Walls Make Bad Neighbours

‘All in all we are just bricks in the wall’ deconstructed by Pink Floyd

 His 
shadow
chasing hers
under the stars
mirrored on the glass
of their frosted window.
Dim lights off , window opens
Hid are all their seesaw movements 
Oh ,at last  ! that awkward view now  gone 
But what I cannot see, I can still hear.


A light etheree...

GREAT NEIGHBOURS

Yesterday as the afternoon was coming to a close
The doorbell rang, it was Vanessa holding a beautiful rose,
For you I have just snipped it,
Still communicate, two metres apart seems fit,
Was touched, Vanessa and Neel’s, best neighbours, it shows!...

At the national picket of the unhappy
I see large crooked coins
Hoisted like placards above the irate crowd.
On the first face, I see immigrants & owls embossed,
And on the second, snakes & neighbors.
It's the coin they toss
To divine the wellspring of troubles
That every day beset this...

1. We are upstairs, rolling on a derailleur
much fun is timely prepared by fate’s chauffeur
rooms facing each other is the plasticine
the models of our contact is the icing
from her own end, she chooses my Tuxedo
and from mine, I scale her feminine ego
our adventure begins to...

The blackberry, elderberry and strawberry congregated for a meeting
The blackberry had a thorny issue
The elderberry looked down on them
The strawberry had low self esteem
This is our lot, sharing this plot
The strawberry said with a low voice
But the blackberry wanted to hedge his bets
And the elderberry...

To be. To feel.
To feel, to love,
To love. To rage,
To rage, to die
Like a good Romantic, or to sleep like this,
Ghosting about
Like a loose plastic bag
That flaps on a windy night
Under a sodium street lamp’s
Eerie all-submerging light.
O Shakespeare, pity us,
O Wilkes, O Pope,
O Voltaire, O...

My neighbours from the flat below,
Hearing the sound from my apartment,
They think that my sex life is very ardent.
Alas! I simple jump on jumping rope....

A tenant farmer strummed one note
That some would argue Chopin wrote
Neighbours heard that sound
And plowed up his ground
Monotony sure got their goat!...

...for Larry and Mary


Sun's a risin', critters stretchin,'
trailer park's a comin' to,
on my way to Mickey D's
for coffee, boy, I'm missin' you!
Papers puddlin' in the driveways,
guess we had a storm or two,
belly's grumblin', heart's a yearnin',
crusty-eyed and feelin' blue.

Windows leakin', curtains drippin',
we are sure not...

A dozen fine flats, exalting the worthy architect
but numbers 14 and 15 are proving to be dangerous coordinates
where females strangle each other to chase away oxygen.
The first displays every massive shopping as a loud orchestra,
on the wall of the second is the painted story of...

I am glad that I'm an Insomniac, 
that I'm already awake.
Waking up to the sound
of my neighbours fighting, 
I don't think I could take. 
It's really sad to hear, 
for such a young family, 
between the couple, 
there seems to be 
no harmony. 
My house...

Well...
I won't tell truth

we are the moths
of everlasting glow 

before almighty
fiery tongue 

would nail us
to the wall

we are the fume
of ashen thoughts

we won't fetch truth
nor we embrace 

the lies of world
and yes...

we will consume
our neighbours blood

their pride and joy
of who they would become

or those they...

Under a sunny divine canopy
The quaintest little village
Scattered with historic sites
Bursting with enchanted colors
Voluptuous gardens of delight
Friendly cheerful neighbors
Meander calmly without a care
Among solid stone structures
Erected with skilled masons’ care
Lending the town its charm
And regal sense of modesty
