I Looked At (new poem)

I LOOKED AT (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

I looked at

water coming forth 

from the rocks

streaming down 

the mountainside

becoming a stream

a river

and then a mighty ocean

I looked at

the harbored life

living so small

I could not see

but still believed

becoming greater

swimming lives

across eternity's tide

I looked at

temples burning

incense in blossoms

of lovely surprise

becoming deities

in the smoke

that did arise

winged ministries fly

I looked at

my planet; hoping

for love to save it

some are sleeping

to garden it

to appreciate

Gaia's keeping

to nurture it

I looked at

starry skies

saw many suns

blinking in the night

realizing cosmic scale's

awesome humbling

powers; across the

vast cosmos

I looked at

me; and then You

saw a thunderous

glory in the meeting

of the between

You and I

face to face

in every place

where souls are greeting.

Love's DNA (poem) (Tim Kavi's VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE! Posting 1)

Love's DNA
by Tim Kavi

Infinite loves
bend in the helix
that becomes the
model
of coded
instructions
for the complexities
of yet more
design

in a love
that speaks to
another kind
of bonded pair

there
in our love
is the Nature's
schooling
natural selection
of destiny's
twisting

purpose

until there
is no drifting
as variations
and plans
unfold

as long
as poems
and songs
and novels
and stories

have been told

there is the
power
of love
to code itself and
rebuild itself
again and again

this is the love
that flows
in the between
in the
meeting
of person to person

the memories
of the whole
human race
the ancients
knew

what scheme is this
what dream

but
biology's
revealing
of something much
deeper

still
destined
in the human heart's will

to love
to say
to utter
beauty and true
words
with power

that say:
I love you!

Poet's Afterword:  My first selection in Tim Kavi's VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE is a love poem that reveals that although there is plenty of mystery in a love at first meeting---there is always the code that gets lived out between two loves.More tomorrow!~~TK

Heal Each Other (New poem)

he"Heal Each Other"
by Tim Kavi

and in the gleam of the madness eye
there is a long table
of eternal recurrence
that has no end
and no soulful sleeping

for the Earth has shook

but even there
is a between
transfixed
as I see my suffering
brother
friend
mother

Gaia
knows no earthlike song

in the collapsing
chaos
of poisoned
darkened
earth

where nothing
grows
but the distaste for
each other

such bitter
seed
nothing can grow
from it

until
they bind
each other's
wounds

her love
her creation and I
heal each other

before it is too late.
