Ravensong Poetry And Writing Blog by Donovan Baldwin

By Donovan Baldwin

Pacific waves beat rocks
Leaping into the sky
With exultation
And exuberance,
In their tumultuous
Excitement, showing off,
For birds, sea lions,
Tourists,
Amateur photographers,
And lovers who love
Each other, and,
The leaping of the waves.

-----

touch my many scars
make the ancient pains abate
weep for old losses

-----

within our dark room
seeing with our roving hands
intimate details

-----

Yes, the rising of the sun
Half dreamed aroma of coffee,
The burgeoning mass of
Poetic thoughts pushing
Against the rusty gateway
Of my sleeping mind,
Strive to waken me,
But, it is the thoughts
I have of you and me,
Which rouse me,
In private ways,
To cast the covers back
And, with bare feet
Upon cold floor,
Rise to greet the day.

-----

You are a force
Immutable beyond expectation,
Seeing the soft warmth,
With which you approach,
Arms outstretched to embrace,
Bringing substance to
A rapidly misting
Creature lost in legend
And walking in lands
Of fantasy and legend,
Changing innocent mortals
Into confused historians
And wandering poets.

-----

warm beside my own
i sense your sleeping body
dream i'm not dreaming

-----

i awake at four
spending my next two gray hours
between sleep and dreams

-----

unconditional
unrestrained intimacy
carnal ecstasy

i want your bare skin
more comfortable to wear
than any clothes you own

-----

Waves wash over sand,
Erasing footprints we left.
Grass grows up and over,
Covering man made marks
No longer needed
Nor maintained.
Time moves on, and stories
Never quite ending, are made
Of chapters fading into history,
From memory, until all marks
Of their passing fade away.

-----

you're wearing moonlight
wrapped in my adoring gaze
dancing my desires

-----

my head on your heart
so absorbed in your being
each part of the whole

-----

share your fantasy
show me your most secret world
the part i should play

-----

so desirable
sure it was her prim facade
hiding fires inside

-----

i gave up on love
then one day i read your words
dared believe again

-----

building the tension
eyes make love before actions
unconditional

-----

such ready peaches
succulent fruit needs tending
blushing in ripeness

-----

make me an offer
one you know i'll not refuse
ask me to love you

-----

if life's a mirror
let's make love in front of it
reflecting it all

-----

may i call you mine?
no obligation incurred
just my lifelong love.

-----

what am i doing?
thinking of you far away
as i do each day.

-----

miss that thing you do
yes, that, it drives me so wild
your imagined touch

-----

share your fantasy
show me your most secret world
the part i should play

-----

my head on your heart
so absorbed in your being
each part of the whole

-----

why not go inside
not just explore the surface
make love completely

-----

my words echoing
owls hooting crickets chirping
meaning more to you

-----

we make love our way
not too much nor too little
just right unrestrained

-----

cupping your body
bare skin to bare skin embrace
protecting my treasure

-----

reluctant lover
asking to be made love to
shedding her shyness
