Breath is Coming (New Poem)
Breath is Coming.
by Tim Kavi
breath
the pneuma
to dead Earth
is coming
like the approaching
horsemen
across the meadow
of winter
riding swiftly
not destroying
but giving life
the first breath
of spring
arrives
after the winter
she brings hope
and promise
of a love
that is
new life
tending to me
like a gardener
of love
her lips are red
her smile wide
and white
her eyes
reflect
the graceful
movements
of her certain
riding
and in her arms
I grow like a plant
with arms
outstretched
to the sun
of her
arriving.

Shadows on the Wall (Are Dancing!) New Poem - with Poet's Afterword
Shadows on the Wall
(Are Dancing!)
by Tim Kavi
held there
transfixed
bound
like Prometheus
no ground
of being
except what they
make come to light
and seem to say
glorious images
all human truth
knowledge grows
lively in youth
blades of grass
representing as else
playing symbols
in the mind of self
representing
concentrating
only what is seen
draws nothing
in eternal sheen
I see them there
shadowed objects
some knave
trickery hands
move in light's grave
their beauty
fascinates
captivates
makes me crave
another wave
all seems right
orderly
referentially
depicted
my mind bends
to reality's
shifted
blends
crashing
crushing
oppression
false beliefs
lead to
depression
utterances
in the night
deafened ears
blinded sight
yet I crave
for what the
shadows say to me
play to me
in the cave
for all is
orderly
predictable
nice
without uncertainty's
spice
but what is
this?
but a kiss
of chaos
in the scene
something
is moving
bending
blending
is grooving
in the putrid
stench
pungent dead
air
the shadows
have started
dancing
no longer appear
to be what
they once said
freedom
is alive
in a new light
I see
something new
at the mouth
of the cave
shadows
are dancing
now
I hear?
them behind
me
moving
out of frame
no longer my
reference
can I blame
I want to
rise up and
join them
but this
body
has me chained
my Spirit
starts tapping
my soul
is clapping
as I see
what makes
the dancing
it is the
love
of you and me.
A reference to Plato's allegory of the cave with a Kavi mix; here, Love is transcendent, meanwhile I am bound like all of you, waiting for someone (the Goddess?) to say: loose him and let him go.--TK

Bleeding Snow (Repost from 2008) W/ Poet's Afterword
Bleeding Snow
by Tim Kavi
like tears
in the
bleeding snow
cries
of the oppressed
have come
undressed
before all
the world
superpowers
wonder
at what
fate has
unfurled
everywhere
the small
the least
and unknown
are hurled
towards the
lands of
unfulfilled hope
they walk
arm in arm
hearts bound
by a strong rope
of freedom's cause
to the place
where chains
are tossed
and no one's
dreams are lost
freed from
tyranny's fraud
walking ones
persist
in long time
you will be kissed
if by none
except those
that follow
never forgotten
our futures secure
only by what
it has cost.

angel in white (new poem)
angel in white
by Tim Kavi
gentle dusting
outcroppings covered
in Wintry delight
I see the clouds
thick and heavy
your love is full
of light
On a special
Christmas Night
kisses flowed to
an angel in white
she came
on a Winter's wing
glistening
pretty sight
Goddess of Winter
your warm
flakes fell
from heaven
covering us
all in a special
devotion
divine invite
wisdom
love
peace and joy
rush to you
swiftly
we take flight
enjoying
the words
from your Wintry
scene
we embrace
your kisses
in the warm
glow
of cherished sight.

Longing For You (New Poem)
Longing For You
by Tim Kavi
In my longing for you
I hear my own sighs
my woeful realization
reflected in those
sad green eyes
In my longing for you
I think I'm ill fated
arrived too late to know
Found I'm out dated
In my longing for you
I thought I'm going places
so lost and alone
in a sea of Asian faces
they all look at me
Can't you see
I'm the only one here
so suffering
let me be
In my longing for you
there is no saving
In my hungry heart
only a craving
for a love to be found
so I am turning
to the sacred ground
of meeting
and I am burning
but I cannot see you
behind the tears
of green eyes
in the distance
sleepless night
I think I see
the discovery of my sight
green eyes
full of light
you are approaching
in meeting
cosmic You.

Summer of Cold (New Poem)
Summer of Cold
by Tim Kavi
Oh Majestic One!
We are clothed
in majesty
under the sprinkling rays
of a Winter's sun
You are there
giving life to everyone
Oh Goddess!
in the countryside
we are covered
under a patchwork quilt
made warm
by your love
there
they and I
are tucked
under your wings
where we
yearn for freedom
they think
they will win it
under the sites
of a gun
but I know
those ways
of discontentment
are never done
renew our hearts
sow our faith
break up
the hard icy ground
in our poverty
we are made rich
in those days
of dying harvest
rotting in the fields
there is decay
yet no dearth
of Your Love
in the sweet Earth
so we know
things are not
as they appear
until turning to you
instructed
we wait
and hear
change is coming
in Your love
we are already free
but those
waves of discontent
say to many
follow me
Yet I will cling
to your regal robe
daring to look
in your eyes
seeing history
unfold
until there is
centered certainty
in the people's cries
taken to flight
as new flags
are unfurled
we see the sight
we have each other
in a blindfold
Sister
justice
where will
it be told?
Sweet wife
of compassion
don't punish
us for our woes
just hug us
as we return
in your love
a knowledge grows
to be freed
in dialogue
from death
to life
from contentment
to strife
from suffering
to peace.

Song of the Ocean, She Sings (New Poem)
Song of the Ocean, She Sings
by Tim Kavi
to the ocean
when your song
of released passion
warmed the mountainous
nights
to the Universe
when your singing songs
reached the ears
of God
God heard
your pretty voice
to the Valley
where bones
came to life
at such utterances
as this
I knew
you were the Goddess
to the mountain
where many tried
to scale up
but failed
and were jailed
because they knew not
how to kiss?
Your thick red lips
your darting eyes
your scepter
your bridal sighs
I was the lucky one
that ascended to your hips
with a song that climbed to your lips
dripping with love
and adoration
yet tasting like wine
I saw your Goddess laugh
and when the face
did shine
it was the temple
lights
where I saw
your statue divine
in the smile of you
I knew
that many kisses
and hugs were due
as the dew descended
there was the whispering
wind
a quiet voice
said Follow Me.

Remember (New Poem)
Remember
by Tim Kavi
the speaking
Goddess said
remember you
are my love
I am your bread!
I said:
how can I forget ?
you are like the rain
to the desert
the snow to the river
the wind to the long
lost sail
and the love
to the lovelost seeker
in the wind I hear
your words
in my soul
my obligation
to love you
with my heart
mind
body and soul
to look you
in the eyes
and see your Goddess
Nature
is to only
quake in holy fear
at the arising
and overpowering
love
that has come
to set me free.

cubeland (new poem)
cubeland
by tim kavi
cubeland
lost connections
but I am
still there
intersecting lines
perfectly squared
the secrets of the heart
are bared
until calling
I hear your voice
across all dimensions
calling in 5 5 5
there is only
perfection
in your heart beating
love
bending time
each fading light
is a different color
scheme
like Rubik's Cube
the search
for solutions
in your eyes
did gleam
but spoken
once
twice
in a dream
I know I am in cubeland
your finest design
happy to be
held there
in the real
in the tangible
shape of things
to come
I am made whole
in your love.

Saptashringa Garh (new poem)
Saptashringa Garh
by Tim Kavi
Love in the cosmic Universe everywhere
gentle clouds and nebulas
of fleeting moments
in purpose
crinkled
stardust
on distant suns
evil possessed
treasures of the people
Bhagawati
reached by the power
of your love
basked in the warmth of your arms
chastened by kind
words to be
brought to the obedient
temple of reckoning
you are found even
here
light years away
your love reaches
your kiss embraces
cannot hide from it
searching
the entire universe
contained in every atom
experienced in the
smallest nanoseconds
found in a drop of oceans
there and here
and in flowing
teardrops
on the moisture
of rain
on a rose
brought closer to
a celestial pose
there was only
a response
to the calling
of all that
You are
there is nothing
left but to adore
you
to find you
to seek your
face in each dawning
to stand free
in your affirming
power
of the temple
and breeze
of your redeeming
call.

The Seeing (new poem)
The Seeing
by Tim Kavi
in gentleness of whispers
in shouts of revelation
the visiting goddess
brought herself
to the valleys of purpose
in the night
there is always
cosmic light
behind the doors
marked daring
there was certainly
a blind devotee
staring
and in the songs
a fruit of devotion
was doting
and caring
such things as this
were wondering
wooing
and moving
until he saw her
again
she was there
for the revealing
of all that was needed
your love
completes me
he said
your songs
greet me
she said
and that was
the end of night.

Burning Words (new Poem)
Burning Words
by Tim Kavi
burning words
drunken debauchery
filled the course of the wild
wood
where damsels wept
looking for love
minstrels played
poets spoke
but there was
for comedians
no joke
a shivering wind
ice storm of shit
hearts had grown cold
there was only a wee
chance of hope
and it seemed to be
getting old
somehow
creeping through the fog
there was yet
a great reckoning
a call to meeting
for the purposed
onslaught
to see each other
and love
what time
had forgot
but with the burning
word
the rebuke was square
let person to person
become heart to heart
secrets made bare
then they will
say God was among us
and let us pray
until the strength
of humanity's rebirth
brought them
to a return of
Sacred Earth
but then and only then
when hearts sow love
and community
is the crop
then there is
blessing in every drop
away from this
existential slop.
poet's note: a different kind of poem, hearkens to yesteryear.
a return to the madness of the prophet. --TK

Sounds of the Revealed Word (new poem)
Sounds of the Revealed Word
by Tim Kavi
caressing You
in the moonlit night
my incense
offering rose from
the altars
addressing you
there was only
a sacred word
binding us to
each other
dancing in the firelight
the logs crackled
but still gave out heat
burning coals
on my lips
you were the night's
fire
sweet sounds
of music
sounded afar off
but drew near
in your kisses
a symphony
I did hear
and when the morning
arose from the mist
the seashore
beckoned
and I saw the
word there
still written
in the sand
love.

soft eyes (new poem)
by Tim Kavi
soft eyes
your sweet lingering
ways
are soothing
paths to
a great everlasting
kiss
that breathes
out
enlightenment
your confident speech
fills my universe
with warm sighs
and in the blanket covering both of us
there is no disguise
of your sweet
soft eyes
and in the cosmic replies
there is always
the music
of a thousand
seeking searching
ways to see
and to know love
if one just looks
if one just is
and dares to let
her light shine
there is beaming
truth so wise
always behind
those beautiful
soft eyes.
Poet's Suggestion: If you liked this poem, there is another poem on this blog, just about a woman's eyes. Click Here. Afterword: This poem is about a shy woman (stanza 7) hence the tentative photo, but still the endearing soft eyes.

Lu Xun Park (blog entry)
Yesterday was the Chinese Holiday, Founder's Day. I spent the day at Lu Xun park in Shanghai. It was raining slightly part of the day, but it did not dampen spirits. Everywhere there was young and old strolling, singing, dancing, playing badminton, playing Chinese ancient musical instruments, or just chatting at the park.
The park is a memorial that commemorates the work of the great Chinese writer, Lu Xun. Lu Xun's important work moved Chinese literature from the time of imperialism to the birth of a new society.
The park includes the actual house where he lived, and has been preserved pretty much exactly as he left it when he passed away. Being at the park and reflecting upon this famous writer's life and work was very inspirational.
Last year, Penguin Classics published a special edition of Lu Xun's writing. Time magazine called it the most important Penguin Classic ever published. You can get it from Amazon in paper form or for your Kindle. Here's the link at Amazon.

presence (reposted poem) to all my friends: new and old
presence (a repost)
(to all my friends, new and old, especially the new ones)
by Tim Kavi
dancing beings
find each other
across many
lifetimes again
and again
why do they
find each other
sharpen each other
recoqnize each other
at such a time as then?
some flee again
as in great flight
some struggle
potential clashes
in a great fight
others turn softly
yet in might
urgency
heart to heart
there is a turning
a yearning
to know all
about the One
that you see
for the first time
there is a calling
to know
a setting sun
in the glance
of smiles
as the night
of mystery is begun
revealing
each other
taught by experience
what this life
might be
but when
the seeking ones
find each other
there is a shining oneness
that lights
the unconscious
night
shadows play
until real is seen
and at last
in dialogical meeting
a You is glimpsed
a Holy Presence
You are the
chrysalis emerged
in the glistening
mutual love
of You and me.

How Creative those Dreaded Pirates Are!
How Creative those Dreaded Pirates Are!
it has now preceded all references to authors as dreaded pirates! hmmmmm
what whimsical mayhem. Still if I were one o f those authors, and yes some of my books are in the feed...being referred to as a pirate isnt so good.
I shall fix that feed shortly....even though I am too busy being a dreaded pirate to mess with the work of dumb f***s like this!
Oh, and while I am speaking of such things. Someone also hacked some of my original articles that I had published on EZine Articles...and reposted them on their own web sites without permission and so as to draw traffic to their websites. That was easily remedied because they were on blogs that were on Google servers. Google happily warned them of their copyright violations and removed the content. YAY ! The dreaded pirate won that round! To all aspiring article writers, write your own stuff!

Ma Durga’s Eyes
by Tim Kavi
Ma Durga’s Eyes
have over all time
cried thousands of cries
and uttered thousands of sighs
but none are more beautiful than my love's

her eyes have lit a thousand ships
home to harbor
have touched my lips
across many trips
her eyes are so wise.

My love's eyes
are Ma Durga’s Eyes
her heart so true
that the eyes are all telling
of her many stories
from the countryside are yelling
out of the rocks and hills
the majestic spills
of water cascading down the falls
while the rest of the world waits in their alls
we hear the love in her calls.
Ma Durga’s Eyes of my love
of yesteryear and then
I knew them before
somehow
on another shore
but when I saw them again
her Ma Durga’s Eyes were different than then
the majestic spills
of water cascading down the falls
while the rest of the world waits in their alls
we hear the love in her calls.

she is ever present in the wind
against the wind
she stands still
her eyes are so wise.
Ma Durga’s Eyes
I need you so
to them I always go
to see the world
and each other.
Ma Durga’s Eyes through history
tell many stories
they begin and end with my lovely love.
and they touch my heart so
where the Himalayan winds blow
and the currents of Ganges do flow
she is ever present in the wind
against the wind
she stands still
her eyes are so wise.
Ma Durga’s Eyes
I need you so
to them I always go

China, she is sleeping (new poem)
China, she is sleeping
by Tim Kavi
lovely my dear
she lies sleeping
I hear the music of China
in her beating heart
and when the sun rises
her love guides my
daily start
and when she walks
her graceful steps
alight
like all the goddesses
in stellar flight
but when she smiles
it is always
approving
in her gentle
loving
love is
proving
to be the essence
of all she is
Chinese woman
appearing.

you are goddess there (new poem)
you are goddess there
by Tim Kavi
you are?
goddess there
existing
in flight
brought to Earth
in shining light
gentle breeze
fragrance sweet
turning to see
I saw a glimpse
at second sight
speeding
through space
and time
my eyes cannot
focus
to understand
revelations
of you
my heart
seeks you
in a love
that is not hollow
but full
and living
yet I cannot follow
waiting for you
to swim in you
join in your stream
I awoke
bathed in the sun
at the beach
I thought a dream
but I see you
beckoning
I want to meet you
there will
be a reckoning
Goddess
I know you are
there
calling me
I am yearning
in you
the response
of the one
not yet free.

I Saw a Woman (new poem)
"I Saw a Woman"
by Tim Kavi
I saw a woman
she was standing
in a clearing
she was very beautiful
I got closer
she was You.
we kissed
and Nature
was silent
she wrapped her legs around me
and jumped into my arms
singing whispers
were full
of love's calls
when I looked again
I saw an angel
her wings spread
in flight
she said
I will meet you
here again
tomorrow night.

sea breeze (new poem)
by Tim Kavi
sea breeze
gentle rose fragrance
goddess gowns
dance in soft caress
midnight romance
her smile
said to approach
her
I moved quickly
it might be the only
and last chance
sweet Chinese eyes
lapped in starlight
shone in her love
she sighed
and the waves crashed
her gown flapped
in the breeze
I beheld her beauty
I turned to kiss her
and it was your smile that met
my lips.

the World is Flat (new poem)
"The World is Flat"
by Tim Kavi
your mountains
reach to the heavens
seas lap
at your shores
rivers flow from the mountains
there is rare earth
in your stores
trees and jungles grow lush
fresh and green
where the water fell like rain
on your great navel
a natural scene
kissing across
all longitudes and latitudes
beauty I mean
the Earth is flat
where I painted it
on your cute belly
with my kisses
where Nature is revealed
kisses grew
on the globe's
depictions
your sweet flat
belly
where the world
is seen.

Gentle Hands (New Poem) with Poet comment
Gentle Hands
by Li Jili 李吉利 (Chinese Pen Name for Tim Kavi)
A poem that celebrates the work of Artist 冯涛
gentle hands
tested and found true
rode wings
of feathered friends
in view
gentle hands
sculpted lines
flowers
no darkness
never night
but in Summer's sun
so bright
gentle hands
with promise
drew
sketched
painted
inspired
by family's love
we too
gentle hands
breezes
of inspiration
birds flew in sky
landed on branches
ducks and other
fowl played
nearby
gentle hands
we came from afar
paid homage to
the creatures
who swam
and did fly
and saw
Nature's beauty
from 冯涛
gentle hands
so greatly seen
so near
from the artist
my family knew
manifested
in power and grace
they do appear.
Poet's Note: This is a poem celebrating the work of Chinese artist, 冯涛. Here my name is Li Jili which is my Chinese pen name. I recently had the pleasure of visiting his home and watching him work in Shandong Province.

Departing Winds (new poem)
Departing Winds
by Tim Kavi
departing winds
carry the silent sounds
of captured stories
in the gliding winds
as eagle's wings
are spread
I wont tell their secrets
but will respect
the dead memories
that can no longer hurt
them
as they suffered
in their own mind's truth
what a wasted youth
of their seeking
shattered young ones
battered old ones too
beneath my flight
was the wasteland
of unconscious night
made present
in their sighing
the eagle lit
with healing branches
in its beak
if I could only speak
knowing there is sorrow
but flying
I will go and come back
the eagle
says
to heal more of you
tomorrow.

Spring Arrival (new poem)
Spring Arrival
by Tim Kavi
you are the bird
outside my window
that sings
you are the snow
that melting
the river brings
you are everything
that arises
in the turning
of the new
you are the living
words
that love surprises
it is better
to be in your arms
and call them home
than anywhere
it is better
to be kissing
your lips
eye to eye
hair to hair
for your love
and sweet growing
purpose
has brought
me to you
Spring Arrival.

joint expression (new poem)
joint expression
by Tim Kavi
our joint expression
is like brick and mortar
built on the wall
of each other
until the one wall is
forever and every location
made eternal and strong
our joint expression
unfolds like a constant river
that flows
from the mountains
to the mighty oceans
This composed life
and love
is majestic and formed
by you and me
In our love
our joint expression folds
like a sculpture
of fine marbled
existence
within fine lines
and a shape
there is my face
and yours
that can only cause awe
and reverence
for each other
In our love
our joint expression
is the sound of two voices
each with a distinct message
but one central theme
In our love
our joint expression
is the sound of winged eagles
floating across
an ocean
of sound
resting in the
comingled nest
In our love
our joint expression
is a whisper
followed by a mighty shout
of both planes
of being and existence
In our love
our joint expression
is happy song
that moves listeners
to dancing hearts
and tapping feet
In our love
our joint expression
is so interwoven
that two become
so enfolded
that I cannot tell where You
begin
nor where I end
for we are one
In our love.

Repentance of Love (new poem)
"Repentance of Love"
by Tim Kavi
when standing
on the rock of certainty
mistakes fled
into purpose
they always do
sneak into
things
until lost meaning
was the only song
being sung
it was just a moment
but a long one
that seemed
like an eternity
of losing one's
centered being
knock down punch
breathing
sucking air
like a collapsed lung
filled with murky
dusty
heavy smothering
seeing
where there was
the faith
to see something
beyond this
captured
only for those
who dared
in courage's kiss
knowing the feeling
could come back
in a
repentance of love.

Heal Each Other (New poem)
he"Heal Each Other"
by Tim Kavi
and in the gleam of the madness eye
there is a long table
of eternal recurrence
that has no end
and no soulful sleeping
for the Earth has shook
but even there
is a between
transfixed
as I see my suffering
brother
friend
mother
Gaia
knows no earthlike song
in the collapsing
chaos
of poisoned
darkened
earth
where nothing
grows
but the distaste for
each other
such bitter
seed
nothing can grow
from it
until
they bind
each other's
wounds
her love
her creation and I
heal each other
before it is too late.

At such a time as this (new poem)
At such a time as this
by Tim Kavi
wherein sweet music
once made
fools dance in the street
under the light of moon
and approaching warships
revolution
made bare the teeth
as aggression
fed massive
throngs of loyalists
singing
songs of blatant
parties of destructive
chasing demon guards
looking for exorcists
at such times as this
when even
the dancing stopped
your dancing
was divine
a goddess there
ethereal dreamy sheen
when I pulled back your veil
the face of my
goddess wife
was seen
and I knew
in times of war
and fighting
that love was
always at home
in her arms
and eyes
and heart
looking back at me.

Your Love Transcends (new poem)
Your Love Transcends
by Tim Kavi
from somewhere
we met
and yet
your love transcends
conventions
it is not my love
it is your love
empowered
it is your freedom
to say and to do
it is Your beauty
that instructs me
in the kind
gentility nature of love
it is your
sweet smile
that the composers
sung to
it is your fair eyes
that guides
the young
teaches
tyrants to bow down
the lame to dance
the tongueless
to sing
it is your love
that transcends
no other
love will do
or moves the poet
like the
love of you
remember
it is your love
that feeds the hungry
masses the weak
and makes them
strong
that frees the
chained ones
it isyour love
that transcends
carefully speaking
your name
your love
brings forth
the beautiful ones
seeks out
the vanquished ones
settles the unsettled ones
calms the crazy ones
walks the legless
ones
your love transcends all
whether troubles
distress
prisons
or even death itself
your love
brought us all One
to the place of peace
and the schools of
love
itself

Spring Birds of Love (new poem)
Spring Birds of Love
by Tim Kavi
pushing up through
the earth
petals leaves
beauties revealed
no longer concealed
singing creatures
of creation
screaming
beaming
responses to
food from the heavens
revealed
we see
the design
and manifestations
of Spring
sweet Notes
of Nature
transfixed there
as I beheld
her love
like Nature's
is a great care
the goddess
she is kissing me back
in the beauty
of our song
our feathers
are soft and sheen
never wrong
her Love
guides me
to a softer place
a nest
in her love
for we have
become the spring birds
outside
her window
free and in flight!
and in that soft glow
I saw her
that day
a sweet gentle dove
a singing robin
a mother bird
a sweet eagle
a flying
sure path
of her love
leading us back
migration
of two souls
finding
each other
again and again
through all time
for she is my mate
and in our bird call
is the precious
sounds of our love
a sweet wooing
a cooing
of love birds
hearts broken
when apart
but always
coming together
in one heart!
we fly away
some day
together
at the next dawning
into the sun
together
forever
even
when our lives
are done!
knowing a purpose
a plan
an understanding
that first
brought me to you
and you to me
the surety
the blessing
of that smiling!
Spring birds of love!
a love
so pure
that Nature itself
yearns for
and is made complete
in those birds
singing!
outside her window
we are there now
free and fit
in bodies destined
in spirits
unfettered and free !

Snow Queen (new poem)
Snow Queen
by Tim Kavi
enjoying the silence in your arms
the music of nature surrounds us
the white carpet on the ground
plays a dancing tune for our feet
in the glistening place
where your kiss is sweet
while the snowy crystals shine
I am warmed in the bed of our love
where your passion is the fire
of singing winter moments
and where your bed and breasts
made it always summer songs
music in my endearing heart
gentle drops drip from the snowy leaf
where a snowbird peeks
at the wonders
spring is coming
for soon the white sheets
that wrapped our love
must turn again to depart
in sweet songs of sorrow
due to Spring's arrival tomorrow
and in the vanquishing
of the long Winter Night
I catch a glimpse
of your new clothes
shining in the sun of Spring.
