Raise eyes and heart, my love, Let dreams and desires, Held in check so long, Become your song, Dancing, daring, Let romance be the rhythm To which your body responds, Showing the true woman, Who heard love's mad music, Dancing now, seducing, or seduced, In ecstasy with the dance. - Donovan Baldwin

two souls single flame burning hotly together one conflagration ----- missing its life's mate upon her hill one dove mourns hearing no echo ----- modern sins revealed in an ancient primal dance no one ever taught her ----- rising from ashes poet eternal phoenix burning with new words ----- Among life's brambles and weeds, If you dare the thorn and bee, You will find a perfect flower, A most succulent berry, that The world has missed for Lack of courage and desire, To seek the wild, the free, The beautiful, the most Deliciously delightful Treasures beyond the gaze Of those who are not poets. ----- to her cozy nest so tightly woven and warm she welcomes her lover ----- My hand trembles Awed at the pen I dare to dip, Within bold ink, With which I'll write These words, That say so Much secrets Kept within My heart, I now trace Upon your skin, Loving poetry. ----- I feel no pain, For the injuries before, Have left me scarred and numb, And yet... And yet... I have the memory of old pain, And recognize the new pain I cannot seem to feel Despite the agony Inside and tears Without That no One can See. ----- To dance for me, she Has chosen the wild music, The moans and sighs That drive men wild, Madly in licentious movement, Clad but in the lightest veils, Daring, demanding, the attention, Of me, her lover, seated at The edge of light, Whose eyes cannot leave her. ----- she thought herself broken he showed her how beautifully their edges fit together ----- her daring dreams became fantasy made reality then satisfaction ------ guided to her blossom petals open along the way sensuously beckon ----- her breathless verses sounds that drip from silent lips sighs that are poems ----- almost forgets to breathe rapid gasps turn into moans with a cry she arches to heaven ----- in her shimmering robe transparent and unfastened reveals and then hides ----- souls finding freedom warm embrace makes hot kisses twin heartbeats pounding ----- they'll flock to see me this legendary lover who somehow won your heart ----- I am of an ancient clan, And bear a secret name. The paths my many Shades have wandered, The nameless dead Left beside my trail, All make a story, Which I tell daily, And yet none see, Or understand, for, I am but a passing breath, Sensed by those Also of my clan, but, Nameless to them, Quickly forgotten. • Donovan Baldwin

Who or how, Or, when and why I love is mine to own. No one can dictate love, Nor put it in a box labeled, This is love alone. My love may not be yours, Or theirs, or meet boundless rules, But I am free to love The one, or more, I love, By my own rules, and mine alone. • Donovan Baldwin

I turned and ran away in fear, My weakness would be shown. Loving too much, Gave the high ground To her, Leaving me, In the valley of despair. No attack which I could mount, Would cause her to surrender. No defense I could devise, Would protect me from myself. For she had won the battle, Probably never knowing, There was a war. Or, That I longed to overthrow her. Oh, though I schemed and dreamed, Plotted and conspired, I could not ever Lure her into battle, Where we could strive, One against the other. For, unlike she to me, She never counted me, As any prize worth taking. And so, beyond the dark edge of her fire, The bright glow of the woman That she is, I will circle in the shadows, Hoping just one time To be found worthy Of her notice, If not her love. • Donovan Baldwin

Midnight, Moonlight dancer, Mystic, In the silver light, Upon the shore of love's ocean, Both of us caught up In the mystique of our music, Sounds speaking to lovers Who hear the same song. Through her, It becomes a love song in motion, Telling me with the movement of her body, Touched and guided by The music in her heart, What she sees, More... What she feels. Gently wrapped in softness, Billowing, Flowing to her steps, Hips sway, Breathing deeply with the music, The emotion, The moment of the dance, Turning to me, Warm loving eyes, Dancing too with the offer of her art, She is poetry in motion, Music made a love beyond words... Arms inviting, Drawing me in So deeply I never want to leave her side, Never be where I cannot see her, Watch her in her dance, Done not only for me, But for both of us. • Donovan Baldwin

Never Was I Loved Like This It's all so new to me, Especially after so many years, Of not knowing. Never was I loved like this. I don't understand what I'm supposed to feel, Or, What to say in return. I want to say everything Ever heard In old movies, In old songs, In old poems, Because that's when I learned How to respond to love. I've lived without practice, And old words don't just seem right, For what I feel. I want to offer all of me, Yet, I have done that for decades, Without knowing love. Nothing I can say, Or Do, Can match, What I feel, And, even more. What I want to say. They just don't make words for that feeling, And so, I don't know how to say What I want to say. I'm at a loss, because, Never was I loved like this. • Donovan Baldwin
