WE FLEE TO EDEN AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

DONOVAN BALDWIN
we flee to eden
our paradise of pleasures
without sin or shame

-----

set her spirit free
how he wanted to love her
never to tame her

-----

i think i see you
secret wishes words desires
you dare not display

-----

first time exciting
so shameless and innocent
lasting memory

-----

i grant no freedom
for freedom is love's birthright
always free with me

-----

patch of velvet moss
my love's enticing grotto
where i rest my head

-----

amid folds and swirls
her silver nectar courses
pursued by his lips

-----

two similar souls
hedonistic partnership
craving the same sins

-----

from her box of toys
we mutually select
our evening's pleasures

-----

two similar souls
hedonistic partnership
craving the same sins

-----

i hope you make love
not with me but one you love
i can love that much

-----

Sometimes I say nothing,
Because I have so much to say,
And so few words to say it.

Sometimes I wish that you
Could read the silences of my heart,
And hear the echoes of my longing.

Sometimes I listen for the sounds
That I know I might never hear
Our laughter in the rain.

-----

words were never said
wrote our private poetry...
lips across her skin

-----

an artful goddess
arising and arousing
most freely exposed

-----

Upon the winds of time
An ancient tale in rhyme
A goddess alluring,
Desert sands swirling
Song of a love so sublime.

-----

intentional words
reveal more than conceal
her poet entralled

-----

trembles in his hands
softly quivering crystal
short of shattering

-----

cannot paint you nude
beautiful though that may be
so write what i see

-----

pleasure's passages
aphrodite's instruction...
i bend to my task

-----

i cannot own you
only wish you happiness
pleased by your pleasure

-----

She felt gladly exposed, as
Each new piece of clothing fell,
The touch of air and eyes
Causing skin to quiver,
Visible signals of desire,
Spoke of the rising
Of the secrets which
Had been hidden so long,
But now burst forth as
Fingers set them free.

-----

my words in her hands
vibrating with my passion
thrusting her upward

-----

thinks i cannot see
her whirlwind of passion
her mask hides little

-----

she savors tartness
slick and salty like the sea
cream of temptation

-----

nakedly waiting
there somewhere beyond the door
she hopes he'll open

-----

she cannot lay stil
neath his kisses and caresses
arching she cries out

-----

each inch and entry
on and in your savory skin
delicious to taste

-----

frightened doe at first
stepping wide-eyes from her fears
into love's meadow

----

frightened by passion
she stepped bide-eyed from shadows
to bright excitement

-----

sometimes it's just us
sometimes we're part of a pack
loving together

-----

I'll never own you
but i will be at your side
in pain and pleasure

-----

each day's a struggle
carrying all the burdens
life has bequeathed me

-----

it's not merely lust
love with a higher purpose
receiving much more

CAME TO ME NAKED, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, NOVEMBER 2, 2025

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

DONOVAN BALDWIN
came to me naked
your body and soul laid bare
trusting in my love

all that you hid behind
cast aside so i could see
desires wants and needs

so bravely revealed
how could i not fall in love
with one so much like me

-----

two secret lovers
touch each other with hot words
saved and repeated

-----

learning to love you
before seeing or touching
could be how it should be

-----

just love the poet
there's no need to love the man
his time's almost done

-----

treats no tricks says she
as she sits upon my knee
wearing eve's costume

-----

ere this angel fell
stole eve from the devil's arms
to love forever

-----

lovers cannot touch
comparing their dreams amid
ghosts of dead roses

-----

bathing in his words
bravely exposing herself
untamed she rises

-----

i'm not one to love
ragged shell of what i was
just my mind still young

-----

old age catches up
slowly body succumbs to
time's relentless tide

-----

never a boyfriend
or a lover at this age
just an old poet

-----

hurry and wake love
so many sins we desire
await our passion

----

gown of see-through words
corset of sheer poetry
poet's boudoir pic

----

a passionate glow
illuminates as we explore
our fiery secrets

-----

i helpless hopeless
time rolls inexorably
destroying all dreams

-----

briefly she was here
wrapping her words around mine
and left me echoes

-----

can't we just share joy
the pleasure of each other
love all that matters

-----

modern streets not troy
no helen she but human
yet i fight for her

ALONE WITH HER NEEDS, AND OTHER MICRO-POETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, OCTORBER 26, 2025

DONOVAN BALDWIN
alone with her needs
burning in private places
she beats at the flames

-----

image on my mind
all day i remember how
we wished it to be

-----

none would understand
our colorful fantasies
in this dull gray world

-----

i desire to do
the most lascivious acts
as you watch me sin

then you take a turn
giving yourself to others
watching me watch you

sharing our bodies
drinking ejaculations
of bodily fluids

-----

i just want to know
your so-called sins excite me
all you dare to share

-----

does she dare reply
even if but with a click
her heart left exposed

-----

wonder where you've gone
you were here a little while
was i too daring

-----

i can see your fires
as your secret needs take flame
in burning places

-----

none ever touched me
or put their arms around me
to make me feel loved

------

thought she'd never find
one who understood her love
loved her how she loved

-----

amidst passion's storm
a hidden orchid blooms
within its own rain

-----

anoints my body
her consecrated nectar
a blessed giving

-----

private recital
fingering love's instrument...
such stirring chords struck

-----

button by button
exposing more than her heart
lifting more than his

-----

you sit facing me
surrender to titty play
soft orgasmic sighs

------

if i could teach you
your sins were not sins to me
but steps to freedom

-----

drink and breathe i must
eat but have no appetite
love without return

-----

your tongue licks your lips
as each button comes undone
and a rose appears

-----

loving you daily
unable to love myself
the way that you do

------

we're adam and eve
wandering our own eden
loving endlessly

-----

torridly tempting
her mind before her body
i had to have both

-----

how often I've failed
despite my best intentions
and earnest efforts

-----

speak with your body
name the sins we shall commit
show me how and where

-----

my hopeless searching
through all of my poetry
hoping to find you

-----

i have dined with her
her silver nectar flowing
over honeyed treats

-----

read what i put down
knew at once they were for her
loving words i wrote

-----

such expressive eyes
i look and make up poems
thoughts i read within

-----

two impossibly
entwined beneath black rainbows
their bodies on fire

LONG HAVE I LOVED YOU, AND OTHER MICROPOETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, OCTOBER 17, 2025

DONOVAN BALDWIN
BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

long have i loved you
through my silences and words
my many failures

-----

when warriors weep
and the poet's pen is stilled
love will stand waiting

-----

sweet cinnamon skin
salty tang to tracing tongue
dark delicious cream

-----

she's no longer young
she's experienced and tired
in search of understanding

to be loved for herself
the body bearing marks of time
the mind in search of thoughts

desiring internal ecstasies
after which she can rest in his arms
that's what he's seeking

-----

no negligee please
just enter the room naked
trail of clothes behind

-----

you've exposed yourself
made a public piece of art
prized by all and me

-----

enough of a boy
to yet enjoy the pleasures
dull adults cannot

-----

two kindred spirits
seeking one another out
unable to touch

-----

a modern facade
hides fabled queen incarnate
that i clearly see

-----

rose held to her throat
thorns about to open veins
of blood red poems

-----

how eager she is
sharing pleasures of the flesh
simply for love's sake

-----

how can i resist
pain i cannot live without
passions you inspire

-----

he and his lady spar
among objet d'art
in glistening white
settle down for a night
of loving the way they are

----

sharp intake of breath
as i'm once more touched by you
memories arise

-----

haven't forgotten
all those sexy interludes
lascivious pleasures

-----

would you share with me
all that flows from pleasure's cup
once more like before

-----

two who love so hard
in every possible way
sharing adventures

-----

we had so much fun
shared exotic erotics
each possible way

-----

open mind like mine
body and soul made for love
we're so similar

STORIES I CAN'T TELL, AND OTHER RANDOM MICROPOETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN - OCTOBER 12, 2025

 
DONOVAN BALDWIN - POET
stories i can't tell

times that you and i made love

in secret places


-----


i've so many words

i can use to describe you

how you make me feel


-----


if you only knew

how many times every day

i try to find you


-----


when she's all alone

a time for private pleasures

solo adventures


-----


as i stand exposed

her fingers seek to mold me

as if i were clay


-----


touch me just one time

as if you meant to please me

make me feel wanted


-----


words a silken gown

rustling across her bare skin

causing arousal


-----


hold me just one time

make me feel that i belong

for a while at least


-----


singing our love songs

neath a silent silver moon

revealing secrets


-----


naked in the night

lovers turn their skins silver

moonbathe together


------


weaving with my words

translucent gown for my love

to touch her for me


-----


lonely without you

echoing in heart and mind

my words so empty


-----


licking sinful lips

she's mellow with a slow burn

a honeyed vodka


-----


Alone in the dark on Gibraltar,

As her courage began to falter,

Then a monkey she met,

Became more than a pet,



-----


People think they're doing good

By being nice to me

I know it's just a subterfuge,

So they feel good, you see.


No one's ever wanted me,

Much less to be nearby,

Through all my many failures,

Give comfort as I cry.


I've never known what love is,

That feeling so sublime,

That someone loving me can give,

It's never been my time.


Each day has been a lonely thing,

In night's darkness so alone,

Never finally fell at peace,

Except when life has gone.


-----


she's dressed for the office

but her mind is somewhere else

nakedly exposed


-----


Pumpkins in the fall,

To Isabella do call,

Earth tones abound,

Falling leaves all around,



-----


i cannot help it

you awaken my old sins

and present desires


-----


life has come to this

ancient wreck of words and deeds

on the rocks of time


-----

RANDOM MICROPOETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN - OCTOBER 5, 2025

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

Donovan Baldwin
we discovered sin
in dark beside the bay
teens beneath the moon

-----

drawings of lovers
living out their fantasies
lines intersecting

-----

too damn old you see
for feelings my heart contains
dreams of yesterday

-----

been thinking of you
wonder if you think of me
wishing that you would

-----

what sins have you done
that i haven't done myself
living and loving

-----

those "heathen idols"
nakedly expressing truths
we cannot admit

-----

always with respect
even when we both consent
to exceed love's bounds

-----

Expeditions on unexplained shores.
Seeking to open locked doors,
Chasing her dreams
For the pleasure it brings,
Heather Amaro explores.

-----

my darkness within
inner scars, still bleeding wounds
eternal injuries

-----

before sleep takes me
i remember holding her
naked bodies joined

-----

those exciting nights
my lover revealed to me
pleasures of desire

-----

if you love ignore
body shape and skin color
meaningless metrics

-----

arms around my neck
binding me to panting breast
her mouth seeking mine

-----

but would she kiss him
creature from another time
or just love his words

-----

she touches my words
but never has she touched me
i'll wait like always

-----

he spills poetry
all over her naked mind
like cold words on skin

-----

no kisses for me
no eager feral fondling
nor cries of content

-----

sexy fully clothed
it's never what she's wearing
but how she wears it

-----

rosebud's nymph
rising casting off its veils
delicate but proud

reaping her tiny fig
plucking tiny fruit to taste
among sweet juices

breathlessly explore
up and down her little hill
along its ridges

-----

i stoop to admire
her mysterious jewel
among pastel folds

-----

her words appearing
just above love's horizon
warm pastels of dawn

-----

If I may speak so bold,
My ears will never be cold
Laying back on the bed,
Your thighs round my head,
As my tongue explores each fold.

-----

poet at his best
a god creating eden
adam to his eve

-----

sweet dreams or nightmares
hold my hand demand my arms
however you feel safe

-----

words upon her skin
dripping as if heated wax
delicate places

-----

TWO HOT POEMS - TAKE MY HAND AND TURN & FOR BOTH OUR PLEASURES

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

hide your secrets well
but never quite well enough
for me not to know

your boundaries dissolve
before rushing floods of love
you shouldn't but you will

your eyes tell me all
as you take my hand and turn
leading me within

-----

you guided my hand
places it was meant to be
upon your body

taught it where to stop
the way that spot was touched
bring moans to your lips

tempo and rhythm
perfect pressure and motion
for both our pleasures

ESSAY - WHAIKU HAIKU?

 BY DONOVAN BALDWIN


Whaiku I write haiku?

My head is full of words. Many of them doing acrobatics, grabbing onto one another, letting go, flying through the air...

Apparently, often without a net, as they tend to flash through the air of my mind and disappear.

Part of that's attributable to my ADHD brain, I'm sure. Always looking for the next exciting act and immediately relegating the previous one(s) to some mysterious hell hole from which only a few emerge from time to time, emaciated and staggering under the weight of chains of meaning, which, like those of Marley's ghost, only I can see.

We tend to see only the "finished" works of poets, but, if we could travel through time to their cottages and hovels, for poets ARE poor, aren't they, we would see scraps covered with words, phrases, sentences, and, possibly like some comedy sketches I've seen, piles of crumpled paper, each representing an "act" that didn't make the cut.

I have notebooks, scraps of paper, even, yes, cocktail napkins, and, more than once, a piece of toilet paper, with poems, ideas, words.

That's why I write so many haiku. That's how I save my words. Many of these short little snippets grow up to be real poems, the others serve to keep my disappearing thoughts alive.

ESSAY - ARE YOU A WRITER? DO YOU FEEL THIS WAY?

BY DONOVAN BALDWIN

To be honest, sometimes I write on the basis of the "Infinite Monkey Theorem".


If I keep typing, something of value will come out.

Seriously, baseball players are considered great hitters if they get hits about 30% of their times at bat.

Writers take heed.

Also, I don't "expect" to get rich from writing. I do it because I have to.

I have never been paid a penny for anything I have written, although I HAVE been "paid" in copies of publications in which my poems appeared, I don't count manuals and reports written as part of a (ick) job for which I received a paycheck.

I write because I have to.

If I miss a day, sometimes an hour, I begin to feel myself somehow a failure.

It's funny, the "quality" of what I write seldom affects how I feel about my "writing". I might look down on a given piece, or feel that I'm in a bit of a rut, or, missed the mark, but, when I look back over time, I'm happiest that I kept writing.

Are you a writer?

Here's a test.

Did you write something today?

Yesterday?

Going to write tomorrow?

Two out of three makes it an 80% chance, give or take an error factor of 20, that you are.

Write on!!!

POETRY - THE SHADOWS BEHIND ME, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 21, 2024

Arthur Conan Doyle
The shadows behind me,
Haunting me for decades
Conan-Doyle, Steinbeck,
Chesterton, White,
Burroughs and Tuttle,
Carrol and Milne,
The Lone Wolf,
And Nero Wolfe,
Bulldog Drummond and Doc Strange,
Shell Scott and Travis McGee,
Tarzan and Kazan,
The cold rings about 
Unknown planets, and
Unknown heroes who died alone,
Believing it was worth the price,
And those you've never heard of,
And I've forgotten who in passing,
Managed to help me become who I am.

-----

one by one words end
one by one their echoes cease
poet is alone

-----

what purpose words
but for inflicting pain
upon myself

-----

gods deserted me
left me only echoes
of empty poems

-----

promises wither
I've a garden full of those
weeds and dead roses

-----

i said i love you
words i meant with all my heart
spoken from my prison

-----

in my life I've known
broken bones and broken heart
the one heals faster

-----

she reached out for me
i had no hands to touch her
love fell between us

-----

i would promise all
I've so little left to give
all i am is yours

-----

easily given
promises are brittle things
easily broken

for many decades
i've collected promises
in memory's bin

the tiny pieces
left when each one fell apart
so sharp they drew blood

-----

came to him naked
all she owned was left behind
her mind and arms open

-----

moon's silver slivers
whispered indecent proposals
among naked trees

-----

here's the only rule
do to my heart what you will
but you must mean it

-----

your clothes discarded
you cuddle up on my lap
bare skins caressing

-----

she's quite flexible
bending herself to shared whims
mutual desires

-----

touched her in those ways
she only dreamed of knowing
until she met him

-----

yes for love indeed
and mutual adventures
with a select few

-----

a gracious hostess
spreads herself on his table
entrée and dessert

-----
