WHAT MAKES POETRY AND OTHER POEMS

By Donovan Baldwin


what makes poetry

long ago kiss an embrace...

set down into words


-----


tears upon petals

desire's glistening diamonds...

coaxed forth by kisses


-----


crumbling old relic

ancient beyond salvation...

restored by her love


-----


sinful wine we share

a magnificent vintage...

spilling from our mouths


-----


best shirt plaid flannel

coffee cup that's cracked and stained...

the world is my domain


-----


slow dance to old songs

touching ways that lovers do...

on mind and body


-----


reading his strange words

which reach inside and touch her...

ways that make her smile


-----


in your eyes i see

burning desires of your soul...

dancing flames you hide


-----


bound by webs of words

quivers as they touch her soul...

crying out with joy


-----


how can this be real

ecstasy cannot be touched...

touches so deeply


-----


soft waves barely seen

leave phosphorescent kisses...

on sand's moonglow lips


-----


at our moon's command

for a moment stars are still...

so we remember


-----


struggles against pain

fighting each day's new battles...

warrior princess


-----


writing poetry

often i can but echo...

the words which chose me


-----


in search of pleasure

she immerses herself in...

pools of poetry


-----


how it excites her

the moment he moans her name...

when she's all he feels


-----


understood by her

is a greatest gift to me...

she understands love


-----


she shared her secrets

surprised how many matched mine...

she's such a good girl


-----


can't conquer her soul

must wait until she's ready...

reveals it herself


-----


sometimes animal

she comes and unlocks my cage...

running free with me


-----

Glad to read your poetic weaves. God bless.
 
Thank you, Shobhana. Since I was kicked out of LinkedIn, I've wondered if anyone noticed I was gone.

Take care, Dear.

Don
