FIRST POEMS OF 2020 BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
Written Wednesday, January 1, 2020
venus in my hands
free amid sunshine and breeze
touched in loving ways
-----
eternal springtime
lovers never leave the time
when first they found love
-----
love when we're apart
don't just say you think of me
share the sounds you make
-----
When the ecstasy arrives,
When the thunder fills your body
The blood rushes in your ears,
The heat fills you,
And the only control you have
Is to say my name with
Gasping breaths,
Let me hold you,
Be there with you,
Share that stormy moment
Of love, body and soul,
Made one thing.
-----
exhausted coupling
flaming burst of ecstasy
forged by our passion
-----
pleasure's pressure builds
at the touch of your fingers
ecstasy arrives
-----
as adam and eve
bare in garden paradise
natural lovers
-----
We kiss and all dissolves,
For bodies become one,
In the joining of our mouths,
So wet and excited,
Spilling love back and forth,
Playfully touching tongues,
Mixing moisture as our bodies
Imprint one another,
Forgetting where one ends
And the other begins.
Nothing else but the kiss,
And the one we become.
-----
the hour of your kiss
moment of warm wet sharing
beginning of life
-----
your love for a kiss
true trinket to trade for gold
which lasts forever
-----
our love shakes the sky
soars with thunder and lightning
ends in soft embrace
-----
Trees and plants I remember,
My minor boyhood forest,
Small lad within the fence,
Remembering the oak,
One dead one broken,
The Chinaberry and dogwood
Both now gone, as too,
The arbor vitae, and the yucca,
From which we made swords,
Even the dead stump to which
We tied our enemies.
Trees, friends, playthings,
Gone with time but
In my memory.
-----
My first kisses,
Almost accidental,
Lenora and I,
Alone together
In the dark,
Bumbling,
Fumbling,
Kissing,
Innocent and ignorant,
Yet intent upon
Fulfilling our
Teenage destinies
Pretending
To be lovers
Even if only
For a night in the
Country club parking lot
Watching, over the bay,
A most romantic moon,
We had no idea how to use
Appropriately.
