WHATEVER YOU'VE DONE, AND OTHER POETY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 20, 2024
call it sin or otherwise
i'm glad i found you
-----
strokes of poetry
words thrust within her pages
fill her with meanings
-----
you appeared i smiled
smile that faded as you did
leaving me alone
-----
once my words have burned
not even ashes remain
of love they contained
-----
when the words all fade
and I've but one poem left
i'll write it for you
-----
when i needed you
somehow the universe knew
and brought me to you
-----
as if a goddess
you seat yourself beside me
creating heaven
-----
the things she taught
to arouse and satisfy
still good memories
-----
soldier poet prey to
siege of temporary lust
wages battle with words
-----
the words she lets fall
trash to her - treasure to him
turned into poems
-----
she prepared herself
stripped and lay upon the slab
for the sacrifice
-----
