WHEN YOUR WORDS APPEAR, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 4, 2024

 when your words appear

i know poetry's arrived

because it's from you


-----


you frighten yourself

intensity of desires

bursting into flame


-----


in the august rain

drops tapping out a lover's tune

background to kisses


-----


didn't mind your sins

and then you accepted mine

shared and compared


-----


could have anyone

somehow she picked a poet

fairy tale of course


-----


wish my love to love

who and when and how she will

that is how i love


-----


suddenly you're here

granting me in loving ways

the gift of yourself


-----


you are the name of love

the delightful figure in the night

who shares the stars and moon


-----


never again to know

wild embrace of willing arms

the arching of delight

surging cries of ecstasy


-----


she so touched my heart

by giving me all of herself

entirely trusting


-----


how long will linger

thoughts of what we might have had

if fate were kinder


-----


i left you behind

took my memories with me

cruel to both of us


never forgot you


-----


watch for you daily

wishing and wondering if...

that's it that's all... if


-----


never been a lover

yet i've always been in love

with you and you and you


------


use me she told me

and so i did what she said

to break my own heart


-----


never weep for me

pain has all been caused by me

by loving too much


-----


life's been a struggle

how'd i ever get this far

without dying


-----


i typed love letters

well disguised as poetry

written just for you


-----


her eyes filled with love

lips to speak of sweet desire

yet remains faceless


-----


legs wrapped around me

held up by the wall and me

sex in the hallway


-----


would you if you could

do that thing you've not yet dared

yet dream of daily


-----


downpour of desire

daunting deluge of delight

delicious desserts


-----


wind stirs autumn leaves

raising them in colorful swirls

like billowing skirts


-----


you left me for dead

yet somehow i found the strength

to follow forever


-----


picking through your words

finding out your needs and wants

saving them in poems


-----


i write you often

yet you answer so seldom

yet i write again


-----


sprawled upon the bed

lovers' new positions of passion

tangled in each other


--...


capturing fingers

tightly woven pathway leads

him to her grotto


-----


i'm a silent man

just fingers know how to speak

i hope you hear them


-----


never heard you say

that you cared one bit for me

like i cared fo you


-----


he immerses her

in another baptism

of a carnal source


-----


i did it for you

write a poem about me

make me immortal


------

ALONE TOGETHER, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 3, 2024

alone together

hand in hand we stroll your paths

among your petals


-----


when YOU are ready

that's when the time will be right

let no one push you


-----


I've never met you

yet think about you often

set you down in words


-----


it's not about me

but i'm having so much fun

watching you take wing


-----


in some of your words

mark me down as accomplice

for the part i played


-----


i dreamed you loved me

something that can never be

let me have the dream


-----


looked into his sky

where she found a different star

pulsing with desire


-----


serene in the knowledge

that they'll never be perfect

accept for each other


-----


yours the only heart

calling to me with heartbeats

that my heart can hear


-----


it amazes me

so many poems you've caused

sharing your purpose


-----


hooked on poet's words

poems make her strip her soul

exposing herself


-----


keep my fire alive

feed me the fuel for my flames

your burning desires


-----


in love it matters

that our pleasing ourselves

makes each other happy


-----


holding her he asks

do your desires frighten you

let's conquer them together


-----


do i respect you

despite daring words you write

or because you dare write them

i hope you know why


-----


i always seek you

whether i'm happy or sad

because i always need you


-----


some won't understand

the way poetry releases

the body and mind


-----


hammer of fingers

taut and straining vibrations

shatter need's crystal


-----


why do i not speak

it's not my place or time

i am not wanted


-----


odd this memory

i remember loving you

in lives not YET lived


-----


i would give you all

if i had anything to give

other than poems


-----


poet falls silent

without words i am nothing

just whispers on a breeze


-----


i recall my youth

delicious and delightful sins

committed now in dreams


-----


much as i desire

you will never be my love

except in my heart


-----


she desires but fears

this offering of herself

for the sake of love


he'll never allow

the indiscriminate use

of body or soul


yet he will guide her

into darkness she desires

guard and protect her


-----


perhaps tomorrow

the day my love returns to me

back from her darkness


-----


naked you're floating

a dance upon my back

face down on my skin

-----

SOME SECRET PICTURES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 2, 2024

some secret pictures

taken from a secret place

reveal her secrets


-----


her hands harvesting

summer rains of her desires

her lover arrives


-----


man seeks to return

to the font from which he sprang

taste its salt sea tang


-----


she has found her place

within my mind's wild pleasures

necessary to them


-----


your body my page

skin quivers beneath my pen

as words come alive


-----


gasp of excitement

words like eager butterflies

fill her with pleasure


-----


from its hidden place

she selects a pleasure toy

and one of his poems


-----


a story for her

rousing and erotic tale

she has often dreamed


-----


always at her side

he helps explore her dark desires

the fuel for her fires


-----


as lace revealed her

she recognized the woman

she was meant to be


-----


two starving lovers

savor a feast of amour

their private banquet


-----


i remind myself

i'm too old to feel this way

yet again i do


-----


aloft upon your gale

soar as slow and steady winds

erupt into a gale


-----


left so far apart

best stars of the universe

different galaxies


-----


last scrap covering falls

steps naked into her new love

adventure awaits


-----


what's me without you

how empty would be my shell

if i can't have you


-----

YOUR PASTEL PAGES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 1, 2024

Your pastel pages

Fluttering beneath the pen,

Pearlescent ink barely seen,

Underlining and marking,

The curves and folds,

Of the delicious flower,

Precious cup from which

Poet drinks his wine.


-----


tastes words one by one

as they drip my mouth to hers

become poetry


-----


look into your eyes

imagining the thoughts you hide

behind quiet fire


-----


life's greyscale rainbow

yesterday a happy day

today sad shadows


-----


no longer restrained

released from one set of bonds

gives herself to him


-----


never saw your face

yet i know you're beautiful

your words have told me


never touched your skin

yet I've left words written there

by your gentle hand


never heard your voice

yet i know sighs in the dark

have followed my words


-----


your kiss saps my strength

your embrace restores my youth

i need both to live


-----


serving me coffee

wearing my pajama shirt

carefully unbuttoned


-----


why you can't love me

i'm too old and you're so young

i just want you happy


-----


She put on a show about sin

Delightfully uncovered skin,

She showed him the way

Nice girls shouldn't play,

And then she invited him in.


-- Donovan Baldwin
