Gone is sadness,
Gone is pain,
Gone is sorrow,
Gone is yesterday,
Gone is old me...

You fill me.

I once was lost,
I once was alone,
I once was lightless,
I once was soulless,
I once was empty...

You fill me.

With each touch,
With each look,
With each word,
With each image,
With each dream...

You fill me.

You are so loved, that I,
As in my morning bed I lie,
Dream I'm resting by your side,
Sea, and love at highest tide,

We hear the waves on sandy shore,
Roll and beat, one more, one more,
And driven by each beating wave,
Reach for each other... hope to save...

The memory of that morning love,
Whole til death... beyond, above.
While loving you is wave within,
A rolling tide without an end.

I have lived with hurricanes,
And dared to ride the wind.

I love thunder and lightening, and,
Come alive in the stormiest of storms.

Challenge wakens my soul,
Causing me to stand tall and proud.

But, this thing sweeps over me,
Leaving me breathless and in awe.

It is the feeling that I feel,
When I think of her.

If I could hold her hand,
Encirle her waist with my arms,

Once kiss her lips with mine...

I am not sure that I could breathe.

So many times you've made me smile.
And, even break into laughter...
Or song,
Silly...

Giddy as a school boy in his first love,
Flooding with warmth and...
Happiness,
Wow...

Waking each day to look for you,
Hurrying to read your words...
Excited,
Eager...

You are the beginning and end for me,
And all in the middle...
Forever,
Always...

I wish that I could tell you,
How wonderful you are...
Special,
Rare...

I hope I just did.

By Donovan Baldwin

Each night in darkness your face shines before me,
I reach for you, longing just to touch your cheek.

Then, lost to building lust, I desire to see you,
See more of you, touch you, hold you in my arms,
The pressure of your woman's form against my hard,
Unyielding manhood.

I would dream the words my poet's fingers weave reaching within your heart,
Starting it beating faster as poetic threads of loving warmth,
Move freely to the most sheltered and hidden places
Of your soul and body...

I would share the passion of my dreams and dares with you alone.
If only you could see with my eyes, your own beauty,
Feel the truth of my desire, and begin also to know
Such love as I live with daily,

Before you would be stars and galaxies ablaze with fire.
The sweetest symphonies would fill your very veins with music,
Igniting fires of passion which have been merely embers.

Within your corporeal being would flow a hot and burning fluid,
Fired by love, dreams, fantasies, and desires,
Until...

Bursting forth in glory and in ecstasy then,
As the warmth within your belly, and your soul,
Finds its way to the surface of the woman you are,
Exploding in fantastic, all-consuming,
And, yes, orgasmic crescendo.

Leaving you, with soft doe-like eyes,
And the peaceful afterglow of love,
Safe and secure in the arms of your lover.
Each night in darkness your face fades before me,
I reach for you, longing just to touch your cheek,

But...

You are not there.

If I could use my words
I would use them to:


Tease you, tantalize you, tempt you,
Cajole, caress, and comfort you.
Take you, wrapped in love's embrace
To the heights of ecstasy,
And further still...

Until...

Gasping with the pleasure of the ride,
You collapsed with me once more,
Upon the breast of Earth.

I would use my words to:
Bring you to your knees,
Pledging undying love,
And a willingness to
Do my bidding in all ways
So that I could have the joy
Of freeing you from that pledge.

If I could use my words so well,
I would use them
To make you speak the truth
About the deepest secrets and desires
Within your heart.

And, with my words, I would assure
That you never doubted
Your secrets would be kept.
But, never could I use my words
To hurt, harm, or disrespect
The pure, sweet soul
Within your breast.

My beloved has a sweet and secret rose.

A flower hidden from the view
Of all

But,

Sometimes she allows me
To see the beauty of its petals
And gently touch the beauteous bud
Within its sweet center.

When I am allowed by my love I press
My lips to that sweet flower,
And,
Like bee, butterfly, or hummingbird,
Sip the honeyed nectar that drips within.

So sweet, so sweet....

Not just the honey that drips,
But,
The love that asks me to taste
And sample the sweetness of her secret rose.

I close my eyes and I can see, taste,
And feel,
The petals of the rose against my cheeks,
And,
The taste of the honey of her love
Upon my tongue.

Like Before

Craving again to
feel assured
in the way
your arms provide
at the exact moment
your eyes rest on
mine
no thought for the room
surrounding me
in affirmations
leaving room for no
hesitations
leaping from doubt
to thought and
covering all
with words that
glide on my skin
like a leaf
drifting
on water
