considered the night my friend,
I was assuming the start of a new trend
...

Light out of Darkness

I am fragile, yet enduring as an ancient oak
Can always be soft as silk, yet hard as stone
...
