Holiday Prayer (new poem)

 

Holiday Prayer (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

in my heart

rises a prayer for the world

it is not just from my heart

but on my lips

as no prayer

has ever been uttered

as no longing

intercessory yearnings

flew to a heavenly throne

not just for peace

and good will

not just social justice

for all

not just for love

to those who feel unloved

joy to those

who are sad or feeling lost

but for health

and safety

a yearning, for those 

who have cried out

may angel's wings

carry you to the place

where eagles soar

far above 

from all life's troubles

where they will look small

and finally are brought low

in the new year

and to the plague's own demise

we say to the world

as humankind

we will rise

we will rise!

The Lighthouse (new poem)

 

The Lighthouse (new poem)

by Tim Kavi

walking among the parsecs that stretched

for miles across the horizon

there was the resolute resounding

of a lighthouse calling me always 

back to home

whether choppy seas of wandering

crafts briefly lost in the foggy night

gathered hopes for their approach

to the shorey home's delight

away from the unsettling speech

of those sirens who called out

in the unconscious darkness of the sea

bidding all that sail a place to go to

in the twinkling starlight

a compass back to safe harbors

I walked like one of those ships

reeling towards my life

going by far too quickly now

there is in the shadows lurking

a fearful sight

meeting myself in the cosmic night.

Space and Time (moments we exist in) (new poem)

 

Space and Time (moments we exist in)

by Tim Kavi

it was in

that I first noticed out

the startling recognition

of the face that was not mine

it was You

but was it You

my mother?

or the harsh blows

of existence?

the wind tousled

my hair at birth

a cosmic wind

of unfulfilled purpose

and shaken perceptions

the birth

of all that is

unconscious meanderings

made manifest

in dialogical pleadings

of wondering

wandering minstrels

playing something

that moves in and out

on cave walls of shadows

unknown objects

in this space and time

my unconscious

is not found in space

but in art full sayings sublime?

there is the way made

plain, but overgrown paths

to mountains of ecstatic

loss; of self and mind

brought back from the abyss

where some have tried to hurt

and plagues bury us

in the earthy dirt

there it is You (my love)

again, You and I

I and You

your ideas changed

me and my world

into colors on a canvas

images on a flickering screen

words upon a page

hate transcended by love

for any and all to see

ideas transmitted

forms and will

energized noumena

dialectical moments

expressed upon my time

across the fleeting

historical space

(I again find your tesseracted face).

shrine of the goddess (new poem)

shrine of the goddess (poem)

by Tim Kavi

In the distance

a foggy shroud

I see

a mountain path

climbing to an essence

lost in a fog

the path winds

upward, like

a foothold into

an existential abyss

There, the preponderance

of the evident

is lost to all my senses

but the beauty 

lingers like a lasting impression

of Her, in the mist

is She that dwells

in the shrine

of the goddess.

Step up! Step Lively! (poem of protest)

Step Up! Step Lively!

by Tim Kavi

Step up! Step Lively!

Ascending certainty of your existence

shaking a fist at uncertainty

with a replacement of surety

to avoid its restraints

and assert that, yes, all lives matter!

so stop

and step lively

shake a fist! shout!

they claim they're just following orders

and procedures, rights due them,

when they leave people

lying on the ground

those stupid fuckers!

so, stop!

Step up! Step lively! 

All over the world

we are telling

shouting screaming

your destiny is hurled

towards a single point

of compassionate humanity

an overflowing sense 

of world community

born of tragedy

borne on the wings

of overcomers

in the winds of change!

so step up! Step lively!

come up higher

and be not faint!

Step Up! Step Lively! 

In Times Like This (new poem)

IN TIMES LIKE THIS (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

in times like this, we feel so afraid

but then I come home to your love

and feel the comforts you've made

while the lights of the universe

shine so bright; in this darkened night,

when I see you, my fears disperse

there need not be any fear

when the love of my life

is so near 

in the gentle repose

there is a stillness of peace

in memories of those

many nights of your kisses

bringing sudden healing

to all the world's remisses

hope in your arms tonight

where all troubles forgotten

all wrongs are made right

asleep in your arms tonight.

Author's note: while the coronavirus ravages the world, this song arose from the kisses of my lovely wife!~~TK
Psalm 91:5-6

white wings ( A valentine's day poem for the angels sent ones who bring us love)

white wings

by Tim Kavi

sweet flight

comes to abide near my heart

near me in darkness

waves crashing

in moonlit night

sweet kisses

words whispered softly

in my nurtured ears

when love departs

the heart misses

back the next day

growing near

footsteps sound like twitters

skittering across the icy branches

of love's delay

there is a drawing near

two hearts beat

as love lights the sure path

across the meadowed Spring

love has found its way here.

Gaia (new poem)

GAIA (new poem)by Tim Kavi

birdsong

rain's pitter-patter

children ask

plants; why

do you grow?

the sweet refrain

only calls

GAIA to see

what's the matter.
