BETRAYAL

Posted by Kari Li, 26 September 2008 - - - - - - · 3 views

Words softly spoken
Fill me with rage
Ambiguity broken
My insides to ashes
What right have you
To do this to me
Your cruelty astounds
My senses are reeling
Humiliation, pain
And powerlessly seething

Lost in a crowd
Of strangers and foes
She joins us – we
Smiling and laughing
No making of waves
I drown in anguish
Am...

THE RIVER GOD

A Poem by Kari Li

Heartless and cruel
And wounded so deep
You scatter destruction like the River God
Drowning my heart with cascading tears
Forsaking but not forsaken
Ruptured and vulnerable
The life and death life cycle
Brings death long since buried

Perspective

Poetry
The light from Orion's right foot
Took nine hundred years to meet me
It left in the 11th century
In the time of hunter-gatherers
San-khoi dancers dancing their tribute to the Gods
Aboriginal dreamtime dreaming
Happy hunting grounds of prairies of plenty
Changes beyond imaginings
Whilst the light traveled through space...

A Poem by Kari Li

SEDUCTION

The wall built around me
Imprisons protects
I peer over its edges from inside my nest
Then you come along
And chipping and scratching
My wall hits the ground
I fold my arms around me
You fold my arms around you
I say "No" quietly, steadfastly
The wind whips my words away
Your hands touching caressing
Awakens...

"Kiss me" he said, "I like you so much",
"So pretty," he said as he circled his arms,
"Kiss me," he said as we walked in the wilds,
"I like you, you're pretty and we'll both have delight".

I like you, you're handsome and your hands feel so warm,
I'm lonely,...

The Living of Life When It Thinks It's Alone

Posted by Kari Li, 15 June 2008 - - - - - - · 40 views
Poetry
"Its quiet in the forests today,
I didn't see very much.
Did you see life in the forests today
When you walked by yourself?"

I saw giant trees fighting their battle of ages
I saw the Strangler victorious stand firm on the ground
I saw rivers taking the mountain to the sea
I saw the green gold of the sun as it shines through the leaves
I saw...

Cuillen 2

Poetry
Ridgeways and rockways salute to the sky
Cathedral black rocks climbing higher than high
Home of the eagle with the sunlight eyes
Weaves through my dreams, it cries whilst it flies.

Rivers of stone flow from Sgurrs to the grounds
Flows through the mists of the moonrock mounds
Graveyards of peaks, that the tempests have found...

Poetry
Awesome black ridges of the Dragon's back
Erupt from the mists of the blue silken seas
With his head in the clouds
He silently roars
Jubilant and deafening
His cry is so wild
Chorusing the song in my soul
I climb higher
Feeling like I fly
I reach for the sky
Onwards and upwards
Up into...

THE FISHERMAN

Posted by Kari Li, 21 April 2008 - - - - - - · 8 views
Poetry
Patiently
Weaves a spell around the hook
Bright, Shiny & Barbed
Clothing it in colours, mirages
Betraying the fish
Into belief
of life

The fish
Stalking its flickering twilight world
Is hungry
And yields to its perceptual desires
Food is life
Buts its error
Is death

The line...

PEAS IN THE POD

Posted by Kari Li, 19 April 2008 - - - - - - · 20 views
Poetry
The pod is not empty, it has you and me
Soul sister in spirit, how I love thee.
With you in the world I am never alone,
Fashioned and anchored, my emotional home.

Absorbing my pain, you make it much softer,
Widen my vision, and entice me to laughter.
Your wisdom you've earned with too much pain of your own
Your eyes pierce...
