I build you a town, hoping that my stones will be -- able to bear you.

I build you a town
My soul, it aches For those I can no longer find Now that my world darkened And my heart went blind. In Heaven, I dont want Streets of gold or lavish homes. It's a field of lost hopes and dreams, And every lost love -- in race we'd meet. The world is so bland and dull, Yet with new love I try to spread In hopes of brightening new souls And maybe, just maybe honor my dead. Death is woman who's always been impatient, Yet every day and every night, I close my eyes and softly beg, That she not curse me with her blight -- Please not now. Just one more night.

Loved one have faded, My heart aches and my tears fall, As my mind tells lies

Abandoned
The weighted blanket, I wasn't meant to carry, layer after layer, of burned threads, leaving stains where they are, for it wasn't made for my bed.

The Weighted Blanket
You left me — but your voice lingers still, a quiet echo threading the hollow of my chest. Each word, a ghost — soft as smoke, yet heavy as stones I cannot lay down. Tell me — does absence end a presence, or do the shadows of love remain, like paintings in an empty gallery, etched into the silence of who we were? In every corner of my mind, your words move like uninvited guests, rearranging memories, leaving traces where you once filled every space. If love is gone — why does my heart still tune itself to the phantom murmurs of your voice, waiting, endlessly, for a silence that heals?

The Echos You Left Behind
We live, We suffer long enough To die, Ask a man , old, Older than those streets, Who moulds memories in the footpath Of misery, 1 or a million die in his existence Still he lives, He lives In those ashes n graves And questions, Is he a boon or so unloved to be betrayed by death, His bones tremble n crack, Lifting weight of dead Dead that were ones alive To make him stop question That why he lives, Now as he narrows down His vision to embrace, He personifies His desperation to die, Be it the scarf or the pen, Or Rotting in the fen, Or bathing in the acid, Or not so happy ig placid, Be it the snakes or the worms, Or leaches in their throngs, Devouring his curse, As he crumble down his purse, He whisper to his lady, Who lives in her arcady, They will cross their paths aboon, As he still thinks, He will get his death so soon.

No Death For Oldman
We met once again, In an instance Outside of time. You reminded me You hadn't gone. And, we caught up On moments lost. You explained, It was just A misunderstanding. You had hid away, To make us all Realize How much we loved you When you were Here. The solace I felt At your return Filled me up. Just like old times. Until, you needed to go Again; Leaving me wondering, When I'll see you again. For, you had many Loved ones to visit That night; And you were the Shared connection Between us all. As I wiped the Sleep from my eye, I got ready for the day Without you. ~ Yes, my friend, my heart has enough space to carry you a thousand times, back and forth from here to there. And, I know there will be a space for me in yours when I see you then.

Back in the Garden of Love, I walk around lost -- among gravestones.

[ Back in the Garden ]
When I lay in bed It's your scent Soaked and washed over me Your arms like shelter Keeping the day away Because lord knows I've needed you More recently than before Days spanding into weeks then months Hunger screaming in my pit Dark and stormy Are the skies that hover over But when I lay You are there You are always there In memories I keep you alive But outside our bed Your body is where it's always been Back at the cemetery Where I had to say goodbye

When I lay
I know it's been a long time coming. But these days, it doesn't seem like anyone's home emotionally. Like we all took a midnight drive to clear our head. But by the time we were ready to come back, we got lost because the street lights were dead. This is a call to all our loved ones waiting anxiously by the door: Turn the lights on. We don't want to be alone anymore.

Turn the lights on
What is this longing that i feel? Is the moon getting older or everyone around me bitter? My heart is streched, into millions of pieces Unable to recognize what it's calling for. Who do i talk to, when it feels the loneliest? The house is getting cold, my feet heavy. It is creeping on me How do you help, how do you soothe when you feel the weight of the worried on your shoulders? Do you ever feel the pain of your loved ones as your own?

Sorrowth
I get you we're one I feel your essence and you feel mine and my loneliness in crowded spaces with eyes pretending to understand my thinking and my pain and my mending You get me get my anger and my shame and my torment and how everything hurts my skin tense like needles are stuck in it and tearing it apart and i think i exaggerate and i make up things in my mind to try and survive all the horrible darkness the average human knows but you tell me that it's fine it is mine I'll survive day by day step by step and that this pain is real though it can't be seen and i tell myself that i fake it but it causes me to cry at random times at night when all else is still but all is blurry inside and i get a sense of clarity when i'm hurting cause i'm trying to make sense of my reality and you get me and it's alright and we promise each other we'll be fine

Mirrored eyes
when we sit in the shade from the burning sun on the autumn afternoon, listening to the children hunt for eggs, all i can think is that you all belong here. i am the imposter, i can feel that they know. your jokes are all funny and i can't find the energy to laugh. i don't want to be here, i hate 'family lunch'es, i hate pretending to be alright when i just want to sit in my room, alone. family is always priority for me, but i cannot place them in my life. so we sit, laughing with all your loved ones, and i pretend not to feel alone.

needing 2 shots of whisky after a perfectly lovely lunch.
We often think strangers have, The upper hand in crafting our pain, We believe they feel no remorse, For their cruel deeds. But most times, It’s the ones closest to us, Who recklessly hurt us, Without feeling any guilt.

Everyday Tormentors
Everybody says I'm nothing; Yes, I'm nothing. I'm not popular, I'm not beautiful in other people's eye, They say I'm crazy, I'm horrible, I'm a loser. But  I have my family who cares for me; I only have few friends who supports me; I only have few people who truly loves me. Those "few people" are the ones who makes my day complete. Those "few people" are the ones who makes me happy and they are a gift to me. Yes, You can say I'm nothing; But I have everything.

Nothing But Everything
Aren't we the same as the ancient trilobite... That no longer exists but still found in fossil memories? For we may perish upon the face of the earth... But our essence remains in the soil in the form of tender shapes carved in the rocks of yesterday... We will be found in the hearts of all who loved us and still love us... Inspite of our surrender in the ever flowing river of time!

Fossils!
Do you ever wonder, what why, who you see? When you cast your eyes heavenly. By night when the stars shine bright. Like fires burning in the skies. Do you ever wonder who you see twinkling before your eyes? Do you ever wonder who has joined you that night? Is it a popstar, politician, inventor or wisely sage? From a time so long ago, you cannot remember their exact age. Clinging to their last song, speech or invention. Letting go, never their desire or intention. Or is it a lost loved one? Letting you know they are near. Listen very closely what do you hear? “Hi, its smee, I know you think of me all the time, I just wanted you to know, I did not go far, I am right here!” Taking in the stars is a game we all love to play. Breath in Breath out Take a minute Take Five Take a moment to feel alive Connection made now you can rest. Relieve the pressure from your chest. Sleep tight without longing. Knowing you can see your loved one again tomorrow. Brings a small amount of peace and joy, helps to dim the sorrow.

Breathe in the Stars
The person I loved once , has become one among the stars stars which are far and high shining in the sky. And the ones sitting next to me , leave with scars All those memories startled me , It felt like the cool breeze during the summer the breeze of memories which sometimes freeze my emotions while sometimes it felt relieved and peaceful like siting under the tree when the sun is high and bright or like a beautiful night under moonlight   or may be peaceful sound of the sea and it's endless sight. Sometimes I wonder why , All the loved ones goes away while the ones we care never stay, why is it when I am crestfallen Everything seems broken , and what I like the most is taken. May be it's for greater good , I guess it's about moving to adulthood. well the world becomes realistic, where people might assess you with statistics. There are things that can't be shown , things that can't be told , May be it means you are finally grown , may be it's about getting bold. well the blame is on time It alters like everyday ,which changes from morning to dawn dawn to night But unlike everyday changing from morning to night time isn't same every time. sometimes it's good sometimes bad, sometimes it makes you smile while sometimes it makes you sad. sometimes it makes you cry , sometimes it motivates you to try.

Among the Stars
I got no time for hate it’s a heavy weight I actually could, but it’s no good and even if I don’t like you I still wish you great everyone has their fate I’m too busy living my life too happy to be alive so you can leave, there is the door ’cause I’m too busy loving the ones my heart beats for. - gio, 10.04.2020

no time for hate
He was tall and strong, Didn’t say much, just watched. I would climb up the trees to get mangos, As he would watch. I would fall and he would watch. I would wait for my share of those juicy fruits, Yet I would never get any. Being the smallest I would cry, Then he would call me. Taking me to his secret stash, And letting me pick as many as I pleased. He would then smile and tell me to go play. Those were my fondest memories of him.
