Borrow My Sorrow
How magical it is to feel such a sad emotion
I need ingredients to concoct a happiness potion
Yesterday was not promised
So today I refuse to think about tomorrow
You want something from me?
Borrow my sorrow
It's like the moon blocks the sun
Eclipsed by the cold
Like frozen water we...

I went to my neighbors
To ask for a favor
And said may I borrow
Stuff I need tomorrow,
But she stopped me short
With this stunning retort:

“Do you need sugar cane
Drano for a clogged drain
Or perhaps some flour
Or did you lose power.”
I answered, “I just need…”
And she quickly agreed
Saying,...

Borrow Time
A question, a sentence all made since, 
My apologies indeed,1 to the 2,3….
Can you make time a map, 
A man a watch, watching it as a clock slide by, 
Dear fox.
Go seek out a dinner for me perhaps a dinner for three, 
Cause what I...

Can I Borrow,
Do You Have,
Can You Spare?
Written: by Tom Wright

I’m tired of others looking at me as their bank,
When I’m just a small fish in one big ole fish tank;

They never take advice, just stuff, mostly money,
Casting gloom on my day, and making theirs sunny;

They...

Can I Borrow Your Wings So I Can Fly
The weight of the world is on me and I want to hide
Hover in love and feel peace when I glide
I’m so low I cant even see the bottom floor
I need your help to get out so I can soar

Can I borrow your wings so...

Beg, Steal, Or Borrow
Beg, Steal, or Borrow


What if rain nears?
Would Heaven’s tears sting less
The tender fears of parting,
Or burn, unending, until death re-unites?
I would borrow, beg, and steal
For the spark your eyes reveal.
In my darkness, there is light.

What if snow blinds?
Would biting north-winds surcease
My sorrow, or, ghost-like, enshrine...

Bed, Borrow and Steel
What heart have I to show to you?--
[This feckless Autumn night]
I failed to sing a song that's new:
My heart was always trite

I don't know what I'm doing here
Or, why I dream of lust
My mind has been a Home for Fear
Its gears are plagued with rust

When...

Miracle man

I often lose tools through friends who hijack,
so if you borrow my tools please bring them back.

Missing tools can create a hardship when tasking,
and causes me, the embarrassment of asking.

Some must think age is a synonym for fool,
people I hire,(often...

Never count money not held in your hand,
and never stand good for the debts of a friend;
For some never learn though they grow old and feeble.
It pays to use caution when dealing with people....

To follow you from place to place might be simply wrong
