sighing for lost love though no declaration made my heart had its dreams • Donovan Baldwin

so quickly hiding afraid she shown too much he'd seen her desires ----- sighing for lost love though no declaration made my heart had its dreams ----- quietly she stood caught unawares by steady gaze the hand he offered slowly their hands touched as their poetry entwined their songs became one words their only way yet they embraced and kissed with thoughts and moonlight ----- how daring she is what sins she'd commit for love how much he'd love that ----- careening 'round corners high speed on the straightaway desire's hot pursuit ----- aphrodite smiles knowing this mortal poet has a heart like hers no need to tell him he understands the goddess her burning beauty his heart already burns she burst his embers into flame by understanding him ----- what a lovely smile and what naughty thoughts you have mature and ripened ----- did i bring a smile amid your uncertainty let's do it again • Donovan Baldwin

Thinking Out Loud: I recently bought a book with an interesting title at a second-hand book store. Of course, I read some snippets before deciding I wanted to know more. Also, since it was only $4.99, why not? As I began reading, I was pleased to find the author's presentation interesting, engaging, logical, and lucid. However, as I progressed, I noticed two "negative" things. First, his position in many instances was antithetical to mine, and second, he had some very telling arguments for HIS side. Bummer, dude. My first instincts were frustration and anger, and I was tempted to put the book aside, sell it back to the bookstore. However, I thought about it. In exercise, running is a good example, and I was once able to run 6 miles/9.65 km, we often hit what some refer to as "the wall". We become stronger by going through that wall. Our body reaches a new reality for itself, and we discover that we are able to do more than before. We can also become healthier through this process. If I do not exercise not only my body, but also my mind, my beliefs and positions, how can I be sure of their validity and strength? In the army, one lesson was that I can do a lot more than I think I can. In learning and intellectual growth, we become stronger by meeting challenges and working past them. I can do better than quit when things get tough. So, I guess I'll read my way through "the wall" with that book, rather than throwing it AT the wall. • Donovan Baldwin

The white "snow glistening" outside that you can see far and wide The ice crystals sparkling in the sun Like treasured diamonds given to you by a loved one Fluffy like cotton or cotton candy on a stick Snow that melts away just as quick The beauty of the white so innocent and pure Like an Angel sent down to us on earth from up above written by Tammy Spears (copyright) 11-28-18 Author of "Flutter of an Eye

you have caused me pain a simple act of absence cold fire near my heart ----- hears only echoes as he calls into the dark where she disappeared ----- poems hold secrets readers uncovering truths poet never wrote • Donovan Baldwin

My life with adult (and childhood) ADD/ADHD. I was diagnosed in my 60's. I first took medicine for it then, and was blown away. I never knew my mind was that capable. I reveled in the feelings for a while. It was an unbelievable experience to hang onto a thought for longer than a few seconds (except when writing, as now). I was in awe of my newfound ability to actually look at a row of books and pick out individual titles and think about them. And, aside, part of being able to hang on to a thought while writing, is being able to go back, read what I have said, and be able to "pick up" the train of thought. Also, the predictive nature of typing especially... my fingers and brain have already agreed on the next thoughts and words. Anyway, after a while, I retired. The medicine was not good for my blood pressure, and, I wanted to let my creative brain play anyway. I miss the meds sometimes. Last night, for example, I read the same paragraph twice... simply because at the end of it, although I remembered the premise, I had forgotten the words. So, this morning, I went back and read it again... except... halfway through, I decided to write this... starting with some nebulous idea about having read the paragraph 2 1/2 times... Wonder what it says... Guess I'll go back and read it again. I really liked it... I think. Wonder what I intended to say when I started this.... Guess I'll have to go back and read what I wrote to find out... if I said whatever it was I meant to say... whatever that was... Oh well. Welcome to my world. • Donovan Baldwin
