By Donovan Baldwin

she hides secret sins
behind sweet smile and soft words...
i love her true self

-----

We blend voices,
The world and I,
It singing softly with
Evening breezes,
Roaring with excitement,
In storms and gales,
Lashing, drumming with
Hard driven rain,
Or tapping gently
Against window panes
One drop at a time,
It sings in so many
Voices, as I write
Words for its songs.

-----

hovers in the night
loving little hummingbird...
sipping moon flowers

-----

earth shows me beauty
i make pictures in my mind...
old well thumbed album

-----

Something about a fire,
A real fire, burning crackling wood,
Not a tame fireplace thing,
An outside fire with trees,
The special darkness of outside,
Gold flames dancing joyfully,
Lighting faces and imaginations,
Something real and primitive which
Directly touches the human soul.

-----

i can't see your face
yet i remember each line...
drawn from memory

-----

Naked in the bay,
Before the sun rose
Swimming in the
Morning's misty coolness,
Bare boy glorying in
The innocent touches
Of air and water
Unaware that someday,
Such free and
Loving caresses,
Unconditional freedom,
Would only be found
In a lover's arms.

-----

voices in the night
whisper explicit desires...
moans sighs and silence
