A LOVER'S TALE - A POEM BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

 

On wet gray stones my boot heels clattered,

Echoes from silent walls... as if it mattered,

That she and I had passed this way,

And, parted at the dawn of day.


One hurried night of thoughtless pleasure,

While taken to its coarsest measure,

Within my heart a bright light gleamed,

It had been more than what it seemed.


Touched, oh yes touched deeply by,

The lady who had caught my eye,

Who I had claimed so casually,

Yet, tossed aside so soon to be...


And yet, 'twas I was caught within,

As net of love rose from our sin,

And as I heard the first bell toll,

She left ME there, a joke so droll.


As I lay, unbelieving and heartsore,

She left my world and shut the door,

And let the darkness in my soul,

Yes, on ME a joke so droll.

Hello Donovan. Nice to see you are still active with your poetry. You cross my mind from time to time, then I search your name on LinkedIn, thinking maybe you came back. Anyway, here is a post about you on LinkedIn sometime ago

Good day
 
Just saw this. No idea why I haven't seen it before. Thank you for caring. I was kicked off Linkedin because they thought some of my poems were too risque. I can be found here and on instagram and threads as By The Bay Writer
