Joseph Giordano Poem
In the drawer
Behind all the white t-shirts
Packed away in the corner where
It is safe, I keep you.
You are hidden
No one knows you're there,
Except me.
I take you out to see your
Smiling yet depressed face.
I realize the trouble you went through
Just to make sure I live a better life
Than you did.
Here you hold your baby one last time
Before sending him off to a
Life without poverty.
He doesn't say goodbye because
He is so small and innocent.
You give him a little kiss and say
Goodbye my sweet child.
So I thank you
Sweet, sweet, lady.
I'll put you back
In that safe little place,
So that when the time comes
For me to meet you,
I will find you before
You find me.

Joseph Giordano Poem
Maybe I was meant to be alone
Just me and my saxophone
Playing wasteful nights away
Practicing all those notes everyday.
Staying home and thinking
About all the fun I’m missing
Having to study for some useless knowledge
All because I need to get into college.
Why do I have to do this on my own?
I hate being alone.
My saxophone is my life, but a curse
I can see it now: it will be me and my sax in a hearse
The mourners there wondering why I died so young
Saying I had it all and ended it with a gun.
They don’t know the life I was living
The struggle I went through everyday just sitting
Putting a knife to my wrists because I couldn’t write
Music that was to my delight.
They never knew because it was never shown
How I hated my life, how I hated being alone.
So what should I do? Someone please help me
I’m becoming depressed, insane, and just crazy
I need someone here to help guide me
Someone to motivate me and help me become free.
Maybe I’ll just say “F-it” and end my life right now
But there are too many lives that I will ruin, please god tell me how?
How do I get released from this stage of depression?
I’m just a teen and I already have so much aggression.
I’m so confused about what to do
Maybe if I just think for a while, it will come through.
Let’s see, what about the sax is so appealing?
Well, even though the sax is my curse, I love the feeling
I love the sound, and how I can take my anger out
From all the stress that is being brought about.
If it wasn’t for my sax, I would have already committed suicide
In a grave somewhere next to some wasteful talents who have died
So maybe it isn’t all that bad
Maybe I should be happy with my life and not sad.
The sax is the only guide I need in my life
So I don’t really need this depressing knife.
I have decided to keep playing until I am known
As the greatest to ever play the saxophone
And maybe one day when my sax has lost its tone
I will no longer be so utterly alone.

Joseph Giordano Poem
I want to hold you and never let you go
Put my arms around you and say "I love you so"
I want to be with you from dusk till dawn
Cause what you are is what makes my life go on
Your beauty is like a moonlight dance
So lovely and exciting and filled with romance
I just hope that I can please you
With the love from my heart that is so true
Want to know what i dream of every night?
I dream of you and I holding eachother tight
Listening to eachother as we breathe
Keeping you warm as you do the same for me
I dream of you and I lying down in the middle of a field
Looking up at the stars, naming each one, as they are revealed
Then, getting closer to you, staring into your eyes
Getting anxious and hypnotized
I then can not hold back any longer
I kiss you, you kiss me back even stronger
When our lips touch it feels as if we are in slow motion
As if time has stopped to let me show you my devotion
Our kiss is like no other kiss in the world
Everything around has suddenly been unfurled
Its amazing, something like no other
Something that can only be shared between one and their lover
But then, I slowly start to awake
And i have lost my dream, it was all fake
And now i miss you, i miss you, i miss you so much
All i can do is stay up thinkin of your soft touch
And this is how i spend, my every night, thinking of you
Is it a curse? NO, its love, something that i am going through
And it is worth it then to not fall asleep
To not watch TV or count endless sheep
So this is how I feel about my love
My angel, sent to me from above
All I have to say is "Me Encata Tu"
Which means........I love you
