Madman and the Mist. An Original Poem by Donovan Baldwin
Madman In The Mist
There was once a madman,
Whose anger knew no bounds.
He raged against life
For the pain, fear, and trouble,
It had brought him.
One day, he woke to find a mist,
Wafting in the air outside his door.
Angered, he stepped into the mist,
Intent on driving it away.
Instead, he felt himself enveloped
In a warm and welcome way.
Two soft and gentle arms
Enfolded him,
Comforting and cradling him.
Within the mist he saw a smiling face,
Bright eyes, soft lips,
That offered him a kiss,
And spoke kind words,
Which slowly stilled his anger.
Quietly, his head dropped to rest,
On the soft, warm breast,
Of the vision which held him,
Safe and calm within
The mist.
Those who watched saw only,
The madman drop his arms,
As the rage left his eyes,
While he stood within what seemed,
Just a white and formless mist.
Slowly, the vapor disappeared,
But, the madman remained calm.
Oh, from time to time,
He would again begin to rage,
But, the comforting apparition
Would return,
Leaving him calm and at peace,
Within his heart.
Eventually, even when there was
No apparition to soothe his ire,
Just the thought of the smiling face,
The gentle voice,
Which cooled his fire,
The comforting touch,
As she held him close,
Could drive the madness away.

FROM A MIST OF DREAMS, AND OTHER POEMS BY DONOVAN BALDWIN WRITTEN FEBRUARY 24, 2020
By Donovan Baldwin
from a mist of dreams
coalescing form takes shape
glides into my arms
-----
i fall to my knees
prepared to pay homage to
my carnal huntress
-----
her earthy desires
whispered boldly in my ear
mine to help come true
-----
always the lady
as she discretely fulfills
lascivious needs
-----
relaxed and ready
wearing an inviting smile
seductive repose
-----
featherlike touches
soft sensuous caresses
deeply arousing
-----
uncontrollable
two lusty lovers on fire
feverish thrusting
-----

POEM: MADMAN AND THE MIST
By: Donovan Baldwin
Author's Note: I am a poet. I do not normally write stories, and, this is not a serious attempt to move into that area. I leave that to those much better at it than I. However, I was thinking some special thoughts today, and this came to me. It's unedited and pretty much as it came out of my fingers. Despite being a "story", it came out in some sort of vague poetic form. Apologies for any confusion.
