'fateful failure' & 'angels fall, again'

'fateful failure' timothy r gates, 4/09/2009

glad of that fateful
failure,
most days.
angels, devils
gods, goddesses
Jesus
watched that fateful
failure,
day's blink.
mad, happy
angry, dance
wind
blew that fateful
failure
face's chill.
awakening to that fateful
failure,
surprising unrepentant,
repose's success.

'Friday the 13th, and a day or more after' timothy r gates, 3/15/2009

'slip sliding away,'
i hear the tune, as i do,
'jesus is just alright with me,' and more,
'cosmic cowboy,' only to return to a youth's,
'Toadstool,' Cream's 18mins on the radio

'sometimes'* timothy r gates, 3/12/2009

sometimes
i laugh aloud
sometimes
i don't
sometimes
i do within
sometimes
i wished that i could, would
sometimes
i pray for love

sometimes
i feel another's heat
then i awake

'smiles to-day' timothy r gates, 3/09/2009

Jesus smiles
to-day
where another-day
he wept,
his buddy died
that-day
resurrection, yes!
reprieve, dear Lazarus,
either
a lot-o-makin' up to do,
or
such a smile needed to be seen
more-days.
all, frowns too,
gifts
to the geo-biological-decomposition
re-surrect, a-again, a-rise.
Now,
day's-moment,
i'm smiling too.

'i dream a song' timothy r gates, 2/3/2009

i dream a song
in the day star
daddies and mommies
touches only heal
singing in tune
seven of nine tones
i dream a song
in the night light
boys and girls
hold hands freely
swaying in beats
sixth tone's smile arises
good night
good day

'quiet sensuality' timothy r gates, 2/28/2009 **

quiet sensuality
fairy ballet
toes just touch
skim dew's peaks
white caps broken
who catches?
you, me, together
not a jealous guy
just a guy
not another's gal
just a gal
iris' hues
dogwood's lament
lily of the valley bells,
ping-bong-dong-tink
black rose
purple crush
senses replete
insatiably satiable

**note:yes, inspired by Lennon, again, and a friend

'recline'...
