Best Neither Poems


Premium Member Neither a Pauper Or a King

Neither pauper or a king

I've got nothing I could give
but for you I would live
Will you take me as I am?
(cause) I'd love to be your man

I've got nothing in this world
Got no diamonds got no pearls
Love for you to be my girl
Take my hand give it a whirl!

Chorus
I'm neither a pauper or a king
but, I've got a wedding ring
be my wife, make my heart sing
with you I've got everything (I need)

In love forever we would be
happy for eternity
What a blessing it would be
If you'd just say YES to me

Together, we can fly so high
through the endless starry sky
and just like a butterfly
our life will flutter by

Chorus
I'm neither a pauper or a king
but, I've got a wedding ring
be my wife, make my heart sing
with you I've got everything (I need)

And if you say YES to me
I'll make you so happy!
(cause) you are my destiny
Please, come set my soul free

Chorus
I'm neither a pauper or a king
but, I've got a wedding ring
be my wife, make my heart sing
with you I've got everything (I need)

Repeat chorus
Fade to zero

Premium Member Neither Shall I

- Reaching beyond the unknown,
                                      touching the possibilities
                                                         of life -

                                  No matter the outcome,
                                     or the circumstance

                  A bird, 
                      never forgets how to spread its wings
                                                            and fly . .

                      

                                       - Neither shall I -

Premium Member Neither Silent Nor Still

** Neither Silent Nor Still **

With you…by you…in you
Lord,
I never found silence
To be stillness.

With you, silence is
  elevating, escalating,
Eternally
An ongoing current — a soundless ocean
With an unending 
   Roll-over of crested waves,
But silent  with the pulse of my soul.

In silence I found
The heart  of God, but
Therein God heard 
The Voice of my devotion —
Heart to heart —
His tenderly spoken
   response
Heard within a silence
By an inner ear 
With the moving grace
Of a full embrace of utter peace,
Which was not still, but
Cradling held, a hint of floating
With a consuming quiet joy
That I turn and turn over 
   In memory to
Repeat
   the rhythm-breathing
Communion…Alleluia! Come
Alleluia, Abba!  All Love is yours —

Neither Or Nor

Here.

I will give all,
All for less,
Less.

Ask more of what?
What of the rest?
Rest to break,
Break.

Trivial with purpose,
Purpose to give,
Give more,
More for you,
You.

There.

Which Came First? the Chicken Or the Egg-Neither!

Which Came First?

The discourse has been argued many times before.
By kings, by peasants, and learned men galore…
By women, by children nearly started war!

One says, “It was the chicken, of course.” there's more.
From whence came the chicken? Will you please explain?
From the egg…  It started with an egg.  What a bore!

It is not very simple, to explain it plain.
But imagination and a prayerful soul…
Upon hearing this news could surely sustain.

Day 3 and Day 5 is when genes came alive!
Protected in caplets ‘til on earth beget.
Encased by the thousands each species should survive.

How did He do it?  Scientists, study that!
He did NOT do it with a magical hat!
Wisdom's precisions, God created and formed.

Which came first, chicken or the egg?  Tell me, you.
Believe me or not; I believe this is true.
‘Twas genes in a caplet where first chickens grew...

I think this could be.  Do you think so, too?

Neither Understood, Nor Explained

NEITHER  UNDERSTOOD, NOR EXPLAINED

I was believed  the mightiest  of all,
The thing known was only my countrymen soul.
I worked upon day and night in silence,
For my nation I had the path lf violence.

I commanded  work with me, don't  stop till you achieve,
There is only one priority  from day to eve.
I spoke whatever  I felt was right,
As my countrymen  welfare  was my sight.

Once, a winter night in days of battle,
I went out silently to see was everything  settle.
Fog and mist was all around,
It was calm but then I heard a certain  sound.

When I noticed the topic of voice was me,
So to listen, I got hidden behind the tree.
I was excited  to know their views,
Being a king I still felt on head water dews.

In a moment my heart got jerk,
They spoke something  which won't  work.
I loved my countrymen by heart,
The had uttered  something which hurt.

"He thinks him to be supreme,
Always thinks to command upon team".
Other said-"His pride is more above,
Nor countrymen has got his love".

For the first time I had such opinion,
I never thought from this vision.
Was I really of this way,
Should I go away or think here to stay?

Back to palace, I very well knew,
Tomorrow  was the last battle  of queue.
The watch striked midnight,
Somewhere in my heart dilemma was at its height.

Now I was at battle hours,
With my army I kept raising  country  towers.
We all fought with our full strength ,
Finally  my country had all boundry length.

People celebrated the victory,
All together  said I had created history.
I could hear appreciation everywhere,
But I knew many still blamed anywhere.

Within me, I knew I was correct,
Though many didn't  knew this fact.
And I like constant never thought of loss and gain,
That why they neither understood ,I nor explained.

Either Or and Neither Nor

So small are tiny peas in a pod
And how great is our gracious God
If I have faith in Him either/or,
Neither/nor will I sin anymore.

If God is my leader and fine friend
In His open arms, I will end up in;
For sure either/or love until I die;
Neither/nor will I ever ask Him why.

All of God's answers are in my soul;
To ask God questions must be my goal;
God and my soul are similar and matched
And They both are always attached.

Heaven one day is where I will end
So message to God up there I'll send
In form of friendly poem in a prayer;
Is amicable and offend would never dare.

It S Not a He, Neither a She But It

In wilderness it lives
a creature
it's not a he, neither a she but "it "

with eyes as black and wild as storm
it's coming is as if the whole area has been drowned
clouds of darkness surrounds it
deadly creatures protect it
everything dies with its presence
there's not any sign of life where it lives
not a herb, not a tree, 
neither water but only desertness
it s not a he, neither a she but a " it "

king of north, king of south
the most dangerous enemies combined their armies
but no success, neither a boy was left
no finger, no leg,
for his life, the king of south begged
but forgiving isn't in its habit
even the king was cruelly killed
it isn't a he, nor a she, but a " it "

once it sees you, there is no escape
you are its pleasure then
it will torture you till the breathe last
it will destroy your cast
even death will not come as fast
you' ll beg and it will only laugh
until it eats you and finish its task
for it isn't a he, neither a she, but it 

it existence symbolises death of happiness
fire burns all over it
with soul as dark that even satan is afraid
And eyes so wild that you'll die

head and face similar to that of deer and horse
eyes without eye balls
instead of fingers, there are snakes
mouth full of blood and mud
a face without a nose

with body of a human, height that of a gorilla
its name is forbidden to take
Amongst ghosts he is known as the dark lord
human call it " it "
if you take its name, it shall sense it
and will get to you

if somebody asks you for it, never do the mistake
of taking its name
just tell
its not a he, neither a she but it

there are rumors that it belong to the tribe of Gog and Mogs
as its eat everything that comes into its path
human, trees, walls, herbs, everything

Neither Half of Any Equation - -

Offerings all-inclusively controlled,

  consummating thirst's affectations

   eliciting truth's darkly responsive swallow

        of pretenses pseudo-poetic poison,

            flamboyantly feverish flavors from

  gingered confections to Puffer fish toxins,

   testing temperature's comfort zones

      artless surrender of lucidity's aesthetic

    yielded in winters' disenchantment - -

   discontented,     smugly wrapped

         in tissue paper sweater's passion,

    fumes of moonlit intoxication's sips

       mid earthy disillusionment ticking,

  ventured to inhale magical heady elixirs

       within fusions of distorted disdain,

 glass was neither half of any equation

   merely a containment for elusive sunrises

       and hourglass sand trickling down on

   timely castles built betwixt skies' hallucinations,

    sucking life downhill like an absentminded cool trip

         drunken in fury's quenched neurotic afterthought

Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be

NEITHER A BORROWER NOR LENDER BE

Because  lending to friend may lose you that friend:
If he cannot repay and feels indebted, his  burden is double:
How to be independent  is what  he needs to learn ;
And borrowing for myself discourages me to think of the end:
And such sloppy thinking will land me in trouble -
Thinking  there is no need to save or plan or even earn.

Love Is Neither Blurred Nor Blind,

Love is neither blurred nor blind,
It only leaves the bad and bitter behind;
And focuses on fate and the future to find
That it was not a mistake you made up your mind.

Love is neither blurred nor blind,
A coat with curative colors… not in cash but kind;
Wielding wonderful words where woes wind,
So big, bold, bright and beautiful… beatitudes bind.

Love is neither blurred nor blind
Gathering goodies, galls and gross to grind;
Round and round with red roses… a romantic rind;
Under an unbiased umbrella, unshaken umpires unwind.


Love is neither blurred nor blind,
It only leaves the bad and bitter behind;
Wielding wonderful words where woes wind,
Under an unbiased umbrella, unshaken umpires unwind.

Premium Member Arte Mayor: Neither Cricket Nor Football

ARTE MAYOR*: Neither Cricket nor Football

Is this the way to prop A-first
Sock not oval ball overhead
Slam not round ball with drumstick dead
Cut not corporate tax: the worst
Hundred millions sweat till tv burst
Swamp Super Bowl cheer-leaders' tights
The day England scorned Wales' rights*
Would arméd football rugby durst

Catch not ball in leather-gloved hand
Watch how slip-fields pluck balls from air
Out-fields brave boundaries debonair
That's what  cricket's in any land
Trumped-up charges make no A-men grand 
Nor soft base balls stop eyes grow sore
A-1 Nation must make World soar
Hail Rugby! King Twickenham brand!

Throw missile back You Quarter-Back
Take no step beyond the Red line
Referee draws to keep the front-line
Push no further than ball in pack
The Golden Rule's not to kick back
Unless you're in scrum cheek to jowl
And lick the foe if he must growl
Block those horns in grid-lock Am-track!

Curve ball's By Gad no in-swinger
Reach first base sans one lone strike
Home runs no match sixes through dike
Stop runs coming through huge bouncer
Best way to take the World over
Scrap apéd games from lean memory
Learn to play ball gentlemanly
You'll need no Vinson carrier!

*Arte Mayor (Sp. Major Art) stanzaic form, the art of Archiprest de Hita (12th-13th c.): eight syllabic lines in eight-line stanzas, rhyming abba acca.
*England beat Wales in epic match at Cardiff to win Six-Nations' Rugby 2017 Trophy; the same day the Super Bowl was watched by 125 millions on TV. If the same audience could have seen the match at Cardiff, I'd wager that would have been the very last Super Bowl event in history.

Premium Member Neither Sad Nor Happy

Be not sad the old year has gone

             Neither be happy with the coming of the new

                                          For
 
                    We all are children of mighty time
 
        Striving each year, our existence with him to renew!

The Beginning or The End
 Has become the same shade....

Lost in shadows of the Yin and Yang 
 Gray is the juice that fills my veins.....

Blessed with a Innocent Heart
 Only to Beaten... Fluttered ....Pounded.....

Sustain me according to your promise...
 And I will live....
  Do not let my hopes be dashed.....
