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
