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
------
