showing our secrets set aside propriety... let us be lovers together naked clothing and pretense aside... skins and souls revealed intimate moments once just private fantasies... shared as part of love ----- dark echoing moor in beautiful loneliness... cries the soul he seeks ----- blossom to candle petals unfold in the heat... rose of pastel flames ----- a weeping flower shedding tears of ecstasy... caught up in passion ----- thoughts turned to touches ancient cries from deep inside... quivers of delight ------ archpriestess intones paean and wordless orison... ecstasy's anthems ----- i've no scrap of cloth nor lingering kiss or touch... yet she left much with me ----- wonder what you're doing where you are right this moment... so blindly in love ----- hair a morning mess more arousing than "coiffure"... on a naked lover ----- If we exist only in one climate, one culture, one tribe, one set of beliefs or customs, one ecosystem, how can we know and appreciate the possibilities that exist "outside", the strengths "inside", and the existence of a universe of facts and fantasy to tease and challenge us. ----- i will learn best to touch you the way you touch me... teach by example ----- That perfect moment Dancing with you in moonlight To private music Our naked desires exposed By flowing silver movements. ----- pen scratching old scars with ink from dried blood and tears... i write poetry the love i dreamed of fantasies i hoped to know... brought to life in words maybe it is now that one dream may become real... emerging from my words ----- In our evening chats I have told the moon your name And she promised me That when she passed overhead, She'd whisper to you for me. ----- burning in her breast words i've written on her heart... i will come and claim ----- someday it will end these sad lives of empty arms... we'll fill each other ----- sexy sleepy eyes muttered words i know mean love... how you snuggle up to me ----- • Donovan Baldwin

There's an old carpenter's adage, "Measure twice, cut once." In other words, don't just lay the tape out, assume that what you saw, or thought you saw (no pun intended - well, maybe a little), was correct. It's worth checking what you're about to do before doing it so that you don't have to regret afterwards. You can't add back that extra inch or centimeter you accidentally cut off because you got the first measurement wrong. You cannot always reclaim a relationship, your personal pride or self-esteem, or restore someone else's, once you've whacked it off at the wrong point... or for the wrong reason. Oh, sure, in the real world, we often have to do things "on the fly", or, simply, being the messy, imperfect humans that we sometimes are, go with our first reaction, and, to steal a thought, regret at leisure. Still, there are times when taking a second look, doing a reassessment of the situation, and, our intended response, IS possible. May be worth the effort. You might discover that your first reaction is sometimes a little "off". After all, "heat" CAN make things change size, or look hazy, temporarily. Might want to re-measure when everything's cooled down. Or, just apologize. That sometimes DOES put that extra inch or centimeter back on. Magic. • Donovan Baldwin

Is there a sense you do not touch, A thought that is not somehow Linked to you, our connection Somehow, somewhere beyond Psychic, a physical and psychological Bond which makes love making Everything which happens Between our bodies and our souls, Our ecstasy an experience beyond The fleeting excitement of orgasm? • Donovan Baldwin

I have to step inside my head From time to time you see, For if I don't check in on him, Then he's not really me. I can't leave id and ego Alone upon their shelf For I must supervise the two, Or else I'm not myself. And then there's superego Taking charge of all, Upset with my intrusion, Each time I come to call. • Donovan Baldwin

By Donovan Baldwin

She is beautiufl, you see, How comfortably she sits, Calmly in her nakedness, As I, the artist, seek to Copy the curves and colors, Proud of what we do together, Yet, I, sad, that for all my skill, The picture will never be her, Only a figment of the person, For she is so much more Beautiful inside than this. • Donovan Baldwin Photograph at Cincinnati Art Museum by Donovan Baldwin
