Ravensong Poetry And Writing Blog by Donovan Baldwin

i love to see you
lady in your disarray
real and natural

-----

imagine a kiss
the meeting of willing lips
open discussion

-----

tongues transmitting thoughts
my moist mature murmurings
inner ideas

-----

our mingled breaths
the mixed moisture of our mouths
caressing bodies

-----

Can we say we "keep" time,
When it, fluid,
Likened to a river,
Flows past
No matter our efforts
At constraining it?

Or, do we merely mark time,
With arbitrary seconds and hours,
Which we mortals,
Prisoners of time,
Invented to measure
The dimensions of our cells?

-----

She reclines as I read,
Immersed in suds and poetry,
Bathed by water and words,
Emollient elegies softening
Stiff, tired muscles of her soul,
Releasing restraints and,
Dozens of delayed desires as
My orgasmic orations
Leave her laying languidly
In anticlimactic afterglow.

-----

wet your lips with wine
press them joyfully to mine
afterwards we dine

-----

write between my lines
i'll read words you mean to say
loveliest of all

-----

your passionate flames
lick the tinder of my soul
leaving it branded

-----

say with soft fervor
the secrets you have hidden
so we can love them

-----

what you did last night
you meant to be a secret
makes me love you more

-----
