Rest Ballerina and Other Poems Written January 18, 2020
By Donovan Baldwin
rest ballerina
how arduous your efforts
creating beauty
-----
ensnared by my words
bound by ardent poetry
willing submissive
-----
sunset's exposé
colorful production in
cinematic hues
-----
fore my yearning eyes
you pass aware of my gaze
and power you wield
-----
without touch i feel
without sight i can see you
always there for me
-----
written on my skin
poured into my thirsting mouth
your amorous words
-----
beneath the sky's fire
lit by sunset we ignite
bursting into flames
-----
beneath our blanket
we lovers perform our own
rising at the dawn
-----
poet i thought i
wrote you into existence
but learned you were real
-----
Most eclectic bookcase,
Built by my father into one wall,
Floor to ceiling with books
Literary guild,
Book of the Month Club,
Bible and Britannica
There I found
The old tattered book of poems,
Hunted Moby Dick,
Rode with the Musketeers,
And read of many troubles
I was too young to understand,
But, I learned at this school, this
Most eclectic bookcase.
-----
she sparkles glitters
a plethora of colors
my dancer of light
