MORE THAN A SHADOW, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 12, 2024
more than a shadow
you are creature of magic
dancing in my dreams
skirt flares about you
naked legs so happily
molten in moonlight
excited cheeks flushed
your gaily panting bosom
promises on your skin
-----
daughter of no king
nor elfin sprite of legend
my mystic woman
-----
words about her wrists
naked to his sentences
lashed by poetry
-----
proudly she displays
secrets no one else may see
shameless in her love
-----
no maidens thank you
old poet warmed by matron muse
finds the sweetest words
-----
she turned me away
because she was too perfect
all i ever desired
-----
have you spotted it
what i wrote for you today
a smile on my lips
-----
she's got a secret
sweet gentle teddy bear
ferocious in bed
-----
came into my life
making me reveal myself
then she disappeared
-----
birth until today
no one's ever wanted me
words perhaps not me
-----
sometimes remembers
all the times that he was spurned
the one time he wasn't
-----
of all the women
only one ever loved me
one i left behind
-----
of beasts of the earth
useless sort of animal
this poet creature
-----
best done in private
this form of masturbation
writing of poems
-----
erotic poet
an amateur botanist
exploring orchids
-----
private festival of oral arts
delicious confections whipped up
sweet berries and dripping cream
-----
untroubled angel
in my arms as sin begins
sweet demonic grin
-----
first in our family
so odd he's a poet
try to ignore him
-----
intense the image
rainbow flaming black and white
stripped of its colors
-----
my one true lover
the woman who reads my words
knows that they're for her
-----
she seems innocent
and perhaps in ways she is
also sensual
both personas stunning
visible in poetry
which betrays her soul
fires that burned within
needs and wants they failed to grasp
love that caused her pain
-----
i'll not bother you
until you've invited me
back into your arms
-----
sweatshirt and flannel
believe me YOU are sexy
it's not the clothes dear
-----
boots and mini skirt
and that sassy walk of hers
smile over her shoulder
-----
A soldier, a poet, an adventurer, yet how boyish he seemed in sleep. She looked at him and rolled up in her blanket, the saddle for her pillow. As she drifted off to sleep, he woke, looked at her... a soldier, a poet, and adventurer... how angelic she looked in the moonlight... the memory of their lovemaking flooded his mind and body... and he loved with a love he could never speak.
-----
ready for adventures
my body can longer handle
but i don't give a damn...
let's do it, baby
-----
i pretend you care
vut no one has ever before
why on earth would you

YOUR FAVORITE TOYS, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 11, 2024
your favorite toys
stashed with your erotica
for your private times
-----
those wonderful words
that strip away your outer garb
leaving you naked
-----
no single person
can catch all the love that spills from me
too much love is lonely
-----
time to time pauses
remembering the poet
who's kept her secrets
-----
touching an orchid
eyes and fingers follow curves
wet with loving dew
-----
herculean task
displaying feelings with words
instead of kisses
------
words took you with them
on that journey poets know
while i waited here
-----
never spoke a word
yet he screamed to her of love
from the written page
-----
while the world fails me
deep within my wicked dreams
you and i make love
-----
one treasured moment
let's look at one another
and call it foreplay
-----
she's much respected
socially acceptable
her flames well hidden
-----
you have changed my world
with real words imagined smile
yourself as you are

IN THE MOONLIGHT AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 8, 2024
Another natural thing she stands
Bare and naked worshipping Selene,
Eyes lifted skyward, arms outstretched
Welcoming the silver pouring over her body
Aware of how she fills her lover's eyes,
Smiling as, lowering her eyes she sees,
His naked adoration that she,
Naked in moonlight, has inspired.
-----
makes it seem easy
writes me love words that i read
perfect seduction
-----
i immerse myself
salt sweet nectar of venus
font of my desire
-----
pour myself into
your dry and empty places
so long lacking love
you eagerly suckle
brew of mutual desires
keeping some to share
pouring from yourself
filling my empty places
saving more for later
-----
words from a stranger
touch in most forbidden ways
words from a lover
-----
berries dipped in cream
sucking her hard-tipped candies
delicious desserts
-----
as you would for me
secure that love will bring me back
i will wait for you
-----
i dare give you love
knowing that you must explore
love that you would dare
-----
kneel naked darling
presenting yourself proudly
goddess of desire
-----
yes you pose naked
for i choose to write you so
poetic license
-----
fingers in the stream
seek the source of ecstasy
she paddles upstream
-----
near me in the dark
ancient paean she intones
fills me with desire
-----
so often pleasure
others will define as sin
badly misused word
-----
i am consumed by
all the colors of her fire
a passionate byre
-----
storm surge of my tongue
separating petals
striking blossom's core
-----
i will let you go
for you must be free to leave
if i'm to keep you
-----
though goddess you be
don't mock my adoration
respect runs both ways
-----
naked before me
prepared to give herself for
true and honest love
-----
never weep for me
the sad way my life ended
words all i had left
-----
no beauty in myself
let me paint you with my words
pose for me a while
-----
each day spent alone
only living through my words
until night's darkness
-----
it's lonely this place called life
-----
behind simple words
i hide my heartfelt desires
my wish to touch you
-----
play music softly
so that i may hear my thoughts
singing about you

YOU IMPRESS ME, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 5, 2024
You impress me...
The way your words
Carry the tactile message
Of body to body,
Tongue to tongue,
The taste of the inner you,
Drippings of desire,
Gathered in licking kisses,
Shared without shame
In the form of poetry,
For the moment,
A liquid feast for lovers,
Bound to taste the most
Intimate messages
Beyond words.
-----
eternal question
what is it like to be loved
don't know the answer
------
i've never seen you
yet how beautiful you are
your words bear witness
-----
tied to her poet
lashed by her own desires
the freedom she seeks
-----
aria amour
beautiful ecstatic song
bursting from within
-----
withholding pleasure
until she can wait no more
achieving climax
-----
never enough words
so we choose another way
with hugs and kisses
-----
a night of whispers
stories told by stroking hands
with ecstatic sighs
-----
beautiful her song
the way she pulls each note forth
as her fingers strum
-----
no one to save me
on the slippery road through hell
that others call life
------
smiling her soul ablaze
for her poetic arsonist
who loves to watch her flames
-----
wanting you to be you
not put on a show for me
sexier that way
-----
wonder who i am
for i belong to no one
and none will claim me
-----
dancing in the rain
she's filled with liquid music
raindrops notes on skin
------
she's sexy when wild
so unladylike and free
as eve might have been
-----
in the lonesome night
i await your messages
though my hopes grow dim
-----
who used whom i ask
which was humiliated
left trembling alone
-----
a poet's subject
once marked she lived on
ever immortal
-----
this poem's gentle
the next wildly erotic
you will be in both
-----
words those moving things
that found their way inside her
touching her pleasures
-----
poetry brings her
to a sort of ecstasy
at the tips of words
-----
yet though i will dream
dream is all it will remain
in which you visit

MY DECEITFUL WEB - A POEM BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
Path I create with its deceitful web
Verses strung across the road you tread.
Each whispered word, each stroke of pen,
To guide you to the gate, to lure you in.
Mysteries and riddles in my rhymes,
Secrets soft as the tinkling of chimes,
Hidden in remarks on day and night,
Words change meanings by candlelight.
Through the lines hints of longing flow,
As if recalling some time long ago,
When you and I with souls on fire,
Lived lives of love and sated mad desire.
A dark when embers rose up bright and high,
And your blaze burst out a wordless cry.
In silver moonlit streams shadows interlaced,
In most loving ways they are embraced.
All these secrets hidden in the ink
The spaces which provide a vital link.
With key in hand unlock the poet's gate,
Heart unravels mysteries I create.
Find the clues, the secrets that lie hidden,
Walk the path to pleasures long forbidden.
Your hand bold within this poet's grip,
Come with me upon love's joyous trip.
You and I seek love's eternity,
Hidden in my poems there lies a key.
Step into the trap if you will only dare
Cage your heart with mine within my snare.
Let tapestry fall, hiding us away,
As in secret our love games we play.
Our story passed along from age to age,
We two forever joined in love's dear cage.

POEM: WRITING WITH MY SOUL'S DARK INK
Writing with my soul's dark ink
Words quicker than I think,
Molten flowing thoughts reveal,
A way for poet's heart to heal...
Not sugar sweet nor honey gold
But mere honest words are told,
The secrets buried deep inside,
That love demands I shall not hide.
Stolen glances, pounding heart
The distance that keeps us apart,
The need to see, and touch, and kiss
The needs and wants that we two miss.
Fingers that reach but cannot find
The body hid somewhere behind
Land and oh, the endless sea
Which ever flows twixt her and me.
The laughter that should loud resound,
The oaths by which we should be bound,
The whispers passed by candlelight
Lovers entwined by dark of night.
No ink, no words, can touch the skin.
This separation is a sin.
But, perhaps, these words find grace,
Somehow take my missing place.
Your whispered name upon my lips,
Your phantom at my fingertips.
These poor words all I can give,
And love as long as I shall live.
Ink will fade and paper crumble
But, these words, sincere though humble,
Pressed to your breast, to beating heart,
May cross the distance we're apart.

I HEARD THE WIND SPEAK OF YOU - A POEM BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
I heard the wind speak of you.
The waves whispered secrets
That I could barely understand,
And yet, and yet, I craved to meet
This fabled creature never found
On this earth in this life, until,
One day I wrote a poem and
I felt your eyes upon it and
Following the gaze found at last
The hidden woman I had sought.

BEAT OF RHYTHM THRUST OF THIGH, AN ORIGINAL POEM BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
beat of rhythm thrust of thigh
dancer in firelight as i,
entranced, enthralled, on edge of sin,
watch her wicked dance begin
the tempo rises, feet a blur
till all that i can see is her
stripped naked by my burning gaze
burnished by the campfire's blaze
her breasts and hips in constant motion
waves upon desire's deep ocean
a riptide i cannot deny
a siren call i'll not defy,
for sake of love i'll take the chance,
join her in her fervid dance,
my back turned on society,
into the dance of her and me

WHORLS OF THE ROSE, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS, NOVEMBER 11, 2023
By Donovan Baldwin
whorls of the rose
soft folds of orchid petals
dewdrops on the bloom
a tiny bud opening
caress of morning breeze
rising heat of the sun
sensuous nature
-----
since she was a girl
thought she must be innocent
and then she met him
whirl of confusion
love which had been sought so long
was not pristine pure
seething love and lust
a helping of sacrifice
and hidden desires
-----
seldom black and white
we are complicated art
rainbows of colors
in classical oils
pastels of watercolor
sharp edged acrylics
naked in our essence
humans and angels alike
pass for each other
-----
love has many forms
not all nights are orgies of
physical delights
candlelit dinner
a glance across a table
shared appetizer
strolling public ways
holding hands like shy children
smiling at past sins
-----
feeds me a morsel
covered with a shining sauce
her fingers dripping
-----
lover learns to read
tones and textures of her skin
secret messages
-----
fearing who might hear
she stifles the urgent cries
as desires explode
a quiet nova
in her universe within
she soars among stars
ecstasy is born
deep within her inner space
secret love silent
-----
a look and a word
tearing her garments to rags
she brings him her heat
-----
somehow miracle
we two drops of love's ocean
form our single sea
-----
opens for his words
and his penetrating gaze
tacit submission
in quiet repose
awaits tactile sensations
feeling his poems
featherlight touches
aroused anticipation
urgent crescendo
-----
lips pressed to your cup
its warm fragile edge yielding
pouring forth desires
-----
her garments hang tattered
revealing then concealing
she sways with her need
-----
poem or prayer
lips worshipping each other
a timeless temple
-----
kneeling she told him
i know where I want to go
please lead me astray
-----
wish i wish for her
with me may she ever be
free to be herself
-----
my poems as snares
i smile each time you appear
caught for a moment
-----
i summon demons
who come to me as poets
to light my darkness
-----
abandoned angel
who became his every wish
in their new eden
-----
she met the poet
took his words and walked away
couldn't stand the man
-----
left without his muse
his pouch of words hangs empty
even echoes gone
-----
be who you must be
you owe a poet nothing
leave him to his words
-----
treasuring their touch
naked among autumn's leaves
her poet watching
-----
she chooses the game
then she picks out the toys...
the rule is pleasure
-----
singing in freedom
dark rose dances in the breeze
before her poet
-----
poet offers images
praises the sound of her song
how she dances for him
-----
lovers share the stars
the sunsets and sunrises...
universe of love
-----
poetry's lonely
just me and a few old words
that once meant something
-----
what's it like to love
and to feel that love retured
to have someone care

YOU SPEAK TO ME - A POEM
Even without words,
You speak to me.,,
Of quiet walks
On moonlit shores,
Love songs softly played,
On old guitars,
Of candles fluttering
In an evening breeze,
As gossamer curtains
Dance to the same
Unheard music...
Of stories laughed at,
Lies disbelieved with
A smile and upraised eyebrow
And, quiet, special looks,
In private pauses...
Of fingers touching
Across an old table,
Marked with years,
And promises of more,
For those sharing there...
Of wishes, dreams, desires,
Granted and still in
The hands of Fate,
And, silent prayers,
For their fulfillment...
Of times gone by,
And yet to come,
History not yet made,
But, with luck,
The finest moments,
Of them all...
Of all this and more...
Even without words,
You speak to me.

SWEET REVELATIONS AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, OCTOBER 5, 2023
Sweet revelation
When dawn's loose robe falls open,
Splendid secrets loosed,
Bosom of the day above
Ecstasy's hidden entrance
#tanka
-----
fingers fluttering
almost too fast to follow...
summoning magic
i her student watch
learning her intricacies...
routes of her pleasure
slowly she guides me
giving wordless instructions...
gasps end the session
-----
she's not a plaything
and yet she can be playful...
and there's a difference
-----
not overwhelming
but always quietly there...
the way he loves her
-----
in the night beneath the stars
we made the most intimate love...
without ever getting undressed
-----
explore each other
lost within our wilderness...
private adventures
-----
on soft blank pages
i write lascivious lines...
verse that sounds like you
-----
so like the ocean
foams across a hidden reef...
my desire crashes
-----
ready warrior
sword unsheathed standing before...
passion's mad onslaught
-----
hear your silent song
writing how the words would sound...
if i could sing you
-----
drop drop drop of words
she arches with joyful pain...
as poetry burns her
writhes beneath words
as the poet's candle drips...
ink which burns like wax
as our lips bind us
trails of burning poetry...
inflame new secrets
-----
at last it's autumn
and all the trees are on fire...
glorious flames before dying
-----
i write poetry
though my words thrill you inside...
you keep them secret
-----
butterflies flutter
and a smile crosses her lips...
as his words tickle

UPON YOUR SOFT LIPS, AND OTHER POEMS
upon your soft lips
fingertips write poetry...
with punctuation
-----
her flower blossoms
in a field of dark desires...
nutured by his love
-----
beneath silent skies
here and there a lonely star...
lost lovers wander
------
road of love and life
who knows what's beyond the curve...
perhaps journey's start
-----
brief intimate touch
unplanned a passing gesture...
can convey so much
-----
within liquid dreams
her body floats with pleasure...
after storm's passage
-----
ribbon loose falling
she stands her body revealed...
her present to him
-----
simply touch my cheek
look at me as if i'm yours...
hold me a moment
-----
each word a new touch
finding its way inside her...
caressing her soul
-----
true meaningful loves
impose impossible tasks...
such as being free
-----
this old gray flower
turns and faces sun again...
blossoms one more day
-----
oh the sensations
love's first kisses and touches...
indescribable
-----
bee led to a flower...
offered sweet nectar
can't refuse a sip
-----
fingers reading you
darkness does not hinder me...
nor hide your whispers
----
she's vibrant colors
sunrise sunset hues of flame...
i am moon's silver
-----
her secret garden
where she laughs with butterflies...
touched by tender wings
-----
such a sinful saint
angel who long lost his wings...
but kept his honor
-----
and without warning
dark clouds begin their descent...
take over my mind
-----

I'D LOVE TO PAINT YOU, AND OTHER POEMS
treasured possession
sometimes fragile as crystal...
her genuine love
-----
someone once hurt her
betrayed the trust she offered...
he must win it back
-----
it was never fair
he asked the impossible...
made he feel she failed
-----
together daring
excursions into fantasy...
immoral support
-----
wonders at his touch
odd to see so many scars...
on such tender hands
-----
comes into the room
with no words brings him pleasure...
shares the love they shared
-----
after sharing love
trembling with the memories...
mutual repose
-----
rain pounds our bodies
lovers' heartbeats thundering...
within our own storm
-----
with him at her side
among dangerous desires...
she explores herself
-----
touch i've yet to feel
kiss i want to remember...
a coming embrace
-----
i'd love to paint you
an image instead of words...
to keep by my side
-----
a lovely flower
wild blossom in rumpled sheets...
in our private bed

WHAT MAKES POETRY AND OTHER POEMS
what makes poetry
long ago kiss an embrace...
set down into words
-----
tears upon petals
desire's glistening diamonds...
coaxed forth by kisses
-----
crumbling old relic
ancient beyond salvation...
restored by her love
-----
sinful wine we share
a magnificent vintage...
spilling from our mouths
-----
best shirt plaid flannel
coffee cup that's cracked and stained...
the world is my domain
-----
slow dance to old songs
touching ways that lovers do...
on mind and body
-----
reading his strange words
which reach inside and touch her...
ways that make her smile
-----
in your eyes i see
burning desires of your soul...
dancing flames you hide
-----
bound by webs of words
quivers as they touch her soul...
crying out with joy
-----
how can this be real
ecstasy cannot be touched...
touches so deeply
-----
soft waves barely seen
leave phosphorescent kisses...
on sand's moonglow lips
-----
at our moon's command
for a moment stars are still...
so we remember
-----
struggles against pain
fighting each day's new battles...
warrior princess
-----
writing poetry
often i can but echo...
the words which chose me
-----
in search of pleasure
she immerses herself in...
pools of poetry
-----
how it excites her
the moment he moans her name...
when she's all he feels
-----
understood by her
is a greatest gift to me...
she understands love
-----
she shared her secrets
surprised how many matched mine...
she's such a good girl
-----
can't conquer her soul
must wait until she's ready...
reveals it herself
-----
sometimes animal
she comes and unlocks my cage...
running free with me

DAWN'S FINGERS TOUCHING, AND OTHER MICROPOETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
dawn's fingers touching
with warm anticipation...
her blossom unfolds
-----
where are all my words
to describe the pain inside...
i must free myself
-----
lets her secrets go
all the pain she's held inside...
and carried alone
-----
love's warm wine flows
lip to lip we share a toast...
drinking her desires
-----
a lantern of hope
burning with dreams and desires...
keeps the dark at bay
-----
his lady on fire
what's a gentleman to do...
but help fan her flames
----
bird leaps from her nest
kept aloft on pleasure's wings...
not willing to land
=====
in his midnight dreams
she becomes a poet's wish...
wearing his best words
----
we the sun and moon
in our tiny universe...
lighting each other
-----
she begs him to write
all the bold unspoken words...
that can mean so much
-----
our souls decided
that we should make one poem...
of our wants and needs
-----
she stirs in her sleep
a whisper escapes her lips...
far away i hear
-----
hid her sins from me
until she knew i loved her...
made her sins holy
-----
In a quandry of desire,
Seeking to satisfy
Needs so long secret,
Yet, how to fit it in
The love they share
She invites him to
Join her in her
Pleasures, teaching,
Touching, guiding,
Apt pupil he, who,
Quickly learns to
Bring her lessons
To their climax.
-----
the toys by her bed
set the tone for the evening...
the rules flexible

PLAYFUL EAGER FINGERS (AN EROTIC POEM)
His fingers eagerly playful,
Willing in their travels
Yet, lost along their way
Through her forbidden lands,
She takes them in hers,
Willingly guides them,
Shows them the way into
Her most pleasurable places,
Pointing out with pressure,
Whispered directions
And gasps of pleasure
At their grasp of her desires,
Until she sings out with gladness,
Her fingers wrapped with theirs
Having reached together
That most beautiful of moments,
That, while wonderful in itself,
Has extra meaning when
She arrives to the applause
Of his playful eager fingers.

POEM: WRITE TO ME OF LOVE
Write to me of love
Both sacred and profane.
Draw for me secrets
Within your pounding heart.
Song of the ends of
Exhilaration and ecstasy
Of your mind and body.
Step boldly, shyly forward
Eternally exposed by
Trailing transparent words.
How to describe you
Two simple words say so much...
Passionate woman
Write me honest words
Toss veils and cloaks far aside...
Show me who you are
Exposing at last
Your naked soul
Spilling out her words
Poetry in blood red ink...
Ichor of my muse

Come near and be my stranger,
Pretend we've never met before
In other lands and lives.
Let's be this moment's lovers
Free to fall in love as
Rapidly as we met, ignorant
Of past sins and obligations,
Content to spend this night,
In its condensed eternity before
Life and time move us
Apart once more.

POEM: SIMPLICITY OF HER SEDUCTION
Totally unaware and unintended,
The naturalness of the woman
Who could not believe her own beauty,
No matter how often I might tell her,
That spoke to me and drew me closer
Heated by the reality of her own inner
And most genuine passion which
I could see but she felt compelled to hide,
Became my guiding torch, my muse,
And put the erotic spirit into my poetry,
As I desired to love her fully the only way
I ever could, even if she never knew the truth.
