kneeling she confesses her sins
tenderly he raises her
in his arms embraced they exchange kisses
and, leaving old selves, and clothes behind,
they enter a world where love
in all its forms
is never a sin
-----
naked neath the cloth
bit by bit reveals herself
to lover's sight and touch
-----
can you see the oak in an acorn
or the epic tale in a tiny poem
or do you wait for the seed to sprout
the oak and tale to grow in time
until they become monuments
which must be acknowledged
-----
expressing our love
most rules have little meaning
we love by our own
who and when and how
the manner of our pleasures
decided by us
common agreement
between and among lovers
based upon respect
-----
when it comes to love
you and i are much alike
there's never enough
-----
when you take me inside
who will i meet within
and what will be shared
among all lovers present
-----
dare you love like me
the only criterium
being love like mine
-----
please don't describe me
always exist at my side
love will define me
Donovan Baldwin
