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

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
