By Donovan Baldwin

love's like an ocean
its tides so deeply flowing...
floating wet and warm

-----

ocean's quenching waves
cooling my fires of desire...
for all but my love

-----

sounds of talking waves
stories told in distant tongues...
i sit and listen

-----

warm waves on my toes,
steals the sand beneath my feet...
we hold each other

-----

kiss in the shallows
holding on in surging surf...
dragging us deeper

-----

wearing funny hats
cake and ice cream we're naked...
a private party

-----

rocks in the water
bare feet on sharp barnacles...
tendrils of blood swirl

-----

dark streets of munich
annie's at the rhumba bar...
my old memories

-----

i bought her flowers
sad rosie the prostitute...
working her birthday

-----

so damn many scars
a few happy memories...
how i became me

-----

I knew he was crazy,
But, he had no real friends.
I took him with me,
To Munich,
To The Rhumba Bar.
Didn't like the booze,
The service,
The girls.
Asked me to get the car,
Ran out,
Jumped in,
Drive!!!
I slashed their seats!
My favorite dive.
Couldn't go back.
The owner, Eddie the Jockey
Was good with a knife...
Too.

-----

let's not be fancy
stick to plain words and kisses...
no embellishments

-----

heavy lidded eyes
many soft and sleepy sighs...
carry you to bed

-----

tuck you tightly in
with many goodnight kisses...
stand watch by your side

-----

i taste your story
savoring the spicy parts...
fingers mark the spot

-----
