YOU IMPRESS ME, AND OTHER POEMS, BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 5, 2024
You impress me...
The way your words
Carry the tactile message
Of body to body,
Tongue to tongue,
The taste of the inner you,
Drippings of desire,
Gathered in licking kisses,
Shared without shame
In the form of poetry,
For the moment,
A liquid feast for lovers,
Bound to taste the most
Intimate messages
Beyond words.
-----
eternal question
what is it like to be loved
don't know the answer
------
i've never seen you
yet how beautiful you are
your words bear witness
-----
tied to her poet
lashed by her own desires
the freedom she seeks
-----
aria amour
beautiful ecstatic song
bursting from within
-----
withholding pleasure
until she can wait no more
achieving climax
-----
never enough words
so we choose another way
with hugs and kisses
-----
a night of whispers
stories told by stroking hands
with ecstatic sighs
-----
beautiful her song
the way she pulls each note forth
as her fingers strum
-----
no one to save me
on the slippery road through hell
that others call life
------
smiling her soul ablaze
for her poetic arsonist
who loves to watch her flames
-----
wanting you to be you
not put on a show for me
sexier that way
-----
wonder who i am
for i belong to no one
and none will claim me
-----
dancing in the rain
she's filled with liquid music
raindrops notes on skin
------
she's sexy when wild
so unladylike and free
as eve might have been
-----
in the lonesome night
i await your messages
though my hopes grow dim
-----
who used whom i ask
which was humiliated
left trembling alone
-----
a poet's subject
once marked she lived on
ever immortal
-----
this poem's gentle
the next wildly erotic
you will be in both
-----
words those moving things
that found their way inside her
touching her pleasures
-----
poetry brings her
to a sort of ecstasy
at the tips of words
-----
yet though i will dream
dream is all it will remain
in which you visit

WHEN YOUR WORDS APPEAR, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 4, 2024
when your words appear
i know poetry's arrived
because it's from you
-----
you frighten yourself
intensity of desires
bursting into flame
-----
in the august rain
drops tapping out a lover's tune
background to kisses
-----
didn't mind your sins
and then you accepted mine
shared and compared
-----
could have anyone
somehow she picked a poet
fairy tale of course
-----
wish my love to love
who and when and how she will
that is how i love
-----
suddenly you're here
granting me in loving ways
the gift of yourself
-----
you are the name of love
the delightful figure in the night
who shares the stars and moon
-----
never again to know
wild embrace of willing arms
the arching of delight
surging cries of ecstasy
-----
she so touched my heart
by giving me all of herself
entirely trusting
-----
how long will linger
thoughts of what we might have had
if fate were kinder
-----
i left you behind
took my memories with me
cruel to both of us
never forgot you
-----
watch for you daily
wishing and wondering if...
that's it that's all... if
-----
never been a lover
yet i've always been in love
with you and you and you
------
use me she told me
and so i did what she said
to break my own heart
-----
never weep for me
pain has all been caused by me
by loving too much
-----
life's been a struggle
how'd i ever get this far
without dying
-----
i typed love letters
well disguised as poetry
written just for you
-----
her eyes filled with love
lips to speak of sweet desire
yet remains faceless
-----
legs wrapped around me
held up by the wall and me
sex in the hallway
-----
would you if you could
do that thing you've not yet dared
yet dream of daily
-----
downpour of desire
daunting deluge of delight
delicious desserts
-----
wind stirs autumn leaves
raising them in colorful swirls
like billowing skirts
-----
you left me for dead
yet somehow i found the strength
to follow forever
-----
picking through your words
finding out your needs and wants
saving them in poems
-----
i write you often
yet you answer so seldom
yet i write again
-----
sprawled upon the bed
lovers' new positions of passion
tangled in each other
--...
capturing fingers
tightly woven pathway leads
him to her grotto
-----
i'm a silent man
just fingers know how to speak
i hope you hear them
-----
never heard you say
that you cared one bit for me
like i cared fo you
-----
he immerses her
in another baptism
of a carnal source
-----
i did it for you
write a poem about me
make me immortal
------

ALONE TOGETHER, AND OTHER ORIGINAL POETRY BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 3, 2024
alone together
hand in hand we stroll your paths
among your petals
-----
when YOU are ready
that's when the time will be right
let no one push you
-----
I've never met you
yet think about you often
set you down in words
-----
it's not about me
but i'm having so much fun
watching you take wing
-----
in some of your words
mark me down as accomplice
for the part i played
-----
i dreamed you loved me
something that can never be
let me have the dream
-----
looked into his sky
where she found a different star
pulsing with desire
-----
serene in the knowledge
that they'll never be perfect
accept for each other
-----
yours the only heart
calling to me with heartbeats
that my heart can hear
-----
it amazes me
so many poems you've caused
sharing your purpose
-----
hooked on poet's words
poems make her strip her soul
exposing herself
-----
keep my fire alive
feed me the fuel for my flames
your burning desires
-----
in love it matters
that our pleasing ourselves
makes each other happy
-----
holding her he asks
do your desires frighten you
let's conquer them together
-----
do i respect you
despite daring words you write
or because you dare write them
i hope you know why
-----
i always seek you
whether i'm happy or sad
because i always need you
-----
some won't understand
the way poetry releases
the body and mind
-----
hammer of fingers
taut and straining vibrations
shatter need's crystal
-----
why do i not speak
it's not my place or time
i am not wanted
-----
odd this memory
i remember loving you
in lives not YET lived
-----
i would give you all
if i had anything to give
other than poems
-----
poet falls silent
without words i am nothing
just whispers on a breeze
-----
i recall my youth
delicious and delightful sins
committed now in dreams
-----
much as i desire
you will never be my love
except in my heart
-----
she desires but fears
this offering of herself
for the sake of love
he'll never allow
the indiscriminate use
of body or soul
yet he will guide her
into darkness she desires
guard and protect her
-----
perhaps tomorrow
the day my love returns to me
back from her darkness
-----
naked you're floating
a dance upon my back
face down on my skin
-----

SOME SECRET PICTURES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 2, 2024
some secret pictures
taken from a secret place
reveal her secrets
-----
her hands harvesting
summer rains of her desires
her lover arrives
-----
man seeks to return
to the font from which he sprang
taste its salt sea tang
-----
she has found her place
within my mind's wild pleasures
necessary to them
-----
your body my page
skin quivers beneath my pen
as words come alive
-----
gasp of excitement
words like eager butterflies
fill her with pleasure
-----
from its hidden place
she selects a pleasure toy
and one of his poems
-----
a story for her
rousing and erotic tale
she has often dreamed
-----
always at her side
he helps explore her dark desires
the fuel for her fires
-----
as lace revealed her
she recognized the woman
she was meant to be
-----
two starving lovers
savor a feast of amour
their private banquet
-----
i remind myself
i'm too old to feel this way
yet again i do
-----
aloft upon your gale
soar as slow and steady winds
erupt into a gale
-----
left so far apart
best stars of the universe
different galaxies
-----
last scrap covering falls
steps naked into her new love
adventure awaits
-----
what's me without you
how empty would be my shell
if i can't have you

YOUR PASTEL PAGES AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 1, 2024
Your pastel pages
Fluttering beneath the pen,
Pearlescent ink barely seen,
Underlining and marking,
The curves and folds,
Of the delicious flower,
Precious cup from which
Poet drinks his wine.
-----
tastes words one by one
as they drip my mouth to hers
become poetry
-----
look into your eyes
imagining the thoughts you hide
behind quiet fire
-----
life's greyscale rainbow
yesterday a happy day
today sad shadows
-----
no longer restrained
released from one set of bonds
gives herself to him
-----
never saw your face
yet i know you're beautiful
your words have told me
never touched your skin
yet I've left words written there
by your gentle hand
never heard your voice
yet i know sighs in the dark
have followed my words
-----
your kiss saps my strength
your embrace restores my youth
i need both to live
-----
serving me coffee
wearing my pajama shirt
carefully unbuttoned
-----
why you can't love me
i'm too old and you're so young
i just want you happy
-----
She put on a show about sin
Delightfully uncovered skin,
She showed him the way
Nice girls shouldn't play,
And then she invited him in.

A LOVER'S TALE - A POEM BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
On wet gray stones my boot heels clattered,
Echoes from silent walls... as if it mattered,
That she and I had passed this way,
And, parted at the dawn of day.
One hurried night of thoughtless pleasure,
While taken to its coarsest measure,
Within my heart a bright light gleamed,
It had been more than what it seemed.
Touched, oh yes touched deeply by,
The lady who had caught my eye,
Who I had claimed so casually,
Yet, tossed aside so soon to be...
And yet, 'twas I was caught within,
As net of love rose from our sin,
And as I heard the first bell toll,
She left ME there, a joke so droll.
As I lay, unbelieving and heartsore,
She left my world and shut the door,
And let the darkness in my soul,
Yes, on ME a joke so droll.

Who Needs a Cohabitation Agreement and Why They Need One
It can be confusing trying to figure out who needs a cohabitation agreement, and why.
What is a cohabitation agreement?
At its simplest, it is a written contract that life partners enter into before living together permanently. A cohabitation agreement will address financial and property issues which may occur during the relationship, and should the relationship end. Taking care of such issues before the need to address them occurs is one way of relieving stress on the relationship.
Recent news stories have focused a lot on same-sex relationships and the financial and legal difficulties faced by same-sex partners. Many people would have no problem understanding why gay couples would have an interest in cohabitation agreements. However, the public, including some people in these relationships, may not realize that a large segment of the population also may need these types of legal forms and documents.
One phrase to look at is simply 'unmarried life partners'. These could be a child living with and tending an aging parent for example, or simply two people of the same or different sexes who have permanently taken upon themselves a partnership with the other for whatever reason. The key issue is that they are individuals who are living together in what is considered and intended to be a long-term situation.
While this article is not intended to provide legal advice, it might be in the interests of anyone in this sort of situation to either contact a lawyer or look into some sort of cohabitation agreement software or do-it-yourself legal forms.
A good point to consider should you decide to follow the do-it-yourself route is what additional documents you and your life partner may need beyond the cohabitation agreement itself.
For example, there will be questions of finances, health care, property rights, and after-death issues. Just as a married couple would address these by preparing such legal forms as quitclaim deeds, power of attorney, last will and testament, and/or a living will or living trust, life partners will be well advised to consider these issues as well. Only sometimes having the same protections under law as a typical married couple might have, it is important to prepare for all eventualities in advance of need.
Fortunately, there are many comprehensive cohabitation agreement software packages and legal forms bundles available online, and it would be in the interest of anyone in a long-term relationship with someone who could be considered a life partner to look into this type of material.
