Mona Lisa

(introduction)
Yo mona lisa, could I get a date on friday and if your busy, i
Wouldnt mind taking saturday.
(wyclef talking)
Right about now, if you are in your jeep. please turn up your radio.
If you dont have a jeep, and you have a little hooptie I still want
You to crank up your volume.
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out.
Wyclef presents the neville brothers in the house tonight.
(nevilles singing)
I know a girl, she ruled my world.
Whatever I need, she supplied.
Living in paradise.
She ruled my heart, till death do we part.
(her love was like esctasy)
*chorus*
Atleast thats how I thought it would be.
(so neville brothers what you telling me)
Atleast that how I thought it would be
(one question, what was her name)

Japanese short forms 2

window shopping
a child twists to three
mannequins in dance pause

a poultry-chasing dog
given to a friend who
ends it in his pot

what a delight
those windswept
scarlet leaves!

time really has flown
since she threw
her clock at me

another world
a librarian reads
with feet on chair

I Just Can’t Get Enough Of You

The white of fresh glistening snow
Copies your soft silken skin aglow,
Mirrored reflection of your eyes
Blaze the blue afternoon skies
Your body’s aurora’s magnetic chain
Calming holds me firmly in lover’s lane
Like a fresh blueberry honey ice-cream
I want to suck you, lick you, eat you clean,
I just can’t get enough of you'
The creative mind of the Mona Lisa
Copied your face for beauty’s teaser,
Like a drunken prince with no balance
On the highwire of love I fell no chance,
Of the billions of souls of this earth that dwell
Heaven sent me you, thankyou
Oh God I think your swell.

Tatooed Lovers

Hey Babe
How can we forget?
Those paradise days
In the city of Paris!

Seine river cruising
Eiffel tower dinner
Shows after shows!

Le Moulin Rouge
Le Crazy Horse
Le Crazy Girls
Le Femme
Le Lido de Paris
Le Paradis Latin
The great Parisian shows!

We were happy

Falcon

You soar high and from the barren sky
Watch the ants like human,
How they struggle and grab the greasy tricky life
That runs through the bony fingers.
Nothing is certain, we come like water
And go as wind.
Birds sing songs without lyrics and they fly, Man cannot fly with these feeble hands?
Thanks again my friend and your name imprint in my soul list with Omar Khayyam, Nikos Kazantsakis and his great character Zorba as same as Maxim Gorky's Makar Chudra, Loiko Zobar and Radda.
Garcia Lorca, Matsuo Basho the radical Tankist Ishikawa, Alexander Pushkin
And the miracle whistle of Zamfir!
Mysterious smile of Mona Lisa to Neil Armstrong?

*To Warren Falcon the poet!

Gentlemen's Lady

She's a gentleman's lady,
She will date, no ordinary dude.
She shops the streets of Paris, and
eats french pasteries too.
Her pallet prefers the finest wines,
as she does what she do.
She adorns her self beaitifully,
and dabs on expensive perfume.
Her duties may be fun to some.
Her client's list, a few.
Some give her flowers, others
give her forbidden titles, because
she breaks all the rules.
Oh, how she expressses herself,
to those who needs what she do.
Her name, it varies, Mona, Lisa, or June.
She's a gentleman's lady, from midnight til noon.
So what you hear about her, all may be true?
For she is trained to use her skills,
to, lure and excite you.

A Do-It-Yourself Fanatic

When you were young and beautiful
You broke my heart in two,
But I was a DIY man
And I mended it with glue!

We had a very happy life,
Our home was spic and span,
You were the ever-loving wife
Of a handsome DIY fan!

But you are old and ugly now
So I'll tell you what I'll do,
I'll make a Mona Lisa mask
And fasten it to you!

I learned my hobby long ago
And know a trick or two,
There's very little in the world
That a man like me can't do!

Hi-Fi

Slipping through the city sliding train to train
Sulking on the subway music in our brain
She and me together in the city sounds
Me and mona lisa on the underground
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Slipping through the city sliding brain to brain
Sulking on the subway listening to the train
She and me together speed through space and time
Grafitti in our eyes and music in our mind
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah

Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah

Stone alone hide the unity of the soul
Self centre chiseled in many a form
Partake the centre of the universe

Stone alone
The Sphynx upside down
Clinging to the edges of a smile
Ice frozen on the mysteries

Flirting with death
A black hand will lift
White gloved touch of

Mystery

As the wind blew away leaves
from the surface of earth
that is how my genaration will
be blow away one day,
i wonder if the great potter
will give me the privilage
of exchanging rings.
Will she be pretty as mona lisa
or ugry as my consin cici (cecilia) ?
Will i see my seeds and their seeds
simling at me maybe they would
not like me around.

Will I live this world in a natural
way or will my fellow creature
take my life? that is the mystery
i can't explain.when the time
comes will she put on the
traditional black and black?

Unrespectable

J. spinks
She no lady
One bad girl
She go crazy
Private world
I can hear the people talkin
From a million miles away
I dont care what they been thinkin
I dont care what they say
Shes unrespectable
Unrespectable
Shes so easy
Got no class
Good time baby
Love dont last
I wake up in the morning
Dont believe the things I said
I never walk the streets with you girl
I wouldnt kick you outta bed
Shes so unrespectable

On Getting Old

when i was a child
i don't really know how significant is the
mona lisa
smile, at first glance nothing in it is delicious
like a chocolate cake
or a red lollipop
or magnolia drumstick

i remember
how you snub the red wheelbarrow
what is it in a rusty wheelbarrow that stirs mankind
into deep thinking?

now things have changed
the sigh has a lot to say to the wind

the air has a heart of its own
the sea becomes a body of a woman

the moon a beautiful face

After That.

After that
the only
thing she thought

mattered was
the sunlight
coming through

the tall trees
as you and
she lay on

your backs by
the large pond
listening

to birdsong
and the wind
coming through

Mona Lisa

MONA LISA

All through the days of the week
Double-busy with my table work
I can return home little earlier, but
Have to sit with my son's homework

And if I am really free at home
My kind wife would order some jobs for me
Dusting the windows, cleaning the ceiling,
Washing the gas-stove and scrapping the sump clean

But for her duties as merely a housewife
She keeps a servant full-time on all meals basis
Just as a ‘mistress' she does only supervise
With her starched Kota sarees' crease never shuffling

Scientists make bombs but politicians use it

[LL Cool J]
Hello my name is Mr. Goodbar
I'm came to offer champagne
Later on maybe I'll tell you my real name
But for now sip your drink and be merry
And be a nice girl and sing me a cherry
Me, I'll have a Cowa-loo and milk
Cause champagne always stains my silk
You got a man? That's somethin we will talk about
He's smart enough to have ya, but dumb enough to let ya out
I like ya friendly bag your alligator shoes

They Marvel on the Serenity

They marvel on the serenity
Of Nefertiti's symmetrical coutenance

They let themselves lose
Into the enigmatic Mona Lisa

But why and why they spurn
To have a cursory glance
Into the misty eyes of Parveena! ! !

That poor pearly pear
Though snatched of its glitter, Javed,
Is yet another living
master-piece of history
Or the stark mirror of its ruthlessness.

Every droplet as it
Dances down the mother's shabby face,
Immortalizes the silent ocean of history,
Enough to disturb nefertiti's calm,

Today I Watched You Sleep

Today I watched you sleep
You looked so peaceful, a beautiful picture for my mind to keep
I wondered what heavenly dream you were having
For you had on a sweet easy smile; endearing
Watching you made my heart sing
I could almost feel it dancing
I caught myself smiling
Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw playing
I thought to myself, what a creature to behold
Always thought you a god, truth be told
Perfect brows, a well carved jaw
Lips of pure honey, God, I loved what I saw
Beautiful body, arms so strong
I could never go wrong
You felt so warm beside me, like a bottle of gin
To wake you would be a mortal sin
Like you read my mind
Your eyes slowly opened so deep and kind
I couldn't help but smile again
The look you gave me was like sunshine through the rain

The sad Castle of our little World

Our new roost a tiny room
And no table and chairs.
I sit on the bed and scribble this
While my beloved tastes a chicken broth from a teaspoon,
And she stuck in the Kingdom of her Kitchenette.
'Darling where is that miniature cheap bottle of Whiskey? .
The previous night I kept somewhere.'
She measured and gave me a small sip from the same teaspoon.
Then I grumbled; 'Oh! It's not enough my painkiller as the World still rotates.'
She kept quiet angrily.
Through the broken window panes I see the faraway floodlights in a Stadium
And I whispered to my beloved; 'I would like to play football again like younger days.'
She smiled like Mona Lisa.

* To our dearest daughter Tharindu.Inoka
We received your graduation photograph and the copies of relevant certificates today.
We are so proud of your achievement, May the winds be always at your back.
Really we missed you darling!
Merits to Kelum! One of our precious Son-in-laws who struggled the entire journey for bringing you up to this standard.
