'pheromones' timothy r gates, 11/04/2009


hormones
him, her
here, there
ear, hear
pheromones
one does, another
doesn't
walk in the room, knock
you down
walk in the room, block
the ground
via the net, baffling
here, there
ear, hear
pheromones
kick my senses,
rationally, irrationally
she, he
here, there
ear, hear
this one just kicks
damn blessed
pheromones.

'bats goblins' timothy r gates, 10/28/2009

Bats
goblins
skip to my loo
cats
oblongs
skip to my loo
hats
tag-a-longs
skip to my loo
skip to my loo,
not to mention a few other things,
my darling.

curtsy trg for friend c

Curtsy
Demure
Winks, grins
Darkness laughs
Daylight sings
Her day is any day
Though some think its only
This day
Bats in the belfry, they know
Every day is her
Day to
Curtsy
Demure, she is
Blessing with seeming indiscreet
Discreet winks, grins.
Full circle, the moon
Smiles.


'romanticism' timothy r gates, 11/05/2009

tears easily flow
excused by, 'chocked up'
daughters have said, often,
'daddy, you're such a girl,'
with grins
never holding back a
kiss and hug
like looking into mirrors
eyes, pools, swimming
this refrain kicks
insatiable fears satiated
romanticism
not sentimentality
faith's eye and ear
don't know anything
save for the song
being sung.
Yes,
romanticism.
