- I NEVER BROKEIn Poetry·September 16, 2023I never broke, but, Because I was too strong, I shattered along lines, Weeping hard crystals Out of scars and wounds, Yet, so clear and clean, Wete the cuts that None could detect the Carnage upon my soul, Belied by the quiet And gentle wrods I write. • Donovan Baldwin000
- TO GREATNESS GONEIn Poetry·September 16, 2023Are there no longer pens To dip within that magic ink From whence once sprang Adventurers, harlots, philanderers, kings, So many other noble rogues Stepped down from dreams, And tales long past? Can no poet now recall The noble, evil foes As they once were drawn? Ah, for one, such as "The Cardinal", Who so well understood The duties and obligations of A wise and caring enemy. • Donovan Baldwin000
- "LOVE AND ART EMBRACE"... A QUOTE AND MY THOUGHTSIn Advice and Articles·September 16, 2023I saw the following quote this morning by Karl Kraus (Austrian, 1874 - 1936). "“Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.”" I enjoyed the quote, but, being the nitpicker that I am, I might have said "not merely embrace", and, "but also what is made beautiful". I believe it's an interactive process, between the subject, the artist, and the audience, with each capable of changing the other. • Donovan Baldwin000

Magic as sunlight Or the wildflowers and birds, Which bless our eager embrace. #tanka ----- For the quiet shy watcher, Once again for love, I drop all pretense, Lay words out face up, Revealing my secrets, The desires I would Share with her as I Strip myself bare For her, exposed by All the words That once hid me, InviIing her to respond. ----- my words upon her echoing gasp my reward... primal plea for more ----- the breeze conducted a sibilant symphony... played by the flowers ----- we hurried home and just inside against the wall... fulfilled promises ----- i am but a ghost condemned i watch others live... depart unfulfilled ---- look into her eyes deep behond their clear cool depths... see the fires they hide hot desires she's felt lived with for so long a time... hid well from others silently she pleads for rescue by a lover... who adores her flames ----- kissing her bare back up and down and side to side... till she turns over ----- sunset's dying fires make all bright and beautiful... last gift before night argent moon appears coats all in silver shadows... softly beautiful this lesson i learned you are always beautiful... each and every hour ----- would you write for me expose secrets to my eyes... the way lovers do ----- I never broke, but, Because I was too strong, I shattered along lines, Weeping hard crystals Out of scars and wounds, Yet, so clear and clean, Wete the cuts that None could detect the Carnage upon my soul, Belied by the quiet And gentle wrods I write. ----- . so exposed to him he speaks to private places... she awaits more words ----- • Donovan Baldwin000
- POEM: HOURS SPENT NOT LOSTIn Poetry·September 16, 2023Some might say I lost an hour, As I sat in silence contemplating Something they could never With their senses apprehend, Fine word that, apprehend, To capture, As time passes, spent, Watching nature at its best, Scanning the pages of A timeworn book, A scrap of doggerel, Someone's random thought, Time becoming something Spent for something earned, Made more valuable to me, By that time I spent, not truly lost, For it's bcome poetry. • Donovan Baldwin000
- SHE IS A CELEBRATIONIn Poetry·September 16, 2023She is more than gift, She is a celebration Of the joys and pleasures, Of life and love, given, Freely of herself, all She has to give full in The knowledge that he, So far away in distance, Replies the only way he can In never ending words. • Donovan Baldwin001

- OH, THE SPELL SHE CASTSIn Poetry·September 16, 2023Oh, the spell she casts, With the beat of her feet, Her body swaying provocatively, Hands inviting, Laughing face encouraging, Resurrecting old desires With the wild and free Movements of the woman, Finding her love within the music, Daring me to dance. • Donovan Baldwin000
- LOVERS IN THE RAINIn Poetry·September 16, 2023Lovers in the rain, Wet clothes stuck to Wet bodies. Wet bodies stuck to Wet bodies. Lips stuck to lips, As the rain falls, Streams of liquid, Sticking us together, Breathing into one another, Chests rise and fall together, In the warm rain Washing over two Lovers in the rain. • Donovan Baldwin000
- IN AN INTIMATE ETERNITYIn Poetry·September 16, 2023Perhaps we two loved in another time and place, Or, swept together in the winds of destiny, Are lovers in a reality not yet happened. You and I are, were, will be meant to be united, Hand in hand, heart to heart, embraced by each In an intimate eternity recognized at first glance. • Donovan Baldwin000
