I would watch the storms
Walls of rain clearly defined
Walk, as we say, across the bay,
Purple black streaks painted
From dark sky to dark water,
A silent mysterious torrent
Full of thunder and lightning,
Power displayed too far away,
Yet oncoming reality.

-----

In night's darkness,
The slightly darker
Waves in moonlight,
Curl with glowing crests,
Covering the sand
And receding,
Leaving the wet shore
Glistening somewhere
Between brown and silver,
And a salt spray smell,
Lingers with the echo,
Of the wave now gone.

-----

a warrior gone
battle armor gloves and mask...
death on the front line

-----

each sunrise sunset
watch well and remember all...
this time comes but once

-----

in her secret place
there hides my long vagrant muse...
silent in my ear

-----

if the rain be tears
you become my raging storm...
before which i break

-----

I need no paints
To draw my love,
Nor does she need,
Paints to draw me on,
For the model as she sits
Is the woman I wish to have
Not paints and powders
Baubles added to
Lips I wish to kiss,
Body I long to hold.
Heart I wish were mine.

-----

instead of angel
real experienced woman...
warm true and willing

-----

prisoner am i
life and happiness forfeit...
pacing in my cell

she slowly pours wine
flowing over her body
my eager lips drink

-----

i open my lips
she pours her love over them
i drink her sweetness

-----

loving hummingbird
tongue amid blossom's petals
savors sweet nectar

-----

hear the thunder roll
watch the lightning burn the sky
my arms around you

-----

time waited for us
held its breath for us to meet
sighed when we first touched

-----

is it romantic
or intensely erotic...
perhaps both the same

-----

take me on a tour
show me all the high hard spots
and tranquil places

-----

seduces with words
penetrating poetry
and orgasmic odes

-----

she turns with a smile
accepting my bold challenge
daring in her touch

-----

i was the hunter
who chased the sweetest prey and
fell into her trap

-----

my burning body
on fire for the touch of you
your soothing kisses

-----

silken is the night
i wrapped her in and silver
the moon above her

-----

sweet fruit she offers
soft globes tipped with tart cherries
warm nectar to drink

-----

write my name in flames
burning it into your heart
a conflagration

-----

By: Donovan Baldwin

When rain falls,
Wind blows,
Thunder and lightning
Split the sky,
I come alive,
Enter the clouds,
Ride the wind,
Thunder shakes my soul,
Lightning brands my heart,
I soar,
I sail,
Aloft above this earth,
No longer bound
By time,
Ageless,
Free as an eagle, wolf,
Within my storm.
