I WILL WRITE FOR YOU, AND OTHER POEMS, AUGUST 10, 2024, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
i will write for you
as long as you find my words
pathways to pleasure
-----
poet or medium
words sentences paragraphs
fighting to be heard
-----
Do you know what tinnitus is?
It's a constant hum or buzz in the ear that can drive you crazy.
I have that AND a tinnitus of words.
Words are mixed with images, poured into sentences, paragraphs, and poetry.
ADHD slams and jams them together then out the door.
24/7/365
A constant clamor of creation with orgasmic bursts of nativity...
Not under my control... much...
No rest for the poet.
I awaken at 2AM and it's happening.
I take the dog out at 6 AM and it's happening.
Even now.
-----
soft but not fragile
a most delicate beauty
my beloved's soul
-----
naked by desire
naked to her poet's mind
naked to the world
-----
moonlit lovers joined
on love's cerulean sea
one silver wonder
-----
if our tight embrace
could be made much tighter still
bodies become one
-----
words thrust deep inside
release seminal meanings
give birth to desires
-----
i know i should stop
leave this love of love behind
that's also called death
-----
no set agenda
except love and poetry
I've written for you
-----
in secret daydreams
departs bound for decadence
transit fantasy
-----
i love you so much
your pleasure is my desire
in all that you choose
-----
am i concerned with
who and what and how you love
only that you are loved
-----
you were never mine
nor were you and i meant to be
except in poems
-----
sad old cyrano
roxanne will only learn his love
when death comes for him
-----
the morning after
the sins didn't seem like sins
but more like blessings
-----
how long i have longed
waiting for the you you are
to become my muse
-----
soft gentle maiden
warrior princess in leather
depends on who holds her
-----
the shutter captures
her most daring exposure
photographer sighs
