The past is left in mourning,
the future still unknown

The present disavows them both,
not borrowed—never loaned

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

Never a borrower nor a lender be
That is my simple philosophy
But if the need you can’t resist
Borrow money from a pessimist
A positive attitude they sadly lack
So they don’t really expect it back...

The words merely borrowed,
to then juxtapose

Each Poet the debtor,
whose lender forgoes 

All lines duly tendered,
with verses inured

The beauty, the order
—new feelings assured

my car broke down
when i went out of town
i got mad and kicked the fender
i never should have took the lender
so i had it towed back to town
and then i saw that stinkin clown
and then i started to frown
it's been a long day 
so i went home to my wife
i wonder if i can continue my life....

Enticing fantasies, Love's ember,
Ensconcing dreams, Love's befriender,
Engendering hopes, Love's lender,
Enthralling desires, Love's tinder
 
Endearing charms, Love's render,
Enterprising schemes, Love's contender,
Endowing passions, Love's commender,
Enduring affections, Love's surrender....

Methinks thou doth think too much
When such is life and life is such
Neither a borrower of others rhetoric
Nor a lender of the same be
Unlock the prison of your mind 
So that you can be free
Be unconstrained of human distress
Don’t dare dwell on your transgress
Instead go ye into the desert of your heart
And let the healing fountain start...

lender lends by
expecting return   
               
That is purely a
debt owed by the
other       
if reimbursed left
nothing behind
no future dues is
there
                   
If without expecting
anything one helps
Monetary debt may be
repaid back  
But of love and kind
that can’t be
except returning
love and respect in
future...

Where there is a will, there is a way,
While the sun shines, let’s make hay.

When belly becomes a pot,
Troubles increase a lot.

Strike the iron when it is hot,
Just behave like an iron wrought.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For it loses both friend and money.

Review and renew your own policy
Plan all the time and have strategy...

The red gumball machine was full of fun
A machine that knew she was number one
Other contraptions thought they were a contender
They were certainly not said my cousin, Sam Lender.

I have had this machine since nineteen-fifty-two.
I know that’s a lie, but Sam is often a liar too.
You were not even born until fifty-six, I say.
He and the gumball machine begin to play....

you want to be respected
keep waiting
you want to lend respect
for that all are waiting

you want to be loved
keep waiting
you wish to shower love
for that all are waiting

you want to be served 
keep waiting
you want to serve
for that all are waiting

this world is for givers
not for receivers
learn to be a lender
for love, respect n service you wont have to wander...

Neither follower nor leader but HIS
Follow to borrow, lead to lend means
Both take away self-respect  
But be what you ought
Aware to be sheep, beware of wolves.

She's my only trusting alibi, 
She's my  tissue when I cry..
She's my up when down I go,
She's my high when  I'm feeling low...
She's my lender and helps me out, 
She's my soft voice when I shout..
She's my unconditional friend , 
She's my fixer and helps me mend..
Shes teacher from her I learn,She's my ice when I burn...
She's someone special guess who she is? 
Well she's my one and only sis xxx...

The Death


It will knock everyone’s door
It may be today or later
It is neither an end nor a loss
Just a change in the changing world
In death, nothing we loose and
Nothing we gain
It is just a repayment to the lender
We can dodge to a certain extent but
We cannot evade once for all
It has no affection or aversion
It will come and takes with him with just

One’s never late for tomorrow
The future may never arrive.
So live each day as if borrowed
The lender may call due our lives.
Eat, drink and be merry my friends
The feast is never guaranteed;
Love with a passion that transcends
Time and cling to it friend, take heed:
One day you’ll get old, god willing
And all we have left is the past
Those memories are fulfilling
But not without love first and last
Eternity is infinite
Love accompanies all of it....

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.

Tangled clues
with sensuous sparring;
the incense was rising from the blue moon.

It was body’s integrity,
a lender was demanding
when lust had become prodigal.

Behind the thin veil, red eyes
stared unblinkingly 
at the portrait of a nude zero.

When the light was nodding from a crown
the darkness spat on the feet
which walked on the roses.

A single thorn will not be envious
of the licking fingers.
A drop of blood will tell the truth.
