SHARING OUR HEARTBEATS, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, APRIL 5, 2023
sharing our heartbeats
through contact of our bodies...
faster and faster
-----
my fingers tickling
as she quivers with delight...
gasping out desires
-----
in her secret place
a tickling of butterflies...
she would love to share
-----
drinking droughts of love
beneath the forbidding stars...
sinning by moonlight
-----
vibrations above
our love's sensory threshhold...
in a flowing stream
-----
reaching out with words
for i fear one more heartbreak...
i want to love you
-----
moon knows our secrets
and the tales of many loves...
night's silver voyeur
-----
hands in rushing stream
bathed by love's flowing waters...
innocent pleasure
-----
glancing back i see
dream departing with the dawn...
leaves a smile and winks

A SUNSHINE WOMAN, AND OTHER POEMS, APRIL 4, 2023
By Donovan Baldwin
a sunshine woman
loved by a creature of storm...
never to be one
-----
bring joy to sorrow
forgive all the lonely ones...
for you've been one too
-----
might i love too much
giving more than she might give...
i don't believe so
-----
hand in hand she guides
leads me to her sacred lands...
reveals rituals
-----
Oddly different sensation,
You opening my petals,
Fingers wandering through my fields.
Yet, so pleasant to know
Something about me pleases you.
The way your gaze,
And then your fingers,
And, eventually, I hope,
Your lips,
Explore my fields,
And blossoms,
Excietes me,
Raises my
Expectations,
Reignites old fires,
Which have long become,
Mere embers hidden
In a field of
Dying flowers,
Which now seek
To bloom
Once more.
-----
art may sometimes show
what the lover's mind perceives...
esoteric truths
-----
between two hillocks
poet rests his weary head...
hand on her warm plain
-----
i live without gods
mine departed years ago...
banished for their lies
-----
revealing secrets
watching her dark rose unfold...
sparkling with honey
-----
with all her freedoms
chooses to stay at my side...
free to be herself
ALTERNATE
among all freedoms
she'd gladly stand at my side...
free to be herself
-----
that which passed between
lancelot and guinevere...
noble sins indeed
-----
at work she's the boss
at home they are both equals...
sometimes she lets go
-----
fragrant fantasy
mouth tasting once more her breaths...
kiss we've never had
-----
in my mind and heart
you are unable to sin...
all you do is love
-----
as if in a dream
caught by love's strong gravity...
orbit about you
-----
searched within my words
found hidden a beating heart...
we touched each other

HER DEEPEST KISSES, AND OTHER SHORT POEMS, APRIL 3, 2023
her deepest kisses
leave tastes of sin on my lips...
and desires for more
-----
fearful of desires
but longing for their hot flames...
clutched her poet's hand
-----
stirring her embers
she explodes in ecstasy...
thus he makes her whole
-----
taught her not to fear
the heat of her own fires...
his heart in her flames
-----
her blush fast rising
ahead of my passing lips...
a breeze of kisses
-----
she weeps as she reads
his old tattered manuscript...
book of ancient scars
-----
seeking not to hide
out of love before his eyes...
exposes her secrets
-----
two soft voices blend
innocents in paradise...
flowers all they wear
-----
poet who loves her
puts more than words in her mouth...
stretching to a smile
-----
you can't see yourself
genuine wonder you are...
so i will show you
-----
sitting and waiting
for whatever time may bring...
i'm ready for it
-----
shadwos on the page
letters scattered off and hid...
poems meant for her
-----
long i've shadowed you
secrets hidden among poems...
i hoped would trap you
-----
now time draws away
only echoes surrond me...
and useless poems
------
yet i follow you
along the path you've chosen...
love's hope never dies
-----
having made love
i set down pen and lift glass...
relive what i wrote
-----

HER PENT UP DESIRES, AND OTHER MICROPOEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
her pent up desires
swore herself to keep hidden...
the secrets he sought
-----
holds her lips apart
kiss beginning or at end...
open promises
-----
i lost sight of love
just how brightly it can shine...
in the darkest hours
-----
her colors arrive
touching my heart before spring...
our special season
-----
memories wander
light and dark some good some bad...
sometimes bad ones stick
-----
sometimes my old wounds
open beneath life's demands...
bleeding for a while
-----
no peace or quiet
constant noise and vibration...
shattering my thoughts
-----
near the train's too loud
fading into the distance...
leaves us quiet thoughts
-----
a lover's question
does love end and lust begin...
can they coexist
-----
with a small sadness
i quit following my dreams...
they never noticed
-----
dancer transitions
urban gray to forest green...
vibrantly alive
-----
i guess i shamed her
allowng her to see true me...
for she turned away
-----
listen for her voice
all i can hear are footsteps...
as distant echoes
-----
said she loved my words
yet never heard from again...
guess she forgot me
