By Donovan Baldwin

sun awakes to paint
portraiture in pastels bold...
brushstrokes in the skies

-----

spring's hot breath warms her
opening her pleasure gate
secret garden blooms

-----

our huge old twin oak
rope and board swing from a limb
now just memory

-----

backyard symphony
memory of my childhood
so many bird songs

-----

boy winds through the trees
brief touches of sun and shadow
natural freedom

-----

i will close my eyes
travel to another world
where she welcomes me

-----

hugging from behind
bare breasts covered by my arm
nod to modesty

-----

welcomed to her cave
grotto of carnal delight
where venus rises

-----
