By Donovan Baldwin

sunrise in pastel
muted hues of pink and gold
vibrantly low key

-----

inches above grass
red tail hawk hunts his breakfast
death defying swoop

white heron fishes
standing patiently beside
the still pond waters

woodpecker rhythm
pounded out on dawn's cold air
the world waking up

-----

breaking all the rules
loving the one way we know
mutual pleasure

-----

deep intimacy
touches over eager skin
brings high ecstasy

-----

she watches my hand
explore forbidden places
smiles and offers more

-----

touching with my eyes
i trace your womanly curves
store in memory

-----

pulsing with desire
accept this deep lover's kiss
upon blushing lips

-----

ask me for a kiss
intimate daring touches
i'll deny nothing

-----

fairest of flowers
her rosy petals glowing
dripping morning dew

-----

The waves break gently
Across the feet of lovers
Strolling still warm sand
As the sun sinks into the sea,
Lighting other lands, leaving
The lovers and this land
In darkness, and, in that dark,
They turn to one another,
Sinking to the sand,
Undressing one another,
Make sunset love,
Lovers tossing and turning,
Glowing golden
In the rolling waves.

-----

If you had been painted
Nude and totally revealed,
I would buy that painting
And display it proudly in
The living room,
Without comment,
Proudly ready to defend
The shy but daring lady
So nakedly,
And,
Had I painted it,
So lovingly
Portrayed.
