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.

'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

At a Moroccan Wedding (wedding poem) (Tim Kavi's VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE! Posting 2)

At a Moroccan Wedding

by Tim Kavi

happy couples

inspire us all

to seize love

face love

in it be tall

and when moments

like this

reward that search

we know

we have loved

powerfully

strongly

and made history

so made brave

by our love

we confidently

face life

together as

husband and wife!

Poet's Afterword: In posting #2 we have a special wedding poem (short but sweet) for a special pair of friends of mine.  So to Judy and Abderrahim, I wish you continued happiness in the power of love.
