I HAVE LEARNED FROM SAINTS, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 9, 2024

I have learned from saints

And from my own sins

Injuries and aches

A part of life we endure

On the path to

Becoming ourselves


-----


between cloth and skin

she will gladly let him in

her private playroom


-----


amazing inner burst

that which is release to her

flowing from her body


-----


the love i've given

so much i've lavished and lost

never to be returned


-----


did you really love

or simply need me to love

pretend mine was ours


-----


what most will say

to make you believe they love

will be changed later


-----


what i said i'd do

the way i said you would be loved

is what i will do


-----


reached the end of love one day

learned that i still had more to give

even to those who never loved me


-----


mortal man of pain and love

met a goddess of love and pain

and each made the other whole


-----


so often you've appeared

in guises of many women

whom i loved and watched

as you've walked away

leaving me wondering

if and when and how you

would truly manifest


-----


savory as sea water

sensual as seasonal tides

stroking our senses


-----


you're not asking sins

just a partner to explore

pleasure's many paths


-----


inner sun warms her

her juices begin to flow

as his dawn rises


-----


afraid of that first step

she grasps his hand for support

safely uncertain


-----


my hand grasping yours

you dare to submit yourself

to loving desires


-----


touch of lips and tongue

bringing her sweet bloom to life

with its' crystal dew


-----


how your beauty shines

desires polished and refined

by love's many touches


-----


too long others' toy

a moment of salvation

handed her own heaven


-----


a room with a stranger

kinky secret thing she did

remembered forever


-----


that's a lovely smile

although it's not meant for me

i'm glad i saw it


-----


i didn't need a yes

as long as there was maybe

i was willing to stay
