I'D LOVE TO PAINT YOU, AND OTHER POEMS

By Donovan Baldwin


treasured possession

sometimes fragile as crystal...

her genuine love


-----


someone once hurt her

betrayed the trust she offered...

he must win it back


-----


it was never fair

he asked the impossible...

made he feel she failed


-----


together daring

excursions into fantasy...

immoral support


-----


wonders at his touch

odd to see so many scars...

on such tender hands


-----


comes into the room

with no words brings him pleasure...

shares the love they shared


-----


after sharing love

trembling with the memories...

mutual repose


-----


rain pounds our bodies

lovers' heartbeats thundering...

within our own storm


-----


with him at her side

among dangerous desires...

she explores herself


-----


touch i've yet to feel

kiss i want to remember...

a coming embrace


-----


i'd love to paint you

an image instead of words...

to keep by my side


-----


a lovely flower

wild blossom in rumpled sheets...

in our private bed


-----
