POETRY - TWO SAD LOVERS CURSED, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 16, 2024
 |
| By Ron Hicks |
their most powerful desires
cannot defeat fate
-----
two tidal lovers
a sea of exclamations
a pounding of waves
-----
below the surface
it's so sweet resting down here
in your soul's ocean
-----
mid shadows of fire
there among the leaping flames
your image dances
-----
powerful her tides
strong the waves which cast about
we entwined lovers
-----
i cannot be one
my helmet and my rifle
as true as my pen
-----
kissing your closed eyes
telling you secrets with touches
smiling at your smile

HOW MANY POEMS HAVE YOU CAUSED, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 13, 2024
How many moments of desire?
What magic power do you exert,
Over the passage of poet's hand?
Without awareness, you have caused
Hours of creativity, and quiet sadness,
As one who loved you held his tongue,
Pouring his love into poetry
You admired but did not know
Was meant for you.
-----
started as a kiss
became her teeth on my neck
oral tradition
-----
exposed self to all
and drenched by seminal words
a poet was born
-----
friction summoned flames
hidden below her surface
waiting to be wanted
-----
consulting desires
as she selects tonight's toy
evening's entertainment
-----
kneeling supplicant
attitude of worship
muffled orisons
-----
sweet pacific sprite
sharing secrets in a smile
and poems she likes
-----
secret she can't see
doesn't know she's beautiful
and so i tell her
-----
pelting of raindrops
fingertips on naked skin
arousing tattoo
she stretches arches
an offering to nature
and her lover's touch
raindrops and fingers
causing body to tingle
with desires for more
-----
her body love's storm
lightning flares within her breast
erupts as pleasure
-----
brought me her secrets
and that night we unwrapped them
trying each one out
-----
bring me your secrets
in the darkness of the night
we'll see how they fit
-----
look and you'll see me
night's lightning my lantern
as i look for you
-----
recalls the moment
when she became immortal
in the words he wrote
-----
aching in her loins
so painful her eager tips
in need of love's touch
-----
he did not touch her
in her mind memories did
what happened was real
-----
i cannot keep you
i'll give you wings teach you to fly
if only you'd stay
-----
pursues ecstasy
lips open as sighs escape
the body she's freed
-----
a voluptuous world
golden orgasmic sunsets
sensuously folded flower petals
-----
how it's always been
no one's ever wanted me
always been alone
-----
was it the candlelight
glow illuminating love
made me dream to much
-----
yes love passed me by
but the muses gave me words
for my tortured soul
-----
it's so odd you know
life dedicated to love
yet never been loved
-----
you cannot imagine
how that sweet smile of yours
has excited me
-----
did not mean to shame you
excited by your natural smile
and my desire to kiss you

I HAVE LEARNED FROM SAINTS, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 9, 2024
And from my own sins
Injuries and aches
A part of life we endure
On the path to
Becoming ourselves
-----
between cloth and skin
she will gladly let him in
her private playroom
-----
amazing inner burst
that which is release to her
flowing from her body
-----
the love i've given
so much i've lavished and lost
never to be returned
-----
did you really love
or simply need me to love
pretend mine was ours
-----
what most will say
to make you believe they love
will be changed later
-----
what i said i'd do
the way i said you would be loved
is what i will do
-----
reached the end of love one day
learned that i still had more to give
even to those who never loved me
-----
mortal man of pain and love
met a goddess of love and pain
and each made the other whole
-----
so often you've appeared
in guises of many women
whom i loved and watched
as you've walked away
leaving me wondering
if and when and how you
would truly manifest
-----
savory as sea water
sensual as seasonal tides
stroking our senses
-----
you're not asking sins
just a partner to explore
pleasure's many paths
-----
inner sun warms her
her juices begin to flow
as his dawn rises
-----
afraid of that first step
she grasps his hand for support
safely uncertain
-----
my hand grasping yours
you dare to submit yourself
to loving desires
-----
touch of lips and tongue
bringing her sweet bloom to life
with its' crystal dew
-----
how your beauty shines
desires polished and refined
by love's many touches
-----
too long others' toy
a moment of salvation
handed her own heaven
-----
a room with a stranger
kinky secret thing she did
remembered forever
-----
that's a lovely smile
although it's not meant for me
i'm glad i saw it
-----
i didn't need a yes
as long as there was maybe
i was willing to stay

WHEN HER DESIRES FRIGHTEN HER, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 7, 2024
she sometimes must hide
when her desires frighten her
then he brings her home
-----
controls your body
holds your hands above your head
you accept his gift
-----
she floats in poems
a penetration of words
find their way inside
-----
bare shoulders to me
lips and fingers on your neck
kisses at your throat
------
take time for beauty
not all poems come from pain

WANDER THROUGH YOUR WORDS, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 6, 2024
wander through your words
collect clouds of ideas
from dancing raindrops
-----
wetness of the world
filling her and cleansing her
poems on her skin
each striking drop a kiss
each stream down flesh a caress
she turns to the rain
naked bohemian
dancing in a summer rain
pelted by raindrops
-----
we set two limits
on the manner of our love
safety and respect
-----
when her demons howl
she knows he'll be at her side
helping control them
-----
demons holding back
dare approach with permission
as he guards her gates
-----
the vulva orchid
duplicates in flower form
desire's beginnings
-----
seas I've longed for you
mid the tidal ecstasies
quiet pools of love
-----
petals loosening
rose desperately opens
to spill its nectar
-----
(NSFW)
She is soaked in rain
The outer rain of nature,
The inner of her nature,
Reverberations and vibrations,
Shaking petals, causing dew
To precipitate
As the storm's thunder,
Shakes the stem of
Her eager blossom,
Separating petals
Into pathways
Followed by
Her lover's tongue,
As he drinks from
Her delicious deluge.
-----
no sin in pleasure
nothing wrong with ecstasy
or mutual love
-----
exciting unknown
not knowing what's coming next
but it will be good
-----
i dreamed that you cared
though it could be but a dream
such things don't come true
-----
you must come tell me
what should your punishment be
for running away
-----
she kneels before me
prepared for her punishment
naked and ready
-----
tonight's special treat
spanking of both front and back
until body weeps
-----
it's not me she loves
but what my words do to her
taken to extremes
-----
i'll be hurt again
that's how it always happens
when love goes one way
-----
strip naked love
lay yourself across my lap
ass ready for spanking
-----
i love you naked
i have never held that back
beauty of body
-----
this is who i am
please don't tell me to change
then i won't be me
-----
gentle trap he set
loving words of woven silk
bound about her heart
-----
her lovely darkness
beyond common daring use
hid her special sins
-----
if i were painter
i would paint so many nudes
all of them of you
-----
asking honestly
have you any idea
how beautiful you are
-----
body an altar
holy how we mortals sin
you are my goddess
-----
how rare your beauty
standing naked all revealed
idol for lover
-----
he indulges her
curious explorations
carnal adventures
-----
he found her perfect
but she never wanted him
yet became poems
-----
nope i'm not perfect
but i haven't changed a bit
i'm still the same guy
-----
can you see the truth
i haven't changed at all
you've just seen more
-----
only a poet
never really real to her
just meaningless words

WHEN YOUR WORDS APPEAR, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 4, 2024
when your words appear
i know poetry's arrived
because it's from you
-----
you frighten yourself
intensity of desires
bursting into flame
-----
in the august rain
drops tapping out a lover's tune
background to kisses
-----
didn't mind your sins
and then you accepted mine
shared and compared
-----
could have anyone
somehow she picked a poet
fairy tale of course
-----
wish my love to love
who and when and how she will
that is how i love
-----
suddenly you're here
granting me in loving ways
the gift of yourself
-----
you are the name of love
the delightful figure in the night
who shares the stars and moon
-----
never again to know
wild embrace of willing arms
the arching of delight
surging cries of ecstasy
-----
she so touched my heart
by giving me all of herself
entirely trusting
-----
how long will linger
thoughts of what we might have had
if fate were kinder
-----
i left you behind
took my memories with me
cruel to both of us
never forgot you
-----
watch for you daily
wishing and wondering if...
that's it that's all... if
-----
never been a lover
yet i've always been in love
with you and you and you
------
use me she told me
and so i did what she said
to break my own heart
-----
never weep for me
pain has all been caused by me
by loving too much
-----
life's been a struggle
how'd i ever get this far
without dying
-----
i typed love letters
well disguised as poetry
written just for you
-----
her eyes filled with love
lips to speak of sweet desire
yet remains faceless
-----
legs wrapped around me
held up by the wall and me
sex in the hallway
-----
would you if you could
do that thing you've not yet dared
yet dream of daily
-----
downpour of desire
daunting deluge of delight
delicious desserts
-----
wind stirs autumn leaves
raising them in colorful swirls
like billowing skirts
-----
you left me for dead
yet somehow i found the strength
to follow forever
-----
picking through your words
finding out your needs and wants
saving them in poems
-----
i write you often
yet you answer so seldom
yet i write again
-----
sprawled upon the bed
lovers' new positions of passion
tangled in each other
--...
capturing fingers
tightly woven pathway leads
him to her grotto
-----
i'm a silent man
just fingers know how to speak
i hope you hear them
-----
never heard you say
that you cared one bit for me
like i cared fo you
-----
he immerses her
in another baptism
of a carnal source
-----
i did it for you
write a poem about me
make me immortal

ALONE TOGETHER, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 3, 2024
alone together
hand in hand we stroll your paths
among your petals
-----
when YOU are ready
that's when the time will be right
let no one push you
-----
I've never met you
yet think about you often
set you down in words
-----
it's not about me
but i'm having so much fun
watching you take wing
-----
in some of your words
mark me down as accomplice
for the part i played
-----
i dreamed you loved me
something that can never be
let me have the dream
-----
looked into his sky
where she found a different star
pulsing with desire
-----
serene in the knowledge
that they'll never be perfect
accept for each other
-----
yours the only heart
calling to me with heartbeats
that my heart can hear
-----
it amazes me
so many poems you've caused
sharing your purpose
-----
hooked on poet's words
poems make her strip her soul
exposing herself
-----
keep my fire alive
feed me the fuel for my flames
your burning desires
-----
in love it matters
that our pleasing ourselves
makes each other happy
-----
holding her he asks
do your desires frighten you
let's conquer them together
-----
do i respect you
despite daring words you write
or because you dare write them
i hope you know why
-----
i always seek you
whether i'm happy or sad
because i always need you
-----
some won't understand
the way poetry releases
the body and mind
-----
hammer of fingers
taut and straining vibrations
shatter need's crystal
-----
why do i not speak
it's not my place or time
i am not wanted
-----
odd this memory
i remember loving you
in lives not YET lived
-----
i would give you all
if i had anything to give
other than poems
-----
poet falls silent
without words i am nothing
just whispers on a breeze
-----
i recall my youth
delicious and delightful sins
committed now in dreams
-----
much as i desire
you will never be my love
except in my heart
-----
she desires but fears
this offering of herself
for the sake of love
he'll never allow
the indiscriminate use
of body or soul
yet he will guide her
into darkness she desires
guard and protect her
-----
perhaps tomorrow
the day my love returns to me
back from her darkness
-----
naked you're floating
a dance upon my back
face down on my skin

SOME SECRET PICTURES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 2, 2024
some secret pictures
taken from a secret place
reveal her secrets
-----
her hands harvesting
summer rains of her desires
her lover arrives
-----
man seeks to return
to the font from which he sprang
taste its salt sea tang
-----
she has found her place
within my mind's wild pleasures
necessary to them
-----
your body my page
skin quivers beneath my pen
as words come alive
-----
gasp of excitement
words like eager butterflies
fill her with pleasure
-----
from its hidden place
she selects a pleasure toy
and one of his poems
-----
a story for her
rousing and erotic tale
she has often dreamed
-----
always at her side
he helps explore her dark desires
the fuel for her fires
-----
as lace revealed her
she recognized the woman
she was meant to be
-----
two starving lovers
savor a feast of amour
their private banquet
-----
i remind myself
i'm too old to feel this way
yet again i do
-----
aloft upon your gale
soar as slow and steady winds
erupt into a gale
-----
left so far apart
best stars of the universe
different galaxies
-----
last scrap covering falls
steps naked into her new love
adventure awaits
-----
what's me without you
how empty would be my shell
if i can't have you

SHARING OUR HEARTBEATS, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, APRIL 5, 2023
sharing our heartbeats
through contact of our bodies...
faster and faster
-----
my fingers tickling
as she quivers with delight...
gasping out desires
-----
in her secret place
a tickling of butterflies...
she would love to share
-----
drinking droughts of love
beneath the forbidding stars...
sinning by moonlight
-----
vibrations above
our love's sensory threshhold...
in a flowing stream
-----
reaching out with words
for i fear one more heartbreak...
i want to love you
-----
moon knows our secrets
and the tales of many loves...
night's silver voyeur
-----
hands in rushing stream
bathed by love's flowing waters...
innocent pleasure
-----
glancing back i see
dream departing with the dawn...
leaves a smile and winks

HER DEEPEST KISSES, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, APRIL 3, 2023
her deepest kisses
leave tastes of sin on my lips...
and desires for more
-----
fearful of desires
but longing for their hot flames...
clutched her poet's hand
-----
stirring her embers
she explodes in ecstasy...
thus he makes her whole
-----
taught her not to fear
the heat of her own fires...
his heart in her flames
-----
her blush fast rising
ahead of my passing lips...
a breeze of kisses
-----
she weeps as she reads
his old tattered manuscript...
book of ancient scars
-----
seeking not to hide
out of love before his eyes...
exposes her secrets
-----
two soft voices blend
innocents in paradise...
flowers all they wear
-----
poet who loves her
puts more than words in her mouth...
stretching to a smile
-----
you can't see yourself
genuine wonder you are...
so i will show you
-----
sitting and waiting
for whatever time may bring...
i'm ready for it
-----
shadwos on the page
letters scattered off and hid...
poems meant for her
-----
long i've shadowed you
secrets hidden among poems...
i hoped would trap you
-----
now time draws away
only echoes surrond me...
and useless poems
------
yet i follow you
along the path you've chosen...
love's hope never dies
-----
having made love
i set down pen and lift glass...
relive what i wrote

HER PENT UP DESIRES, AND OTHER MICROPOEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
her pent up desires
swore herself to keep hidden...
the secrets he sought
-----
holds her lips apart
kiss beginning or at end...
open promises
-----
i lost sight of love
just how brightly it can shine...
in the darkest hours
-----
her colors arrive
touching my heart before spring...
our special season
-----
memories wander
light and dark some good some bad...
sometimes bad ones stick
-----
sometimes my old wounds
open beneath life's demands...
bleeding for a while
-----
no peace or quiet
constant noise and vibration...
shattering my thoughts
-----
near the train's too loud
fading into the distance...
leaves us quiet thoughts
-----
a lover's question
does love end and lust begin...
can they coexist
-----
with a small sadness
i quit following my dreams...
they never noticed
-----
dancer transitions
urban gray to forest green...
vibrantly alive
-----
i guess i shamed her
allowng her to see true me...
for she turned away
-----
listen for her voice
all i can hear are footsteps...
as distant echoes
-----
said she loved my words
yet never heard from again...
guess she forgot me

ALL HER BUTTERFLIES, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, MARCH 29, 2023
all her butterflies
stilled their wings beneath his touch...
and blossomed for him
-----
speaking smiles and tears
her feelings come pouring out...
turns ash to embers
-----
poet wakens to
random strokes of red and gold...
dawn's sky becomes words
-----
when i'm in my dark
she's the fire and flame i seek...
sunrise to my night
-----
lone blossom unfolds
as silent poet watches...
becomes a poem
-----
ordinary things
extraordinary things...
when we're together
-----
sweet and gentle smile
touching me with love's starlight...
gleaming messages
-----
taught her to love him
learned she's lived without laughter...
that's his next challenge
-----
fears to acknowledge
words she reads so eagerly...
which touch her inside
-----
exchanging verses
in verbalistic foreplay...
making poetry
-----
what i would permit
that which you need to explore...
help you find yourself
neither blessing nor curse
merely a true act of love...
which does not bind you
and though others might
you and i won't call it sin...
simply name it love
-----
lascivious lass
reading ribald risqué rhymes...
secretly sighing
-----
fingers trace her lips
seeking her moist poetry...
words he wants to taste
-----
her desire's bow bent
she nocks her tiny arrow...
pleasure's dart shot free
-----

BENEATH OLD ASHES, AND OTHER POEMS
beneath old ashes
a single ember ignites...
she fans into flames
-----
sweet infectious smile
soft eyes aglow with kindness...
words create desire
-----
the secrets she shares
once done only in private...
now part of their love
-----
ebon and silver
light and dark hills and hollows...
hidden and revealed
-----
intimate embrace
sharing intense sensations...
beyond our bodies
-----
wicked wet kisses
and intimate embraces...
delicious delights
-----
from dawn's unveiling
daring mother nature in...
her naked beauty
-----
dark petals folded
her garden's single flower...
opens at his touch
-----
beach too far away
fifty years or more ago...
when i was a boy
-----
innocence staggered
by storms of her emotions...
gales of wild desires
----
beneath the blanket
we read each other by touch...
re-read the best parts
-----
two lovers sharing
sunset's orgy of colors...
though a world apart

HAIKU BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, DECEMBER 7, 2021 - LOVE, PLEASURE, DREAMS, NAKEDNESS
woman as you are
the entirety of you...
needed and desired
-----
from dreams emerging
lover clad in my desires...
gossamer raiment
-----
make no promises
words wander off in the wind
place love in my hands
-----
her soft shy buds swell
awakened by lover's touch
warm breathless kisses
-----
show bold nakedness
call courage to bare ourselves
so love may know all
-----
you will never see
those deep scars i keep hidden...
which bleed words daily
-----
each word on the page
first was a wound on my soul...
which will never heal
-----
how a dream should end
you beside me as i sleep...
still there as i wake
-----
our private pleasure
exploring each other's lands...
love's an adventure
-----
you smiled at my words
seeing what i could not see...
i discovered me

FIRST POEMS OF 2020 BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
free amid sunshine and breeze
touched in loving ways
-----
eternal springtime
lovers never leave the time
when first they found love
-----
love when we're apart
don't just say you think of me
share the sounds you make
-----
When the ecstasy arrives,
When the thunder fills your body
The blood rushes in your ears,
The heat fills you,
And the only control you have
Is to say my name with
Gasping breaths,
Let me hold you,
Be there with you,
Share that stormy moment
Of love, body and soul,
Made one thing.
-----
exhausted coupling
flaming burst of ecstasy
forged by our passion
-----
pleasure's pressure builds
at the touch of your fingers
ecstasy arrives
-----
as adam and eve
bare in garden paradise
natural lovers
-----
We kiss and all dissolves,
For bodies become one,
In the joining of our mouths,
So wet and excited,
Spilling love back and forth,
Playfully touching tongues,
Mixing moisture as our bodies
Imprint one another,
Forgetting where one ends
And the other begins.
Nothing else but the kiss,
And the one we become.
-----
the hour of your kiss
moment of warm wet sharing
beginning of life
-----
your love for a kiss
true trinket to trade for gold
which lasts forever
-----
our love shakes the sky
soars with thunder and lightning
ends in soft embrace
-----
Trees and plants I remember,
My minor boyhood forest,
Small lad within the fence,
Remembering the oak,
One dead one broken,
The Chinaberry and dogwood
Both now gone, as too,
The arbor vitae, and the yucca,
From which we made swords,
Even the dead stump to which
We tied our enemies.
Trees, friends, playthings,
Gone with time but
In my memory.
-----
My first kisses,
Almost accidental,
Lenora and I,
Alone together
In the dark,
Bumbling,
Fumbling,
Kissing,
Innocent and ignorant,
Yet intent upon
Fulfilling our
Teenage destinies
Pretending
To be lovers
Even if only
For a night in the
Country club parking lot
Watching, over the bay,
A most romantic moon,
We had no idea how to use
Appropriately.

POEMS WRITTEN DECEMBER 1, 2019 BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
The silver marauder beneath the moon,
Hunter of lost souls,
Harbinger of doom,
Wood spirit of a nameless god?
If you hear his voice,
The night song,
Listen long and learn,
The secret of his sadness,
And the end of his freedom,
For that is his doom.
-----
a pink cloud morning
pastel promises written
upon sky and mind
-----
fingers upon the strings
chords set for your loving song
i begin to play
-----
my movable feast
served steaming with your desire
dripping love's flavors
-----
written in the stars
two would meet and fall in love
yet be kept apart
-----
loving in the night
warm lips and hot caresses...
but only a dream
-----
madness of my love
fills all my reality
with visions of you
-----
So many if they knew you
In the deep and honest ways I do,
Would pine for you,
Crave your touch and kisses,
Ask for a moment of your time
The caress of your attention,
The touch and kisses,
Time and attention,
That I too crave,
And seek to claim.
-----
come sit beside me
take a moment to hold me
watching the sunset
-----
Light the death fire
Over the grave
Of the one long gone,
Sing the song of sorrow,
Notes of sadness
Carried upon
The night wind,
To wherever
Shades still walk.
Tilt up the bottle,
Drink to the passing,
And, our past,
Pouring the last ounce
Upon their buried breast,
As we depart
Carrying the empty bottle,
And our empty hearts,
Back to the living.
-----
where do love songs go
when the music is silenced
and the heart is still
-----
breathe in my sad sighs
cover my hands with kisses
turn sadness to smiles
-----
in our private world
when our two hearts are touching
time does not exist
-----
time does bend me friend
but i've not been broken yet
our game continues
-----
Old guy in a flannel shirt,
Gray hair and beard,
Lined and marked,
By misadventures,
Years of woods and wind,
Surf and sand and sangria,
Stories of daring do,
Tales of exploits,
A few lies among them,
Your job to decide,
Which is which,
And who I really am,
Before the bottle's empty.
-----
Dying daylight lingers
Before the black mirror,
Night,
Her crimson sashes,
Adorned with bright
Diamonds, stars,
Sprinkled across,
Her ebony dress,
Swirling in the air,
Grooming her face,
The moon,
By its reflection,
In the resting sea.

POEMS, COMMENTS, AND HAIKU BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, SEPTEMBER 19, 2019
entranced by dripping petals
thirsting for your love
-----
your mouth unwraps me
sweet words strip my concealment
lover left naked
-----
When words begin to come
They are driven by the winds
Blowing from some secret land
An island by the sea where
Lovers, we, walk hand in hand
Appraising sunsets, and,
The sand beneath our feet,
Stopping to exchange kisses
And caresses in the warm surf
At the edge of our own world.
-----
your lips to my lips
your soft sweet nectar soothing
insatiable thirst
-----
tantalizing tongue
offers more than poetry
at touching moments
