Taste and Ear Buds Left With No Rest Till Grave

Chirping of birds on the balcony grill
Hot Darjeeling Tea with newspaper on day chill

Ringing of Temple bell on a calm early morning
Sweet delicacy melting in mouth without churning   

Thunderous lightning sound in rainy season
Chilly flakes cracking the lips wide open  

Meowing of playful cat on double bed
Sweet-N-Sour soup tingling the taste bud

Hiss of snake scaring playing poodle
Pungent sauce scouring maze of noodles

Jingle of repetitive ad between soap 
Bland as dieticians dinner of soup

Inaudible whisper of dying man nearby
Gulping Bitter medicine with closed eyes

As servant to Sound and Smell, mind has to behave 
Taste and Ear buds left with no rest till grave
