By Donovan Baldwin

as if sun's own light
a far flung radiation
essence of true love

moon reflected back
so that by darkest of nights
we remain aware

this wondrous event
illuminating lovers
cast so far apart

-----

on separate isles
gazing cross a sea of dreams
with eyes of desire

-----

fingers in your hair
lips to lips pressed and open
trembling with passion

-----

most erotic tale
we write with touches as words
traced upon our skin

-----

more to our kisses
passionately uniting
mouths bodies and souls

-----

wrapped in our warm arms
bodies protect each other
naked love at home

-----

i write of my touch
your soft quiver of delight
our private story

-----

my so youthful words
belie the reality
of the ancient man

-----

why do i love her
quite the naughty lass she is
that's one good reason

-----

i know the moon has
secrets lovers keep hidden
for she told me yours

-----

play me light moon tunes
soft silver notes of snowfall
whispering to trees

-----

immortal the sea
her rhythmic waves beat in me
for eternity

-----

i bow before grace
upon rising of the sun
grateful at your feet

-----

Call me acolyte.
All lasts but as long
As we remember,
Speak names and words,
Others have forgotten,
Or never known,
But, with time,
That world
A shrinking memory
Grows
Smaller,
Dimmer,
And can only glow,
Remain almost as bright,
If someone
Tends its flame,
As I choose to do.
