By Donovan Baldwin

find me in the trees
by the ocean's windy shore
boy returning home

-----

the twisted old oaks
along the bay where winds blow
endure pain and age

-----

one with the forest
the wild blue sea's familiar...
earth's eternal ghost

-----

at first much too shy
until i awakened her
taught her to be bold

-----

trees too far away
across the street out of reach
bring back memories

-----

when the blush began
i smiled pleased at the sight as...
you blushed all over

-----

i've a secret place
and suspect you have one too
let's meet share secrets

-----

do as lovers do
in the rumpled bed no shame
loving in our way

-----
