Short Borrows Poems

Mountain borrows wings birds repent....

the majestic
rivers edge 
borrows
the flowing times
throughtout 
the tranquil callings
the jest 
of life's passing glances 
thee untimely
gestures are trapped
beyond cardinal numbers
above ordinary time...

Fate held, unkind to breast
amnesty's heart, thine to rest

tomorrow, unknown chattel
hope, stands alone in battle

forgiveness, yours
from love's ladle, pours

another stolen day, borrows
eyes keen, our tomorrows...

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...

books feel no pain
though tattered and torn. 

not pricked with voodoo precision,
chiseled at the gums.

my upturned smile borrows misery.
I can not turn the pages.

the patrons read my lips
"woe be gone"...

SUN’S LIGHT

The glorious sun,  
From your dazzling eyes
Its light borrows 
Plus 
All of its splendid warmth,
Don't let your eyes be saddened,     
For 
Cold and darkness will follow,
From south to north!

Go Man, Go with Liz.
That girl's got so much whizz.
Say goodbye to sorrows
as she, borrows, borrows, borrows.
Our nation's fortune waxes
the more  she cuts those  taxes.
She relishes a fight,
not she some 'Maggie Lite'.

Macron and Putin shake and shudder
Now 'tis Liz who holds the rudder....

Way Ward

We will bury our sighs and sorrows,
debts and owes, and all our borrows,
our scarlet letters all have seen.

We shall cross the bridge,
hand in hand, beyond the ridge,
leave angry tears behind.

If no one welcomes you and me,
we start afresh, clean and free,
and try again, and try again....

eyes open



eyes open
tears jerked
edges fallen
from
corners
circle me wagons
turquoise bead bender
swirling swiveling heads
counter me balanced
high-voltage death
sky lit up stars
night fell
fall on
me
own
escaped
borrows love
gutter prom kiss
naked shingles skin
rake me across
the
coals
here we are
eyes open

Full moon;
Imagined sorrows;
Left field;
Right face;
Humanity;
At the old barn;
Inside the valley throughout the streams;;
From the wheat fields;
Outside the window; 
Humanity;
Toward the skies;
A rainbow,  a Halo heaven spies;
Promises;
Down on nature world;
Humanity borrows;
Christening sorrows;

On White crimson tide
A hollow form to time

Tied to a note of labels
Tonight brought food 

Inches of deep cold borrows
Hid a feeling 

Lonely to white sunlight
She drove the edge

Lurking away the pain
Love has somehow covered

Deep in maroon marrow
Rested by the main

Another form to sight
Along angelic caves

The subtle youth of heartening
Again tore the page

In certain elements of peace...

Take within these heartfelt sorrows 
Found we see the mind that borrows
All its memories from all around
To keep the peace so safe and sound
A mesh of words held overdue
Those words they be I have no clue
A list of feelings hidden here
A place so sheltered and held so dear
I long to feel my heart content
To find the peace where it was ment
To see the stars shine high above
And know what its really like to love...

She sings along with that song
Taking the long way
She gets that 
The violin melody of a hard fought harmony
She'll find a place to belong
But eventually her roundness
Her loudness
Finds her falling out of space
And she never fits in the square pegs
She begs
Borrows, but never steals
She believes in the commandments
He isn't here anymore
Killed millenniums ago
But love lives forever
Eternally
A long hello
And she finds forgiveness
Never says goodbye...

For the faults in bathrooms
Washrooms found solutions 
To begin in body wash 
Up from face wash
To mouth wash
To make cash
But brain wash
This does push things in rush
It’s in force but with one’s wish
One borrows ones brain
To send other for one’s shopping 
If doing wash to go clean
Why not that in case of brain?
Brain washes away the whole soul 
What dirt found there to clean?
This to wash his soul that mean 
The brain rejects water for words
To get washed!...

Everyman’s dream
As calm as the sleeping stream
When lost within the ocean deep
Still has a promise to keep
The path may seem odious
A heart may climb agony’s ladder
Shinning omen may sound ominous
But a smile will drain from destiny’s udder
If today mocks us with tears
Someday we shall embrace our dears
And a smile will never be dear
The battle must be fought without fear
Tomorrow will be free from sorrows
There will be no more borrows
Someday we shall embrace our dears...

Ted suffers from 'Looseheel Ball'
It’s driving him clean up the wall
He’s got such an itch
It’s making him twitch
He’s begging the doctor to call

The medic said oh dearie me
This condition I rarely see
Your balls badly twisted
Teds scared eyes soon misted
When  doc says you need surgery

Doc bundles Ted onto the table
and borrows a knife from Aunt Mable
This won’t hurt a bit…
He gives ball a snip
Ted will rise again when he’s able
