TWICE BLUSHING FLOWER, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, MARCH 28, 2023
twice blushing flower first blush at touch of his words... second her own thoughts
-----
time to taste your love
soft love spilled on you from me...
becomes part of us
-----
alone in darkness
i play scenes over again...
we have not yet lived
-----
reaches out for her
when the storm breaks over him...
her love's safe haven
-----
a specific heart
not one simple type to find...
laying on love's shore
-----
with the rise of dawn
life and i awaken to...
daylight dreams of you
-----
feels she's not worthy
not aware that he treasures her...
just the way she is
-----
he whispers nothings
sets them free on summer breeze...
in hopes she will hear
----
a lifelong battle
carried so many secrets...
burdens of others
-----
not bound to earth
nightly we visit the moon...
to be together
-----
riding wild currents
as we swim in love's river...
caught in its rapids
-----
shame on her some say
she doesn't feel she does wrong...
her lover agrees
-----
i once rode the storms
playfully defied wild winds...
now but memories
-----
light begins to dim
old dark memories return...
with sad loneliness
-----

THE NUDES OF RENOIR, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN WRITTEN FEBRUARY 21, 2020
By Donovan Baldwin
the nudes of renoir
tangible impressionism
body and senses
-----
quivering with want
awaiting satisfaction
anticipation
-----
undulating need
dance to a lusty refrain
only she can hear
-----
alone in her lust
desiring hot caresses
what's a girl to do
-----
glistening body
tastes of salt and her desire
as i drink her love
-----
gliding cross your skin
fingertips arousing me
as they arouse you
-----
flowing through my veins
the drug which you feed to me
within your kisses
-----
touch the bloom's middle
it opens in surrender
yields up its honey
-----
saved one precious rose
placed it on a shelf somewhere
reminds me of you
-----
let my touches move
through your shy secret garden
of blushing petals
-----
do you know my world
of flowers and sunrises
and thoughts about you
-----
carved from pure marble
lightly clad nymph emerges...
seeking a lover
-----
