Stealing a memory

Borrowed all of these
Melodies, to write for me.
Borrowed all of this
Time, to immortalize all
Of what is now left of me....

Hope is not a strategy,
wisdom not an end
Moment to moment we live the truth
—borrowing to lend

From something old
Comes something new
A different shade 
More red than blue
From Old Labour
Borrowing
Good favour
And
A following

Borrower,
Borrowing appettite;
Increasing gradually.
Weary to live within means.
Handcap of saving culture;
Hand-to mouth disposition.
Lender connives with bailiff!

Trump Final Outcome

With Trump what will be final outcome
Probably end up becoming a bum
Borrowing to assist income taxes
Send out tweets as well as faxes
Grand total never equals its each sum.

Our olive-loving season
Sprung from mountain glory,
And I with such witchcraft,
Falter in the rugged spots.
Grace clings to us all,
Borrowing shared brilliance.

I am awake too long.
This song was never sung....

Particular Reason

Reason for doing did not find particular
Car rolled over and accident was vehicular
After begging nd also borrowing
Had experience which was harrowing
Believe in God and cease to be secular.

Cathie often borrows my t-shirts, my sweaters, and socks
But if I borrow just one of her dresses, suddenly she wants to talk
Wants to know if
It's real or a myth
As I flaunt my body with a feminine like walk...

I win you over before you know what’s happened.
Swallowing crucifies,
No one has flown this high.
I’m borrowing your own happiness.
Joy is oxygen, really.
Crown yourself the Queen of Peace.
This world is an oyster to be shucked....

since small bread crumbs stick to our fingers
we must choose a place to dispose them
where birds or ants may enjoy a bite

borrowing wisdom from the heart of God
by pausing awhile in the vibrant void
such stirrings of love arise within...

‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.’
Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3 by Shakespeare

That $100 you wanted to borrow~
Forget it, I don’t want my edge dulled!!!!!

Soon it will be twenty nineteen
and i'm yet to pay my children's school fees
i have gone a borrowing
i have become a solitary beggar
and
not a single humankind left
that heeds my plea
i will cry to my creator
my everlasting city of refuge....

Money scarcity
low circulation
high prices
High demand
More expenditures
less earned
Paid goods not delivered
The delivered not paid
Borrowing for debts
Accumulation of misfortune
death of loved ones
More crimes committed
A life of inequalities...

I’m borrowing bones.
Tell me the others are here.
The clarion call marked a lasting petal.
My eyes still flutter upon your ear.
Worlds wander into each other,
Like words in new suits.
So play your flutes.
No one has time for anything other than joy anymore....

Every lingo does evolve,
We borrow words, I'm told,
I have croissant, pizza and latte,
Pen pal in Beirut, I might say,
I live in Woollomooloo, 
Where we parrot like cockatoos,
Now it's all English vocabulary,
Evolving to send overseas,
E-languages, you see!...

Brent’s Borrowing 
Written: by Miracle Man
5/15/2024

I once had a friend whose name was Brent,
whose paycheck was always quickly misspent.
He ‘s slow in returning,
and this is concerning.
He is never fully broke, but always badly bent.

hallowed hollow of our glistening palms
heals our fellow souls on the astral plane
emitting loving radiance that calms
borrowing lustre from our central vein
transmits God’s blessings falling like light rain
likewise soles of our feet mirror cool heat 
signalling flow of grace does not deplete...

Hundred 
Roman Numeral C
A century
A dollar
The whole percent 
Ten times Ten
Ten decades
Divided by 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and himself
Makes counting easy
Is the star of borrowing in subtraction
Makes multiplication easy
100 dollars
The most money I ever saw
When I was a child
One time 100 was a war...

We take a couple of pens from work
  A blue one as well as a black
A pad of post-its too; who would know
  Anyway, someday we'll give it all back...

'Thou shalt not steal,' thunders a Voice
  Midst fire and smoke, trumpets and wonder
'100%,' comes the reply: 'We're just borrowing' 
  Without asking permission, Truth's torn asunder...

Circuitous im sure
Who doesn't save to live?
Bet on the future
To ignite drive

let me switch gears
been idling in no man's land
Unapproved though prequalified (yarr)

Time to reside
but sentinals hawk my glance
Chance must be played
In a casino loft

Human rights im sure
To free trade agreement
What about squatter's rights?
To eat and breathe...

A new language,

In your name,

You and I to talk,

No any others,

Borrowing a word,

From all the languages in the world,

A new language,

In your name,

And for you,

Not knowing any language to talk,

Silencing like a dump,

A new language in your name,

You and I to talk,

Come,come to teach you,come soon,my love!...

The silliest neighbors are getting on my nerves.
Always wanting to borrow a car or a snow blower.
Asking for money, and I wish I was kidding.
My dad said I should start asking them first.
Maybe he has a point.
But what if they say “no”
What if they stop speaking to me?
What if we stop being friends?
How will I get my stove and my husband back?...
