CAME TO ME NAKED, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, NOVEMBER 2, 2025

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

DONOVAN BALDWIN
came to me naked
your body and soul laid bare
trusting in my love

all that you hid behind
cast aside so i could see
desires wants and needs

so bravely revealed
how could i not fall in love
with one so much like me

-----

two secret lovers
touch each other with hot words
saved and repeated

-----

learning to love you
before seeing or touching
could be how it should be

-----

just love the poet
there's no need to love the man
his time's almost done

-----

treats no tricks says she
as she sits upon my knee
wearing eve's costume

-----

ere this angel fell
stole eve from the devil's arms
to love forever

-----

lovers cannot touch
comparing their dreams amid
ghosts of dead roses

-----

bathing in his words
bravely exposing herself
untamed she rises

-----

i'm not one to love
ragged shell of what i was
just my mind still young

-----

old age catches up
slowly body succumbs to
time's relentless tide

-----

never a boyfriend
or a lover at this age
just an old poet

-----

hurry and wake love
so many sins we desire
await our passion

----

gown of see-through words
corset of sheer poetry
poet's boudoir pic

----

a passionate glow
illuminates as we explore
our fiery secrets

-----

i helpless hopeless
time rolls inexorably
destroying all dreams

-----

briefly she was here
wrapping her words around mine
and left me echoes

-----

can't we just share joy
the pleasure of each other
love all that matters

-----

modern streets not troy
no helen she but human
yet i fight for her

-----
