always a struggle
life's not been a happy time
seeking peace and rest
-----
she is of nature
spirit creature of the wild
in a poet's dreams
-----
do you see yourself
within all the words i write
do you feel their touch
-----
two outside the fold
dancing to a pagan drum
joined by eager words
-----
though read by many
certain special poems of mine
meant for only one
-----
a crackling campfire
tunes from gypsy violins
love in the shadows
-----
loving messages
though i feed upon their words
no one talks to me
-----
behind his high walls
wounded by love poet waits
bleeding poetry
-----
kisses hold our words
embraces are sentences
speaking about love
-----
words from my fingertips
a love story in progress
on your trembling skin
-----
take my poetry
play with it throughout the day
adding your own lines
-----
wild my butterfly
gaily dancing on the wind
in colors of fire
-----
in the words unsaid
thoughts that make her smile with joy
she knows what i mean
-----
i chose long ago
to find one who loved like me
and give her my heart
Donovan Baldwin
