POEM - I ACHE TO SPEAK - SOMETIMES I TREMBLE WITH DESIRE
BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
Sometimes, I tremble with desire,
Which flames and flares within my heart,
And, forces me to the edge of those...
Places I dare not go...
Things I dare not do...
Words I dare not say...
With relentless power, these desires,
Painfully thrust my timid soul,
Into a world of truth and trust...
Causing me to wish...
Asking me to share...
Daring me to act...
With each new day, stronger comes desire,
Moving me forward towards a brink,
From which I must confess, that...
I waver in weakness...
I crave fulfillment...

HER SHY DECORUM, AND OTHER POETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN WRITTEN JANUARY 21, 2020
By Donovan Baldwin
her shy decorum
leaves to imagination
only my desire
-----
i am but shadow
near forgotten memories
young man's fantasies
-----
set my heart on fire
illuminate each dark night
your smile my beacon
-----
my woman's body
aged ripened mature ready
alive with desire
-----
did i create you
draw you forth from fantasies
or am i your dream
-----
soft touch of satin
your skin beneath my fingers
so warmly wanting
-----
she taught me of love
opened my eyes to beauty
starting with myself
-----
i write naked truth
poetry of your beauty
words cannot describe
-----
