Simple WordA simple word –
Softly spoken,
Stilled my heart
Left me broken
A single breath –
Such destruction,
Instant death
One deduction
Goodbye.

I Don't Feel YouVerse 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...

Reverential tears:
the falling leaves
bid their trees goodbye.

Plates and bowls
gleaming dimly in the darkness:
evening coolness.

Twice the pity:
beneath the headless helmet,
a chirping cricket.

Goodbye YesterdayDid she wonder why ?
watching him in darkest sky
goodbye, with a sigh
does nothing last forever ?
did she cry today ?
watching him as he walked away
goodbye, then he asked to stay
didn't stop, a past delay
did she smile today ?
would her pain just step away
goodbye yesterday
make it last forever
did he hope today ?
did he know, if...

Your SmileIn everything I could not be
You were always there for me
In everything I would not try
Your love pushes me
Far away from you, dear
Imagine me
I'm still there walking by your side
So lean on my shoulder
I'll wrap my arms around you
Oh please don't sigh
Don't cry
Because I miss your smile
Let me wipe those tears from your eyes
I...

Come real close and ill be prayin that you stay

I Can't Stop Loving YouI cannot stop loving you
And I do not know why
It seems that every other day
You break my heart and I cry
All that I have ever wanted
Is to love you and only you
Now it seems that won't happen
Tell me what am I supposed to do
My heart longs for...

The Art of Letting Go
A leaf lets go mild,
moving down through brilliant shine~
no war, no regret.
Even parting has its joy,
when the weather knows its time.

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...

Just Buried
Farewell! Farewell!
It’s time for my closing verse.
How long the years
that bless and unkindly curse,
till in a black wagon
our sorry ars-e draggin’
we get to flat ride in a hearse
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Father, we buried you today
in a wicker casket
wherein bones of Mother lay.
Laid to...

How Did You Care To Love Someone Like MeHow did you care to love someone like me
Whose name is burdensome for you to bear
A boy whose reputation suffers glee
And whose tomorrow uncertainties scare
How did you care to love someone like Wems
Who wants to turn you a fornicatress
Whose plans have only been to use condoms
And treats you like nothing beyond mistress
How did you care...

Soft GoodbyeRoots in unseen air,
Dreams rise where no soil is bare—
Freedom lights the heart,
Growth chooses its own true way,
Dreams weave threads in silent play.

Roots unseen, yet possibility stirs. Trust quiet moments—freedom sparks growth, weaving dreams in time.

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...

Vs 1
Your things are gone, You've moved away...
I only have myself to blame...
I call your number, but it's changed...
I can't get over, all of my shame
Bridge
Why can't you please forgive me?
I just can't live without you near me!
Chorus
I'll never forget, just how much we cared...
I'll never forget, all the love we shared...
I'll never...
