Hi Ku Cat

No Title

He opened his eyes and lo,
outside the window a world spun ,
somewhere under the sun and the constant clouds below and so,
shuffling a deck of chores, he dealt, drew the Ku of hearts first that means:
a promise made and kept,
set aside the deck 'n pulled a paper from the shelf,
titled inapropriately, to wit:

Love as a Mathematical Formula

Empirical evidence aside,
rapid breath, contented sighs
a pulse wild at the jugular
beating treble thunder,
irregular, a flush,
*sigh*
those eyes;
how do you quantify
the value of a love like this?

The world turned outside and inside as well
while he sought to solve the mystery of this
over zealous hell and found,
his definition faulty 'n
the title was'n sound.

Peering out the dusty window at the white beast without,
saved for one more summer in the shade beneath the plum,
felt the heart within him swell and he began to write,
first deleting, formula, then revising thus:

The Mathematics of Love

Love knows not gender,
nor race,
nor species or vocation, nor craft,
or anything else under the heavens
or above and between

A hundred songs now sappy played in his beleaguered brain...
'Love, love, love... doopy doo...'
...as he sought to cease the sudden sounds playing in refrain,
returning to his musing on the vagaries of love
while still chaffing at the title of the poem above,
searching for a number to assign to love,
now deemed a variable, yet,
immeasurable, intangible, etherial, re:

This soft touch within that brings a man down to his knees,
or a woman striding purposely across uncharted seas,
surely makes it some magnetic force, like gravity,
that pulls and floats a heart so effort'sly.

Does a bug love, or a bird, both happy enough
in their life upon this world, burrowing in the earth
or swooping down from perch, to eat the tiny insect
busy in the dirt, that has no love for the bird,
who loves the taste of bug.

From the heights to the depths,
each creatures born on a journey,
irregardless after that first breath
to go down to their demise, no more, and he,
indifferent, being mortal, sitting at his dusty desk
with a well used deck of chores, staring into the dark outside,
deal.

The Mister, similarly suited, that means:
Honor above all, duty; a possible flush.

By now his paper was occupied with ink,
marching 'cross the borders to pacify the white,
the mourning doves long bedded in the cedars by the creek,
night had stopped the world a'turning, inside t'was slowing down,
one more glance up to the title, another displeased frown,
drew one more sheet t'ward 'im and scribed in dying light with:

The Magnetics of Love

no wonder, the attraction,
you're the positive in my life,
and my negative
is at an all time high.

Smiling in abject pleasure for a job that's finaly done
with an economy of effort and modicum of words,
folded up his missive, put it in the box to post and then,

He closed his eyes, and slow
outside the window a word spun.

you take the reader by the hand and lead them through the creative process of this piece; what's more, you do it in such an easy-going fashion it doesn't intrude or interrupt.

of course i love it,for content as well as your story-telling skills; if you're planning on subbing this one (and you should) there are a couple of tiny edits to make first re 's and perhaps the odd comma, just to polish it till it dazzles

:heart::cattail:
 
the world has turned
and turned again
spun its way through space and round the sun
a journey filled with galaxies of words
since first i held you close and kissed your face

*tinker* Oh shit, butters :heart: Happy Anniversary

and I, anticipate the day,
waiting at the cattle pen for my kine to show,
lead her gently to green pastures,
bed her in sweet hay that night,
listen to her contented low.

Damn it I knew I was going to hear about that, but I was stuck with this image of exiting the plane at Heathrow with the walls of people hemming in passengers like ... ah forget it :eek:
ETA: I thought it was sweet, wistful, and erotic, you can see why I'm not a poet now.

I don't get blue too often,
but when I do,
I wish I had another hand
to make this old fiddle
cry the tears I can't
 
13:39 hrs, the sun is over the yardarm
the smoking lamp is lit and so is Harry
pleased as punch Ku's home
thinking
the fan would fill these sails
besides it's hot as hell
don't want to be stranded in the horse latitudes
fair seas
Oh god your metaphor love
to be slick handed with it
in that tight spot found between the veil's

*crewman shouts from offstage*
;The fan, Harry, the fan.'

reclining on a bed of vapour
riding the overnight to the coast

falling into the blue
anchored next to you
energies split
twixt ground and cloud
silver thread stretches
endless as imagination

Free falling into the blue
endless aesthetic :rolleyes: dive
into dictionary seas
lapping metaphoric stones
 
i'll lap your stones any day
*waves*

Oh precious lapidary, I love your many facets
smooth me *gasps*

ETA: Oh that damned litter box
keeps the postman out
he shouts from the blacktop,
'I'll leave it on the curb.'

here
and with you

this house
with its pebble-dashed facade
where i've spent too many years
feels less like home and more a sticky trap
with each passing day

*holds your hand*
