Goddess in a Garden (The First Day of Spring) (new poem)

 

Goddess in a Garden

by Tim Kavi

Goddess in a Garden

there she sits!

amidst the plantings

and the nurtured young

the beautiful flowers

and the growing sustenance

that the world needs

for longevity and peace

She stands majestic

glorious Kwan Yin

sitting upon a lotus

I know I saw her there

adorned with green leaves

cushioned by soft earth

tilled and touched by love

by gardener hands complete

there she lies!

every woman in the world

a goddess in a garden. 

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.

Garden's Delight (new poem)

Garden's Delight (Poem)

by Tim Kavi

The beauty of flowers

illuminate dusty corridors

of garden paths in my mind

their living love shines

wavelike webs hang on

forested branches of green

protecting the lovely living

things that move across forest floors

into lanes of memories

clearly defined and refined

by history's marching dialectic

across all time

on the porch, she looks

like Gaia, a grandmother sees

the sprouting earthy designs

she resigns to peace, for a grandma's love

is the garden's delight.

afterword: on the first day of Spring a poem about gardens and the gardeners of Nature in the ever tending wisdom of the ancient goddess and elder wisdom.~TK 

Imagined Lines (poem)

Imagined Lines

by Tim Kavi

If One Were to Imagine

how beautiful Nature is

within and without

one would if not 

for the trappings 

of science, imagine

they are seeing

magic and beauty

at the same time.

Rain Country (new poem)

Rain Country by Tim Kavi 

wet drops

so consuming that

they threaten

to flood you

with waves

of self deprecation

for ever

braving the elements

that you are convinced

of monsoon

qualities

until dancing in

the dirt

You realize

You are like the lush

green plants

thirsty

yet in this case

not knowing it

YOU are found

to be alive

dancing in vibrant

leafy expressions

of love

and life

until not one

moment is lost.

Spring Garden (new poem)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Spring Garden"

by Tim Kavi

wondering about the Earth

there are only the glorious

colors, wings, of the seasoned

pushing forth

of Spring's new birth



gentle footsteps

down all of the paths

brings only the Mother

to her young



who is gathering eggs

that contain treasures

nearby



and dreaming of tea

with her tea set



until the sun greets

the raindrops on the

little plants



both she and her beholden ones

planted in the garden

by Gaia's loving hands



until all is revealed

in the gardens

of Spring.

Jungles of Love (New Poem)

Jungles of  Love

by Tim Kavi

burning fire

on my lips

utterances of urgency

I know not what I am saying

my clothes

are torn

all is madness

in the gathering clouds

a storm is coming

death rides it

a horse

of war and pestilence

human made

or not

my stomach

has consumed

an unsweet arsenic roll

ecstatic trances

I have forgotten

the romances

with all this world

has to offer

I starve except

waiting for you

there is no word

except this

turn the ground

break it up

plow the seeds of love

and be not late

for it is planting time

in the fields of the world

break up your heart's

fallow ground

who am I?

no one

but everyone

who fears love has been

lost to the world

someone with a voice 

who longs for love 

to grow again

into a great garden

into a mighty forest

further along it's river

basins, to become

a jungle again

overpowering

overgrowth of human

and agape love

melting

flowing

back from the gardens

feeding the world

so how can I be silent?

oh but to only humbly speak

you dislike me?

I am become unpopular?

Laughing

I look into your face

and say I care not

a just love

lights my face

if you care only for money

or even for bread

there is yet a richness

a food of plenty

that ignores you

and my skeletal body

adores

only to be an instrument

of love

no more thundering voice

only for a just cause

the gardens of love

growing again in the world

please tell me

you will do your part

lest I die

of a broken heart.

Honey in Sight! (New Poem)

Honey in Sight!
by Tim Kavi

when she walks
and talks
I hear honey dripping

sweet dew is ascendant
from fresh petals
derived from Mother Earth
the dirt smiles
knowing the sweetness
is given

heaven to some
those in flight
line up like eager ones
awaiting sleep in the night

all wonder
the direction
of nearest supply
'tis my love ascendent
winged sweet bringer
of afternoon delight

back to the hive
our minds
all connected
stay in the Queen's
blessings

sweet nectar
stored
until the next flight

I see my love
silhouetted in the gardens
of the world
admiring her art

honey drops
in all her kissing
and hugs to last
a life.

your beauty (new poem)

your beauty
by Tim Kavi

I saw you at the museum
in the ruins of Athens
at the park the other day
and I saw you in the flowers just opened

all around
I saw your beauty
it is like the dancing goddess of spring
that brings life

and like the harvest
reaping in Autumn
you know
what tomorrow your love will bring

all is new
renewed and covered in your Earth
again

great is your faithfulness
great is your love
my words are just markings of love
where I am a tool in your hands

tending to wherever your love grows
born things
are everywhere

stretched across the membranes of time
ready to burst
the underlying true Universe
is foreshadowed
and longs to be born

waiting for your spoken words of love
and everywhere uttering your Name
there is only the appearing
of all that is You
in love
in resurrection
in beauty.
