Crosstime Lovers (New Poem)

Crosstime Lovers
by Tim Kavi

jagged lines
intersections
connections
across timelines.

one is young
then old
one is from here
another is there
shadowy designs.

in the twinkling
energies
of star dust
one is shiny
one is rust.

sparkling
nanodots
quantum lives.

entangled
one thinks apart
turning alone
finds them there
still in the heart.

where is the end?
where is the start?

separated
togetherness divined
yet forever joined
crosstime lovers

are always entwined.

Sunrises of Your Love (New Poem)

Sunrises of Your Love
by Tim Kavi

kissing your lips

I never noticed
the gentle passage of time

each moment
was like a century
and every breath
was a poet's rhyme

sweet memories of our love
held us there
transfixed

we were
the history makers
we were
the sweetest of all
love's partakers

so I hope you
will remember me
and what we had

how the happy
songs
dried your tears
and made mine flow
without
being sad

so I hope you
will come visit me
from time
to time

although you
are gone now
the newest dawnings

are always
met
with my
breathing

and are
the sunshine
on the rays
across the meadow
where
the grass
glistens
with your mist

and this simply
is

the eternal sunrises
of your love.

Destiny's Shrill Calling (New Poem)

"Destiny's Shrill Calling"
bt Tim Kavi

listen to
her song
woeful cries
she comes
from many lives
past

whether
in the cloudy forest
dark night
or in the hall
of images
her fine sight

I spied

will I find
my true love
among the many?
will I find
her love at last?

Sweet Destiny

know then
that in
your heart's cry
my love
I am coming
to redeem you

but need your
returned love
to manifest
the fully revealed

so until then
you hear me
from afar

hasten
draw near me
bright
star

your heat
and destiny's purpose
runs like
a hungry woman

no longer concealed.

To a sleeping goddess (New Poem)

"To a sleeping goddess"
by Tim Kavi

sweet whispers
of lullaby
from the sea

always bring rest
in the angel's sigh
when I look
I see you sleeping!

your wings
rest by your side
and your smile
shows me
that even in dreams
you dwell
in heavenly places

when awake
your words
are always kind
and even
in your sleeping
you show
compassionate mind

you are the beautiful
one
though your culture
teaches you to deny
still there
is a devotional cry

uttered from my lips
felt from my heart
a song
a song that will not die

so sweet
stardust
in the night
the kindness adorns you
like the sheets
around you
that births you
and keeps you
warm tonight

for in the warmth
then of each other
two souls
know
it is no wonder

that your smile
is brighter
than the starry night.

Love's Eternal Recluse (New Poem)

"Love's Eternal Recluse"
by Tim Kavi

when I removed Her Veil
the goddess
was sneering at me
and when she spoke

she snarled
instead of healing me
she pulled my wounds apart
laughed at my tears
and spat at my age

why had she stood still for this?
to torture me
and mock me?

She is the woman I hoped for
the one that eludes
the goddess I seek
she has left me
ten thousand times

she says
I just want to be a friend
but she throws no crumbs
when I am hungry
for her company
I find myself alone
and that is just one day

tomorrow in loneliness
and seeking
is another
You say I Think enough

but I seek Her face
as David sought God's face
I seek the goddess
yet she is hidden
in the rocks
behind the curtain
in the Holy of Holies

Her apparel is fine

but she is
as God always hides
from the unrighteous

I am ready to mend my ways
I will be faithful to only Her
but she does not hear my song
or my worship

or my turning back

she is strong
and loved by another
even as if herself
she does not see the pain
that is coming

she remains uncovered
and hidden
while she masturbates on her bed!

this is the Goddess who dances
seductively and then lies
that she was not!

The goddess I approach in love
and adoration
who says go away
this is the Goddess
I have been seeking

but she would not
so now I have given up

the weariness
of the journey is too much
for me

now it seems
I have become
love's eternal recluse.

note: all mystics and lovers understand this, the time that all we seek has seemed to be hidden from us.--T.K.

Love Among the Ruins (New Poem)

Love Among the Ruins
by Tim Kavi

Oh Goddess

your ancient
images
lie among the ruins
many miles
from here

Hai goddess

some thought you were
shattered


your lingering
presentness
makes
your conspicuous
absence increased
by the eternal
tears

Hai goddess

others thought in love
you were tattered

your resonant songs
were still sung
in children's rhymes
and beautiful
portraits
that their mothers hung

Hai goddess

they and I sought you
like You mattered

until
one breathes
and it is
already a decade
or two
amongst memory
who cares how many years

For You live
and live
and live

and will never die

still there
in the ruins
clothed priests
of the newer traditions

thought there
is only gatherings
between your wooings

but
Hai goddess

soon you sleep no more
arise from
the ashes of slumber
I rebuild your statues

but they look
like a real woman

in the moonlight

as we love
among the ruins.
