Rhyme of the Lonely Smoker

The lonely smoker
hums a melody
as the rings of smoke
beat a macabre rhythm.
Don't expect it to be a melody
for the wind blows ashes
onto his lonely little nose.

The lonely smoker
strides along with the
brown long cigarette
like a flute or
perhaps a walking stick.
Don't assert your pities
for he rules his own world.

The lonely smoker
forms the clouds
that rain the sweet monsoons
with the LED lightening
and the controlled thunders.
Don't blame the rains
for scorpions have no king.

The lonely smoker
sits by the full moon
and listens to the nonsense parables
while the sun dances
over the kingdom of Kaveri.
Don't blame his lethargy
for the full moon is a misnomer

Big Pink Apartment and the Lullaby of a Staggered Mind

i have a throat infection
can't sing a lullaby for you dear

wheels turning in sync
on a distant lonely road
its a pathetic day my son
with so less light
and so high sorrow
here i cook a soup
for you with green grass
and the sand from the Arabian Sea
'cause you have a throat infection

white crows walking around
and eagles jogging
everybody have turned
health conscious and
i can't smoke my
white little cigarette
'cause i have a throat infection

have boiled potato
on my table and
am coding an oop for
growing raw tomato.
Oh, there seems to be a bug my dear
i can't make this sparrow sing
seems sparrow has threat infection!

Dear, this life is so colorful
with different shades of
white, black and gray!
and i can't really make
out the difference
between potato and tomato
'cause i have a throat infection

here i see the big
pink apartment atop
the green lame trees
and you riff like a humming bird
we do an all instrumental on G+
now we do an all instrumental
'cause i have a throat infection
and can't sing a lullaby for you
