Hi Ku Cat

[butters]

What can I tell you about my love,
you lurkers about the pages,
friends and others,
to shape her out for you;

sweet hearted and fine tempered,
champion of the set upon,
and within a spark that matches mine

Too often do I sit here attempting to herd words

might as well try herding cats...it's just as tricksy

 

[HarryHill]

Cocktails and yawns
cattails n fur a flyin
late night bath fixture fixing
dicking about, goodnight

 

[HarryHill]

Today I blurted 'Awesomeness!'
Hill speak for, Harry finally got off his ass,
fixed that bastard bathroom faucet
inspections scheduled on the hour
for leaks and missing washcloth
lost, when tossed
fell below where all those things
wait for judgment Three bottles of mouthwash,
economy sized?
Daddy's shaving mug, now mine
long dry for want of a face
no other place
available

Harry and butters
....................
8/20 Rain finally came, looks okay out there, now that its cooled a bit i'll clear some n replant sweet peas for the fall, hope its not too late to get a bit of salad helper I started reading 'The Wizard Heir', interesting

The missus' parsnip
is green leafed sprays
of considerable girth
with no way of knowing
whats below the earth
..
had to share

 

[HarryHill]

They sail into a sea of stars,
gliding with nare a ripple
'cross black mirrored space
beneath and above

 

[butters]

heart left long ago
winging its way across the blue
soon
soon the rest will follow
one last battle being fought
the rest won
rest earned
the rewards simple
yet all encompassing
coming home

one last battle being fought

..
A naked stretch before the window,
day outside wrapped in exquisite paper n bows,
and leaning against the sash, imaginings
as ghostly hands cross sides and breast,
a head rests upon my back,
your voice asks
'How's it look out there?'
Smooth as butter baby,
smooth as butter

 

[HarryHill]

What do you do when dreams come true.
when your pallet is filled with all colors,
and canvas assailed by the force of a brush
making love to lines long sketched

then you see it,
this thing that's grown from heart and soul
then born to open a shining path
that leads to a together
spent living in that dream was forged
first we saw our words


Saturday!

 

[HarryHill]

Masturbation's failed
along with Great Value Crunchy Nuggets
(think shitty grape nuts)
but I keep shoveling and chewing
maybe they'll gum these gears
churning 'round my brain

but I keep shoveling and chewing
maybe they'll gum these gears
churning 'round my brain

four hours, nine minutes
two writes worlds apart
worries of last minute impediments -
sticks through the spokes of our wheels -
could toss us from the saddle...
all grist for your mind-gears
not trusting happiness handed on a plate

unstoppable
so let them grind, spin, whirr
but seek a higher plane
put them in a wristwatch
place it on the dresser
where their incessant motion's muted
as fingertip to fingertip
chant Ommmmmmmm



i didn't know this:

Aum actually consists of four syllables: A, U, M, and the silent syllable.

The first syllable is A, pronounced as a prolonged "awe." The sound starts at the back of your throat and you stretch it out. You will start feeling your solar plexus and chest vibrating.

The second syllable is U, pronounced as a prolonged “oo,” with the sound gradually rolling forward along your upper palate. You'll feel your throat vibrate.

The third syllable is M, pronounced as a prolonged “mmmm” with your front teeth gently touching. You will now start to feel the top of your vibrate.

The last syllable is the deep silence of the Infinite. As intelligence rises from the deep silence, you have to merge your chant from the ‘M’ to the deep silence.

Symbolically the three letters embody the divine energy (Shakti) and it’s 3 main characteristics: (1) creation, (2) preservation and (3) liberation.

As such AUM is the basic sound of the universe; so by chanting it we are symbolically and physically tuning in to that sound and acknowledging our connection to all other living beings, nature and the universe.

In addition the vibrations and rhythmic pronunciation also have a physical affect on the body by slowing down the nervous system and calming the mind similar to meditation. When the mind is relaxed, your blood pressure decreases and ultimately the health of your heart improves.

At the top of a hill
from the cool of a porch
tucked under the shade of tall spreading trees
over the faint words of hymns sung below
the sound of prayer, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooommmmmmmm...

 

[butters]

clothes in the closet
more bagged ready for charity
bed clothes changed
bin emptied, paperwork
filed
some to folders
the rest to recycling bags
and amidst all that
not a sniff of a poem

not yet
not for me
the muse is on hiatus

though yesterday it seems
almost returned on a fly's back
drawn to the scent of sawn wood
the heavy tang of leaf litter
sweat
and the fresh garnet beads
that welled when thorn kissed flesh

 

[butters]

morning kisses left hanging in the void
time to clean out yer box, mister

..
The sun comes straight through the gap above the shade
splatters on the wall outside the door
drips to the floor and crawls back across the carpet
sleeps on the window sill 'til noon
slips back out to chase the day
..
well caught the two before
all set missus O^O

A cheery day makes getting ready to work a pleasure

 

[HarryHill]

Date Night

Fairy glyphs raked on new mown lawn,
checkered quilt weighted down
with cooler, candles all around.
well set and unlit

Red wine in a jug with two Dixie cups.
bull frogs and tree critters
playing our favorite song
as we look into each others eyes.
wait to light the candles

 

[HarryHill]

Yellow and Blue look down from the wall,
baby's asleep smelling of rose and exhaustion
Three blocks away a gypsy's telling her fortune.
'you will be loved'
now aint that news?

dandles candles! looked it up, artisan candles

''date night''
how my man lifts my heart
tethered by that lifeline to his own
so it doesn't get lost in space
sails safe
always
always connected to home

change da kitty litter, sweetie

all clear!

 

[HarryHill]

Sundays here, picked up my prayer cloth,
cleaned the front door
even though visitors use the rear,
but its sheet of transparency,
marred and smudged,
caught my eye as leaves fell outside,
hummingbirds fortified for tree top roll calls
on that day they whirl away south

 

[HarryHill]

repairs completed
dust settles
time to get back to work
..
time for you to be home, Missus
coffee set to perk
cold liquids in the reefer
now where are the happies

 

[HarryHill]

and when its time to come in, sit, let the sweat dry,
sip a bit while your mind runs away,
ponder thoughts passed in labor,
chess games before the wood stove
