My Country (New Poem)

"My Country"

by Tim Kavi

This is the moment

of appreciation and reflection

some have died for us to be here

and some lived in a new land

it is what we longed for

striven in the new mindfulness

melting pot

of You and I

communities different

longing to be knit together

a union of composites

sometimes opposing entropy

in a universe of love 

brotherhood and sisterhood

in a cradle of democracy

cosmic and free

where only unfettered

wings and spirits

light the night.

stolen kiss

Stolen Kiss 

by Tim Kavi

rust breaks through and corrupts

the shining luster of lives lived

there are always the moments

lived in memories of sunlight

through the windows

the power of thieves

breaking in, alarms shrieking

but then a gentle recognition

a kind smile, of love's remembrance

new love's certain bounty

that first stolen kiss

When Mars Fell Asleep (New Poem)

When Mars Fell Asleep

by Tim Kavi

boys want to play army in fields

lined with mines

they walk among their friends' blood

ghosts in the shadows

at your lap o Goddess, sleeping

lies the gods of war

the weapons of war lie at their feet

abandoned as once you were

love has won out in the future of bliss

where shadows walk openly in the sun

and gardens are again planted

in romantic passions of youth revisited

even to the very old

the streets are cleaned of spoils

reminders of the follies of gain

while warlike tribes and leaders think

that nothing lasts of temperate mold

what is without entropy; only the power of love

love has vanquished the dark night of souls

but Mars is only sleeping

may he wake up and find you again and again

your love is everlasting and patient

cities are in your fold

but the bombed out ruins need to be rebuilt

into new shining squares

and the weapons turned into ploughshares

must be cleaned while children

are allowed to be children again.

Mars and Venus by Botticelli

For the hope of peace and knowledge of a sure love,
some might see a vague reference to the influence of Lucretius here--TK

Faceless Wonder (poem)

Faceless Wonder (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

to the longed for

to the Goddess

I know not your name

in millenia

throughout space and time

all dimensions

Yours and mine

whether in woman

or in man

whether you call it soul

or anima made manifest

in many faces

and many lands

I long to know you

and adore you just the same

I look up

your face has become

a lotus

beneath you 

You gave birth

to all that is

as the lotus

peels back

souls are in expansion

in every universal breath

I see you

I know your name

it is Lajia Gauri

Lajja Gauri

please allow me

to dance the triumphant dance

as my patience 

is rewarded by your smiling

blissful being!

Hope Remains (New Poem)

Hope Remains (New Poem)by Tim Kavi

as I wondered

lying here I thought

the older I get

what happened to my past?

what happened to me?

what happened to them?

to so and so

when we were young

we imagined the world's problems

would soon be passed!

but things turned out 

to be not so simple

and while progress has been made

it hardly seems so

and not enough

there is still a need

for social justice

for fairness and empowerment 

to all regardless of creed

gender

race or age

there is still a struggle

but hope remains

for both young and old

a world to be made!

Desperado (New Poem)

Desperado (New Poem)
by Tim Kavi

dusty trails
vanquished sunsets
uneasy sleeps
across winding
mountain trails

lonely teardrops
cannot atone
for evil deeds
that go unanswered

your regrets
are your sleeping partners
your loneliness
a reward

fugitives from justice
are ever pursued
by righteous fighters
against injustice
everywhere

you know
your days are numbered
making all your promises
and loves
short lived.
