POETRY - THE SHADOWS BEHIND ME, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN, AUGUST 21, 2024
 |
| Arthur Conan Doyle |
Haunting me for decades
Conan-Doyle, Steinbeck,
Chesterton, White,
Burroughs and Tuttle,
Carrol and Milne,
The Lone Wolf,
And Nero Wolfe,
Bulldog Drummond and Doc Strange,
Shell Scott and Travis McGee,
Tarzan and Kazan,
The cold rings about
Unknown planets, and
Unknown heroes who died alone,
Believing it was worth the price,
And those you've never heard of,
And I've forgotten who in passing,
Managed to help me become who I am.
-----
one by one words end
one by one their echoes cease
poet is alone
-----
what purpose words
but for inflicting pain
upon myself
-----
gods deserted me
left me only echoes
of empty poems
-----
promises wither
I've a garden full of those
weeds and dead roses
-----
i said i love you
words i meant with all my heart
spoken from my prison
-----
in my life I've known
broken bones and broken heart
the one heals faster
-----
she reached out for me
i had no hands to touch her
love fell between us
-----
i would promise all
I've so little left to give
all i am is yours
-----
easily given
promises are brittle things
easily broken
for many decades
i've collected promises
in memory's bin
the tiny pieces
left when each one fell apart
so sharp they drew blood
-----
came to him naked
all she owned was left behind
her mind and arms open
-----
moon's silver slivers
whispered indecent proposals
among naked trees
-----
here's the only rule
do to my heart what you will
but you must mean it
-----
your clothes discarded
you cuddle up on my lap
bare skins caressing
-----
she's quite flexible
bending herself to shared whims
mutual desires
-----
touched her in those ways
she only dreamed of knowing
until she met him
-----
yes for love indeed
and mutual adventures
with a select few
-----
a gracious hostess
spreads herself on his table
entrée and dessert
-----

Relying On Natural Things
By: Donovan Baldwin
If there's one thing we should learn from social media and the internet, it's that words can be used in almost any fashion...and not always honestly.
There are certain words we like to use, and to here about. We see them in advertisements and in news articles. Most of the time when we see words, such as "natural", as in natural ingredient, natural remedy, or natural solution, we ten to assume that, somehow, "natural" means good...maybe even "better"!
Not always so. As I like to point out, rattlesnake venom is "natural" as are heart attacks. In fact, science has often been able to improve on the performance of natural remedies and ingredients.
There are companies whose reputation rests almost entirely on natural products, usually having to do with health and fitness, but, also with home care and cleaning.
This is commendable in some respects. I like the idea of using some natural product, such as Shaklee Herb-Lax® Natural Laxative, to provide a natural remedy, approved by Mother Nature herself to solve my digestive problems.
Still, whether the product is "natural" or not, the proof is in the pudding. A natural solution should be put to the same tests, and held to the same standard, as any other product.
