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
-----

CHILD OF THE OCEAN, AND OTHER POEMS, AUGUST 15, 2024, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
Boy of the wind and wave,
Bending trees beneath him,
Burning naked beneath the sun,
Taught poetry by nature,
By promises written on
The horizon of The endless sea,
Which became his mistress,
And, with words, his desire.
-----
caught him watching
never thought herself sexy
until that moment
-----
merely a poet
who's learned to remain hidden
only his words wanted
-----
At my age,
It's seldom about
Feeling good.
More likely
Feeling better,
Than yesterday.
Since yesterday
I might have felt like...
Well, you know.
Feeling better than that,
Might still NOT be
Feeling good.
-----
dawn's sensuous rise
love gloriously displayed
over earth's oceans
-----
she brings me flowers
offering them with a smile
beside which they pale
-----
we smile together
when we hear the ocean's song
though so far apart
-----
touched so many times
gentle smile and loving words
i seek every day
-----
ocean or fountain
i seek out a water nymph
to share poetry
-----
the more words she read
the more that she realized
that he wrote for her
-----
was it you or me
first saw the written poems
as our love letters
-----
ocean between us
joining not separating
singing us its song
-----
some words frighten her
yet they fill his poetry
and make her wonder
-----
redder than a rose
she's more brightly blossoming
by singing waters
-----
i await your touch
even if only in words
to know you read this
-----
Only a story,
A tale on the night wind,
A dancer by the fire,
Or sitting with me watching,
As life unfolds and becomes poetry,
Unconventional images stepping
Into the light,
Summoning us into the shadows
Where we may make love in private,
With words and touches,
And sigh and moans.
-----
At first adrift,
She gathers speed,
Sailing towards
Her ocean's edge...
Drawing back,
Anticipating,
The next foray,
Each new adventure,
Again and again,
The next turn
Of her tide
Until...
The ocean swells,
And she, swept on,
By the power of each
Successive wave,
Falls over the edge,
Into ecstatic oblivion.
-----
Sometimes it's hard to care
Without someone to care with.
It's lonely among people,
Who have no clue of who you are,
And would stare at you as they
Backed away if they did know...
It's a life full of echoes, when,
Only you understand yourself,
Or care...
Comes back to that...
Understand,
Accept,
Care...
Love?
I've got lots.
Wish you had some,
Somebody?
Echoes again,
Just echoes.
-----
his cursive etchings
true love graven in her skin
delight in each curve
-----
ecstatic climax
as everything that she is
unites for pleasure
-----
quivers with pleasure
the words thar stripped her naked
filling needs and wants
-----
takes hold of his words
in her mind they come alive
touching her inside
------
murmuring his words
like love's liquid in her mouth
tasted drop by drop
-----
she sacrifices
dies a little death for him
for herself as well
-----

SPEAK TO ME WITH OCEAN WAVES, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 14, 2024
Ask the wind to sing for me,
Take me back to boyhood
In the woods beside the bay,
Climb those trees once more,
Contemplating in boyish ways,
The rhythm and adventure of
Life and the endless sea,
Progenitors of poetry,
And the future poet.
-----
Never call me broken.
Bent and crushed,
Crumpled and thrown away,
Stitched and sewn
Back together so much
My very soul looks
Like the Frankenstein monster...
But still walks, talks, growls,
And spits out poetry, so,
Don't ever call me broken...
-----
exposing myself
trying to speak the simple truth
others can't believe
-----
never ending roar
wind ceaselessly stings my skin
memories replayed
-----
let poet love you
write you into poetry
a few hundred times
-----
many love letters
well disguised as poetry
to adored goddess
-----
below soul's surface
she is like an ocean tide
drawing me with her
-----
best i stay unseen
remain poet who exists
as mere words of love
-----
heart beats and hand moves
while all the rest is dying
love remains alive
-----
gown about her feet
most revealing pose at dawn
watercolor orchid
-----
sharing our hearts' smiles
with our souls dancing naked
to our poetry
-----
a lovely morning
poetry over coffee
the look in your eyes
-----
morning's mist glistens
sweetly drips from her petals
dawn's enticing dew
-----
endless waves and wind
begetter of poetry
always the ocean
-----
dream she knows i'm here
knows of words i wrote for her
expecting nothing
----
seems a shy flower
yet hidden petals glisten
with love's fiery dew

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
-----

MORE THAN A SHADOW, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 12, 2024
more than a shadow
you are creature of magic
dancing in my dreams
skirt flares about you
naked legs so happily
molten in moonlight
excited cheeks flushed
your gaily panting bosom
promises on your skin
-----
daughter of no king
nor elfin sprite of legend
my mystic woman
-----
words about her wrists
naked to his sentences
lashed by poetry
-----
proudly she displays
secrets no one else may see
shameless in her love
-----
no maidens thank you
old poet warmed by matron muse
finds the sweetest words
-----
she turned me away
because she was too perfect
all i ever desired
-----
have you spotted it
what i wrote for you today
a smile on my lips
-----
she's got a secret
sweet gentle teddy bear
ferocious in bed
-----
came into my life
making me reveal myself
then she disappeared
-----
birth until today
no one's ever wanted me
words perhaps not me
-----
sometimes remembers
all the times that he was spurned
the one time he wasn't
-----
of all the women
only one ever loved me
one i left behind
-----
of beasts of the earth
useless sort of animal
this poet creature
-----
best done in private
this form of masturbation
writing of poems
-----
erotic poet
an amateur botanist
exploring orchids
-----
private festival of oral arts
delicious confections whipped up
sweet berries and dripping cream
-----
untroubled angel
in my arms as sin begins
sweet demonic grin
-----
first in our family
so odd he's a poet
try to ignore him
-----
intense the image
rainbow flaming black and white
stripped of its colors
-----
my one true lover
the woman who reads my words
knows that they're for her
-----
she seems innocent
and perhaps in ways she is
also sensual
both personas stunning
visible in poetry
which betrays her soul
fires that burned within
needs and wants they failed to grasp
love that caused her pain
-----
i'll not bother you
until you've invited me
back into your arms
-----
sweatshirt and flannel
believe me YOU are sexy
it's not the clothes dear
-----
boots and mini skirt
and that sassy walk of hers
smile over her shoulder
-----
A soldier, a poet, an adventurer, yet how boyish he seemed in sleep. She looked at him and rolled up in her blanket, the saddle for her pillow. As she drifted off to sleep, he woke, looked at her... a soldier, a poet, and adventurer... how angelic she looked in the moonlight... the memory of their lovemaking flooded his mind and body... and he loved with a love he could never speak.
-----
ready for adventures
my body can longer handle
but i don't give a damn...
let's do it, baby
-----
i pretend you care
vut no one has ever before
why on earth would you

YOUR FAVORITE TOYS, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 11, 2024
your favorite toys
stashed with your erotica
for your private times
-----
those wonderful words
that strip away your outer garb
leaving you naked
-----
no single person
can catch all the love that spills from me
too much love is lonely
-----
time to time pauses
remembering the poet
who's kept her secrets
-----
touching an orchid
eyes and fingers follow curves
wet with loving dew
-----
herculean task
displaying feelings with words
instead of kisses
------
words took you with them
on that journey poets know
while i waited here
-----
never spoke a word
yet he screamed to her of love
from the written page
-----
while the world fails me
deep within my wicked dreams
you and i make love
-----
one treasured moment
let's look at one another
and call it foreplay
-----
she's much respected
socially acceptable
her flames well hidden
-----
you have changed my world
with real words imagined smile
yourself as you are

I WILL WRITE FOR YOU, AND OTHER POEMS, AUGUST 10, 2024, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
i will write for you
as long as you find my words
pathways to pleasure
-----
poet or medium
words sentences paragraphs
fighting to be heard
-----
Do you know what tinnitus is?
It's a constant hum or buzz in the ear that can drive you crazy.
I have that AND a tinnitus of words.
Words are mixed with images, poured into sentences, paragraphs, and poetry.
ADHD slams and jams them together then out the door.
24/7/365
A constant clamor of creation with orgasmic bursts of nativity...
Not under my control... much...
No rest for the poet.
I awaken at 2AM and it's happening.
I take the dog out at 6 AM and it's happening.
Even now.
-----
soft but not fragile
a most delicate beauty
my beloved's soul
-----
naked by desire
naked to her poet's mind
naked to the world
-----
moonlit lovers joined
on love's cerulean sea
one silver wonder
-----
if our tight embrace
could be made much tighter still
bodies become one
-----
words thrust deep inside
release seminal meanings
give birth to desires
-----
i know i should stop
leave this love of love behind
that's also called death
-----
no set agenda
except love and poetry
I've written for you
-----
in secret daydreams
departs bound for decadence
transit fantasy
-----
i love you so much
your pleasure is my desire
in all that you choose
-----
am i concerned with
who and what and how you love
only that you are loved
-----
you were never mine
nor were you and i meant to be
except in poems
-----
sad old cyrano
roxanne will only learn his love
when death comes for him
-----
the morning after
the sins didn't seem like sins
but more like blessings
-----
how long i have longed
waiting for the you you are
to become my muse
-----
soft gentle maiden
warrior princess in leather
depends on who holds her
-----
the shutter captures
her most daring exposure
photographer sighs

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

IN THE MOONLIGHT AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 8, 2024
Another natural thing she stands
Bare and naked worshipping Selene,
Eyes lifted skyward, arms outstretched
Welcoming the silver pouring over her body
Aware of how she fills her lover's eyes,
Smiling as, lowering her eyes she sees,
His naked adoration that she,
Naked in moonlight, has inspired.
-----
makes it seem easy
writes me love words that i read
perfect seduction
-----
i immerse myself
salt sweet nectar of venus
font of my desire
-----
pour myself into
your dry and empty places
so long lacking love
you eagerly suckle
brew of mutual desires
keeping some to share
pouring from yourself
filling my empty places
saving more for later
-----
words from a stranger
touch in most forbidden ways
words from a lover
-----
berries dipped in cream
sucking her hard-tipped candies
delicious desserts
-----
as you would for me
secure that love will bring me back
i will wait for you
-----
i dare give you love
knowing that you must explore
love that you would dare
-----
kneel naked darling
presenting yourself proudly
goddess of desire
-----
yes you pose naked
for i choose to write you so
poetic license
-----
fingers in the stream
seek the source of ecstasy
she paddles upstream
-----
near me in the dark
ancient paean she intones
fills me with desire
-----
so often pleasure
others will define as sin
badly misused word
-----
i am consumed by
all the colors of her fire
a passionate byre
-----
storm surge of my tongue
separating petals
striking blossom's core
-----
i will let you go
for you must be free to leave
if i'm to keep you
-----
though goddess you be
don't mock my adoration
respect runs both ways
-----
naked before me
prepared to give herself for
true and honest love
-----
never weep for me
the sad way my life ended
words all i had left
-----
no beauty in myself
let me paint you with my words
pose for me a while
-----
each day spent alone
only living through my words
until night's darkness
-----
it's lonely this place called life
-----
behind simple words
i hide my heartfelt desires
my wish to touch you
-----
play music softly
so that i may hear my thoughts
singing about you

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

YOU IMPRESS ME, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 5, 2024
You impress me...
The way your words
Carry the tactile message
Of body to body,
Tongue to tongue,
The taste of the inner you,
Drippings of desire,
Gathered in licking kisses,
Shared without shame
In the form of poetry,
For the moment,
A liquid feast for lovers,
Bound to taste the most
Intimate messages
Beyond words.
-----
eternal question
what is it like to be loved
don't know the answer
------
i've never seen you
yet how beautiful you are
your words bear witness
-----
tied to her poet
lashed by her own desires
the freedom she seeks
-----
aria amour
beautiful ecstatic song
bursting from within
-----
withholding pleasure
until she can wait no more
achieving climax
-----
never enough words
so we choose another way
with hugs and kisses
-----
a night of whispers
stories told by stroking hands
with ecstatic sighs
-----
beautiful her song
the way she pulls each note forth
as her fingers strum
-----
no one to save me
on the slippery road through hell
that others call life
------
smiling her soul ablaze
for her poetic arsonist
who loves to watch her flames
-----
wanting you to be you
not put on a show for me
sexier that way
-----
wonder who i am
for i belong to no one
and none will claim me
-----
dancing in the rain
she's filled with liquid music
raindrops notes on skin
------
she's sexy when wild
so unladylike and free
as eve might have been
-----
in the lonesome night
i await your messages
though my hopes grow dim
-----
who used whom i ask
which was humiliated
left trembling alone
-----
a poet's subject
once marked she lived on
ever immortal
-----
this poem's gentle
the next wildly erotic
you will be in both
-----
words those moving things
that found their way inside her
touching her pleasures
-----
poetry brings her
to a sort of ecstasy
at the tips of words
-----
yet though i will dream
dream is all it will remain
in which you visit

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
-----

YOUR PASTEL PAGES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 1, 2024
Your pastel pages
Fluttering beneath the pen,
Pearlescent ink barely seen,
Underlining and marking,
The curves and folds,
Of the delicious flower,
Precious cup from which
Poet drinks his wine.
-----
tastes words one by one
as they drip my mouth to hers
become poetry
-----
look into your eyes
imagining the thoughts you hide
behind quiet fire
-----
life's greyscale rainbow
yesterday a happy day
today sad shadows
-----
no longer restrained
released from one set of bonds
gives herself to him
-----
never saw your face
yet i know you're beautiful
your words have told me
never touched your skin
yet I've left words written there
by your gentle hand
never heard your voice
yet i know sighs in the dark
have followed my words
-----
your kiss saps my strength
your embrace restores my youth
i need both to live
-----
serving me coffee
wearing my pajama shirt
carefully unbuttoned
-----
why you can't love me
i'm too old and you're so young
i just want you happy
-----
She put on a show about sin
Delightfully uncovered skin,
She showed him the way
Nice girls shouldn't play,
And then she invited him in.

SWEET REVELATIONS AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, OCTOBER 5, 2023
Sweet revelation
When dawn's loose robe falls open,
Splendid secrets loosed,
Bosom of the day above
Ecstasy's hidden entrance
#tanka
-----
fingers fluttering
almost too fast to follow...
summoning magic
i her student watch
learning her intricacies...
routes of her pleasure
slowly she guides me
giving wordless instructions...
gasps end the session
-----
she's not a plaything
and yet she can be playful...
and there's a difference
-----
not overwhelming
but always quietly there...
the way he loves her
-----
in the night beneath the stars
we made the most intimate love...
without ever getting undressed
-----
explore each other
lost within our wilderness...
private adventures
-----
on soft blank pages
i write lascivious lines...
verse that sounds like you
-----
so like the ocean
foams across a hidden reef...
my desire crashes
-----
ready warrior
sword unsheathed standing before...
passion's mad onslaught
-----
hear your silent song
writing how the words would sound...
if i could sing you
-----
drop drop drop of words
she arches with joyful pain...
as poetry burns her
writhes beneath words
as the poet's candle drips...
ink which burns like wax
as our lips bind us
trails of burning poetry...
inflame new secrets
-----
at last it's autumn
and all the trees are on fire...
glorious flames before dying
-----
i write poetry
though my words thrill you inside...
you keep them secret
-----
butterflies flutter
and a smile crosses her lips...
as his words tickle
-----

A SUNSHINE WOMAN, AND OTHER POEMS, APRIL 4, 2023
By Donovan Baldwin
a sunshine woman
loved by a creature of storm...
never to be one
-----
bring joy to sorrow
forgive all the lonely ones...
for you've been one too
-----
might i love too much
giving more than she might give...
i don't believe so
-----
hand in hand she guides
leads me to her sacred lands...
reveals rituals
-----
Oddly different sensation,
You opening my petals,
Fingers wandering through my fields.
Yet, so pleasant to know
Something about me pleases you.
The way your gaze,
And then your fingers,
And, eventually, I hope,
Your lips,
Explore my fields,
And blossoms,
Excietes me,
Raises my
Expectations,
Reignites old fires,
Which have long become,
Mere embers hidden
In a field of
Dying flowers,
Which now seek
To bloom
Once more.
-----
art may sometimes show
what the lover's mind perceives...
esoteric truths
-----
between two hillocks
poet rests his weary head...
hand on her warm plain
-----
i live without gods
mine departed years ago...
banished for their lies
-----
revealing secrets
watching her dark rose unfold...
sparkling with honey
-----
with all her freedoms
chooses to stay at my side...
free to be herself
ALTERNATE
among all freedoms
she'd gladly stand at my side...
free to be herself
-----
that which passed between
lancelot and guinevere...
noble sins indeed
-----
at work she's the boss
at home they are both equals...
sometimes she lets go
-----
fragrant fantasy
mouth tasting once more her breaths...
kiss we've never had
-----
in my mind and heart
you are unable to sin...
all you do is love
-----
as if in a dream
caught by love's strong gravity...
orbit about you
-----
searched within my words
found hidden a beating heart...
we touched each other
-----
