how proudly she struts
aware as his eyes follow
every move she makes
smile not quite haughty
for she desires this hot gaze
which strips her naked
her walk becomes dance
hot seductive tango
he cannot resist
(Inspired by a video of an Argentinian tango.)
----
love not in darkness
don't mute ecstasy with shame
embrace its true light
-----
drinking from petals
nectar only love can bring
to delicate folds
-----
the two skills i have
love and writing poetry
both bring only pain
-----
naked on her bed
waiting to greet her lover
gasps as he enters
-----
never having been
i still dream of paradise
adam to your eve
-----
she chose my heart's words
wove them into love's restraints
bound herself with them
-----
of possible sins
let not one of disrespect
sully our desires
----
my heart has known you
before sight or sound or taste
loving you that long
-----
eager eyes closed tight
better for my mind to see
your beauty revealed
-----
never enough words
so i keep transposing them
in revealing poems
-----
i gamble for love
tossing my poetic dice
hope to win your heart
-----
as i grow older
i recall love known and made
but words come slowly
-----
if she were my love
and she is but doesn't know
my words would tell her
-----
if i could once be
somewhere in your memories
if not in your heart
Donovan Baldwin
I love tango! I’ve been to Argentina and was enthralled by the dancing couples. So exquisite!
