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.

AFTERWORD: This poem was written in April of 2008, and posted on another blog I had at a social media site. The message seems prophetic almost, as it seems to fit 2011 completely.--T.K.

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.
