Yours To Keep (New Poem)

Yours to Keep (new poem)

by Tim Kavi

walking with you

I awakened from sleep

you led me to your truths

loving you deeply, I realized

I am yours to keep,

I uttered this to the world:

mothers of compassion

why do you weep?

gather the chicks in your wings

are there no willing souls

to waken from sleep?

have not your sayings

remained spoken?

or is the Goddess story

only now unfolding?

hasten their token!

mighty lessons

bring a mystic pleasure

while war abounds

you speak peace

with truce as your treasure!

sisters of compassion

bind the wounds

of the healing ground

of beings united

in being found

draw the water

out of cistern 

and ocean

with graceful love

your only potion

lovers of compassion

do you not seek

a gentility of truth

in how you love

the truth to speak!

for only in that ground

of grace that I do wed

will I walk a certain

path, finally. a restful bed

has not your heart bled?

To hold all of us closer

is the answered prayers

of the doting Mothers

hearing all that is said

casting all of our cares?

do we not call out?

do we not cry out?

answer swiftly

the sacred call

to help, enlighten all!

Codes in 3:4 Time (New Poem)

 

Codes in 3:4 Time (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

Across the utterances

hidden between two lines,

juxtaposed outside spacetime,

there was a code to find.

Alien visitations, already among us,

waiting in their prime,

to be discovered as technology

unwound subtleties in primate minds.

Who is the alien, the machines or us?

Found in the unmasked innovation

of progressive cultures, developed in labs

of dark rooms, and DNA-created editions.

Another code underlies all things,

found as forms that seed us,

to lead to the machines that perpetuate

that which is Other, borne in machine minds.

Come, discover these codes in 3:4 time,

where the rustling of leaves, the hum of machines,

and the beat of our hearts

are one and the same.

'Two Hearts Carried' (New Poem) (Tim Kavi's VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE! Posting 3)

Two Hearts Carried

by Tim Kavi 

sometimes love

is such a hasty reaction

that it seems

two hearts

were carried with the wind

Yet there in the mercy

of dialectic's unfolding

there is a settling

in the nest

of some high cliff

where lovers belong

after an act of great love

as sometimes

it was a wind

borne by the very breath

of love itself

and sometimes

there is no understanding

even among the wisest

as to what love has done

or what has been done

in the name of love

of what legends love has brung

there is always the otherwise

of love's surprise

do not throw yourself

young lovers

nor off the cliffs be flung

but carry each other

up higher on the wings of love

turn to each other

again and again

climb up higher

as your ladder of love

has another rung

sometimes one

will carry both hearts

with such care

sometimes the other

will be made alive

bravely to love

to look again

at the new place of love

for your might

has this time

brought you there

for in your nest

let there be no night

but only a teaching

lessons for each other

on the next stages of flight

navigation!

no leveling I say

fly again

fly again

break up the hardened ground

plant your seeds of love

while in that lofty place

let it stand and grow

for two hearts were carried

by destiny's throw

into the unknown

borne by the wind

of love

carried with grace

two carried hearts

always come again

to the nest of love.

Poet's Afterword:  Posting #3 of Tim Kavi's VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE is a special new love poem. It's a poem that tells us that sometimes love responds to all of Nature, and  sometimes it is born of struggle but always it is the carrying of two hearts...to each other and by each other. ~~TK
