two of my recent poems

the bridge
by tim kavi

from
my otherness
across
the
narrow ridge

brave journeys
beheld
the bridge

taking
easy
steps
accompanied
by sure
breaths

walking
across
the abyss

was more
precarious
than the
surety
of your kiss

that
brought
me across
the oceans
to your bliss

to your
sweet lips
eternally sought
from a goddess
was bought

by our
redemptive love

and in
the morning
cold
when my steps
are not so
sure

in the
birthing
forlorning
old

the stones
of your
love

will build
every day
the bridge.


"Ground of Promise"
a Poem of Spring
by Tim Kavi

freshly
plowed earth
greets
the warming
sun

steam
rises as
life digs
through
seeking birth
in the sandy
soil

even there
it has roots
dawning

the tiny
seedlings
of a new
life

placed
there
by nature's
midwife

not evident
yet
is the full
realization
of that
which is
brought forth

that which is
your loving
hands
placed it there.
