just to look at you
my emptiness filled by you
complete forever
then to take your hand
fingers small but happy birds
in the nest of mine
together embraced
bodies touching skin to skin
as we become one
-----
i wish you could know
the many poems you've caused
the many thoughts of you
-----
i must praise you for
choosing the right path for you
others dare not walk
-----
love's living goddess
a matron worn and weary
nakedly weeping
-----
think, love, of a nest
where weary but loving souls
find companionship
-----
should your love find love
you know sorrow or sadness
if you love or not
-----
when the moment comes
and does she in ecstasy
his pleasure complete
-----
waited all my life
to find one who thinks like me
only different
-----
her body exposed
every sensation aroused
naked mind revealed
-----
not a beast at all
just an old soldier poet
who's seen and done much
Donovan Baldwin
