Premium Member I Don't Feel You
Verse 1) You lay here beside me, but I feel so alone, Your touch don’t feel like it’s mine, just skin and bone. Every day, every year, I wonder what’s wrong, When you say you love me, but it don’t feel strong. (Chorus) I don’t feel your love, I’m reaching for more, We’re living in a house, but we’re strangers at the...

Ankahi Si Baatein-'Unspoken Words'
Kuch surkhiyon si aati hui, ret ko sametiye, Kaali ghata hai chaah rahi, roshni ko sametiye. Sametiye, sahejiye, woh pal jo kho rahe abhi, Jo tera ho na saka, uski yaadon ko sametiye. Kuch ankahi si baat hai, kuch ankahi si raat hai, Kuch gun guni si dhoop hai, kuch toofani si shaam hai. Dil kholiye, kuch boliye, sunne ko bekarar...

Imprint on the Sand of Time
–A Tribute to Michael Jackson They said you danced like thunder cracked— But your rhythm was more than blood and bone. You moved through dimensions unseen, Where silence whispered in dream-tones alone. You were no man of mere flesh and fame, But a vessel of light in a trembling frame. From moonwalks born of stardust tides, To screams that split the veil of...

Premium Member I Feel Pasts
I feel all pasts, As if they were yesterday, Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels. As if I were still two-tens and five, Rather than three-tens and two. Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth. Is today youth? How could it be when youth was then. I still feel me in your arms, And you...
