    About this ebook

    Joe Cacciotti began writing poetry when he was seventeen years old. He found that sometimes when thoughts are written into words, magic happens. Says Joe, "I'm not talking about genies popping out of bottles but how I am able to see things more clearly. How beautiful this world truly is!"


    Joe tells of being shy as a young man a

      “Breath – and I”: Dickinson, Keats, & the Lifted Gaze

      Jan 1, 2025

      Days, weeks, months, I stopped counting, unable to take a deep breath. The kind you don’t notice till it’s gone. The kind that says, yes, the next rung of air is there to step to. A breath like you’re thinking of what comes next, and it comes. * It’s

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti

      Poems for the Heart, Volume II - Joseph J Cacciotti

      DEDICATION

      To Diane, with love.

      SECTION I

      BEING ALONE

      BEING ALONE

      We all have felt the sting of being alone, without anyone to hold on to for hope or inspiration. Whether we want to admit it or not, we all need someone sometime. I know this because I have been there, and I know the emptiness of BEING ALONE.

      I encourage finding your own personal creativity. Writing is therapeutic. I have included a few of my poems in this presentation to hopefully, inspire you never to give up.

      I believe there is someone out there for everybody. One only needs the patience to keep on looking … and never give up.

      —Joe

      LONELY

      Sitting here on the step

      The night is dark and cold

      Frost telling me to go inside

      But I can’t.

      There is no one I know No money I own.

      I am lonely.

      TELL ME WHY

      Tell me why we have to grow older

      And why time goes by so fast.

      Tell me why some days grow bolder

      And why everything good doesn’t last.

      Please tell me why.

      Or maybe

      You can’t.

      HOPING

      I’m sitting here alone, like always.

      And like always

      Reminiscing the past

      When I was not alone

      I was happy

      I have so many memories

      Locked up inside of me

      And these memories

      Are the only thing

      That keeps me going

      Cause maybe someday

      They will return.

      A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

      As you lit the candle on the table,

      I watched the glowing light

      Bounce off your face.

      It was the loveliest sight

      I had seen in such a long time.

      Your brown eyes were glowing

      Like the stars in the sky.

      Your hair, so beautiful and curly, sparkled.

      And when you smiled,

      It hit me in such a strange way.

      A way in which it felt like

      Butterflies were fluttering inside my stomach.

      For some reason, my heart

      Felt like a magnet,

      And your smile was drawing me to you.

      I realized how very lucky I was

      To have you by my side.

      Today, I can’t stop thinking about you

      Because the angel I took out last night

      Is the angel in my heart tonight.

      I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU

      Every time I tried to tell you,

      The words would never come out.

      Even though you knew how I felt,

      I knew you were waiting to hear me say

      Those words I should have told you.

      I took it for granted you would always be here,

      So I never gave it much thought.

      Now I regret not saying

      What I should have told you

      From the start.

      Yesterday you were always there

      Through thick and thin.

      No matter what problems we
