'what i know, so i say I & II'

'what i know, so i say I' timothy r gates, 5/18/2011
certain looks,
sharing of books
a reading to me,
poetry in front of others
certain looks,
sharing of books
that first word
kiss on the cheek
certain looks,
strokes in acrylic
primary colours
shared in bold swirls
certain looks,
like certain books
gives a blessed repose
glad awakening.

'what i know, so i say II' timothy r gates, 5/18/2011

breathing is cool
not breathing hurts, until you take a
breath.
sex is good
a lover's embrace is better, to
hear her breath is even, yes,
better.
praying is not preying
saying what I do not know
this is all that I know, so I say,
that I do not.
a touch on the hand
brush on the cheek,
'unforgettable,' a melody
breathes.
