By Donovan Baldwin

picture of lovers
photograph in black and white...
we can see their souls

Inspired by a quote from Ted Grant, Canadian photojournalist.

"When you photograph people in color you photograph their clothes. When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their soul!"

-----

i once knew these words
ancient friends who through the night
told me tales of you

-----

birds goodbye to night
serves too as sunrise greeting...
poets understand

-----

cups fall as they may
warm loving drink fills my mouth...
imbibed from the source

-----

resting my tired head
upon welcoming bosom...
she croons me love songs

-----

she's my food and drink
savory feast of loving...
with lots of dessert

-----

night's arms enfold with
bold kisses and caresses...
a secret i'll keep

-----
