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).

observers of the vat (new poem)

observers of the vat (new poem) by tim kavi



There are some that say
we are but entertainment
cinema to the unmasked

basked outside the canvas
universal; universe-all canvas
of brave heroes, animas untold

in foreign lands, back home
dimensional palaces
outside tesseracted resurrected
mansions in our heavenly places

where walking across sandy shores
there are beaches of smashed
human castles, as epochs fade
history unravels in realizations

of absurd meanings
speckled across homecomings
to latex manufacturing
of synthetics; plastic to be heard

perhaps minding this place
in what seems to us
a vast cosmos; we are
in a vat; other beings to see

yet creating meanings
that search for transcendence
and finding freedoms
to move up higher

yet to find 
meanings are in meetings
even other beings
a purposeful sea

so time moves us up from the vat?
what will we see?
another plane of existence
where we are partly free!

there is always the collapsing
entropy of seeming
decay; but one knows
intimately there is another way!

spoken only in shadows
of dreams and cave walls
the essence of human
spirits divinely touched

shall never fail
even if in a vat
or a cold cosmos
the heat of existence warms

itself in the love of being
loved and the discovery 
of the free!

Obsessions Connections (New Poem)

obsessions connections 
by Tim Kavi

twisted wires
speak messages
to anonymous users
licensed
to fictional selves

twisting and turning
across the world
spreading messages
of love and hope

will the real
be known and found
or is it Plato's cave
magnified?

sometimes freedom
is just obtaining
an unrestricted IP address

and other times
it is the ability to speak freely
on the street
but there is always
a turning to a knowing
where even
in a Wintry morning

I am found
in the Yous across
the world.
