Fort Worth Poet, Donovan Baldwin

IN PURSUIT OF BUTTERFLIES

lips upon her skin
in pursuit of butterflies...
fluttering inside

taking breath away
as fingers stir up their wings...
thrillingly they rise

her body follows
their exuberance of flight...
shaking with delight

PAIN BORNE IN SILENCES

cannot be denied
ache of an absent lover...
pain borne in silence


WHY THE POET SPEAKS

you are the reason
purpose hidden behind words...
why the poet speaks

RELEASE YOUR PHOENIX

strain against your chains
seek to release your phoenix...
together we can

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW

stepping from the light
you dare to test the darkness
with me as your guide
