lovely and beautiful (new poem)

lovely and beautiful

by Tim Kavi

lovely and beautiful

your smile lights the world

where on twisted pathways

the foot of this admirer has trod

until at last

lit by your pretty essence

home has been found

love has been found

forever reflected

in your lovely smiling grace.

poets' afterword:  the photo is of the Greek goddess, the smiling Athena. She is found at the Aphaia Temple at Aegina. She is the tallest representation over all the goddesses depicted in the excavations.  Has a goddess like this ever graced your life?  Hope you tell her so today.~~TK

Your Love Transcends (new poem)

Your Love Transcends
by Tim Kavi

from somewhere
we met
and yet
your love transcends
conventions

it is not my love
it is your love
empowered
it is your freedom
to say and to do

it is Your beauty
that instructs me
in the kind
gentility nature of love

it is your
sweet smile
that the composers
sung to

it is your fair eyes
that guides
the young
teaches
tyrants to bow down
the lame to dance
the tongueless
to sing

it is your love
that transcends

no other
love will do
or moves the poet
like the
love of you

remember
it is your love
that feeds the hungry
masses the weak
and makes them
strong
that frees the
chained ones

it isyour love
that transcends

carefully speaking
your name
your love
brings forth
the beautiful ones

seeks out
the vanquished ones
settles the unsettled ones
calms the crazy ones
walks the legless
ones
your love transcends all
whether troubles
distress
prisons
or even death itself

your love
brought us all One
to the place of peace
and the schools of
love
itself
