POEM: SIMPLICITY OF HER SEDUCTION

By Donovan Baldwin

The simplicity of her seduction,

Totally unaware and unintended,

The naturalness of the woman
Who could not believe her own beauty,
No matter how often I might tell her,
That spoke to me and drew me closer
Heated by the reality of her own inner
And most genuine passion which
I could see but she felt compelled to hide,
Became my guiding torch, my muse,
And put the erotic spirit into my poetry,
As I desired to love her fully the only way
I ever could, even if she never knew the truth.

BELLY DANCE INDEED, AND OTHER POEMS WRITTEN JANUARY 20, 2020

BY Donovan Baldwin

vintage belly dancer
Belly dance indeed,
Named for a reason
Central point of observation,
Never still for eyes to settle,
Gaze dancing from bright smile
Offering only more secrets
Just as those hinted at
By changing visions of
Breast and thigh and hips,
Face and body and arms,
In constant erotic motion
To the driving beat of
Music intended to arouse
Dancer and watcher.

-----

my angel lover
halo and robe on the floor
folds me in her wings

-----

this sweet entrapment
unintended seduction
by her honeyed words

-----

my second coffee
offering me promises
i hope it will keep

-----

moonlight lovemaking
isolated incident
or common affair

-----

you may touch my books
caress their pages with me
share their seduction

-----

her ancient lover
in a mist of memory
guides her heart and hand

-----

dearest instrument
touched with loving lips and hands
music bursting forth

-----

dearest instrument
touched with loving lips and hands
music bursting forth

-----

her voice soaring high
vibrato and tremolo
impure crescendo

-----

my chest becomes tight
emotions within me swell
i rise overcome

-----

never without you
each moment of every day
filled with your presence

POEMS, COMMENTS, AND HAIKU BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

more precious than gold
she tastes of flowing honey
flavor of her love

------

yield yourself to me
not as prisoner or slave
bound but by our love

-----

lips so soft and warm
your breast a welcome refuge
hold me close with love

-----

crater of your hips
hidden secret of my dreams
lovingly explored

-----

curving of body
seduction in word and deed
ultimate lover

-----

Come with me to the high land,
To the hot desert beside
The brooding mountains,
Deeply engrossed in thoughts,
Beyond the understanding of mortals,
For they have lived so long,
Above the burning desert,
With its dead secrets,
Have seen so much,
Becoming history
That only they remember...
Come with me and
Listen silently with respect,
To their unspoken tales.

-----
