- FURNACE OF DESIRES, AND OTHER THOUGHTS, OCTOBER 15, 2024In Poetry·October 16, 2024furnace of desires pleasure's delicious heat glows... her resolve melting ----- she comes to poet in silver gown the moon made... lace of wants and words ----- With the northern wind howling, I gave my horse his head, And blundered cross a dessert Buried beneath snow, Looking for lonesome words Lost in the roaring blast, To round them up and take Them to safety in a poem. In that wordless wilderness, The poet and his steed, Did all someone can do to Save beauty from the world. ----- She is a garden Sensual pastel petals, Small field of fingertips, Moving to the breeze of Passing breath as the Warm lips of this Insatiable honeybee Seek love's flowing nectar, The taste lingering long Within his mouth so he May remember her flower Which bloomed for him. ----- the finest flower is worth the wrath of its thorns... when tended not plucked ----- Having "been around", he considered himself immune to seduction, but this was different. The way she looked in the moonlight, simply walking across the room in a simple gown, was the most innocently seductive think he'd ever seen. For the first time in his life full of sex and violence, he desired a woman for herself... however she would come to him. ----- The most common things Become a pleasure, Something to laugh about Together and point out, To share each moment, The pleasure of being One with the other, Making each commonplace Event something special, Shared moments what We live and laugh for. ----- i try to be good but it's not in my nature... to not desire you ----- she well understands questions i haven't asked her... responds with a kiss ----- The heat of your body beside me Might as well be naked With the pressure and the warmth The way your form fits mine One curve into the other Molding and melding, Changing positions with Little murmurs of content At each new contact Making love, Penetration Touch into need, Intimacy of the first order ----- Is there some way to touch you other than with a breath of words which are immaterial and fall apart within inches of my lips never crossing even one of the miles that lie between our hearts. ----- She was quiet, so quiet, yet, in her eyes he saw flames. Her cool words sometimes smoldered with suggestive embers, meanings left unspoken, but there. He knew the woods, the waters, the sky... he knew nature, and what she showed the world was not her true nature. He loved nature, loved her. ----- Graceful as a swan She arches, beautiful, Enrapt by warm desires Sweeping along her body, The satisfaction beginning As tiny embers burst into fire Spreading their flames licking Their way throughout her curling Her with the heat of their passing. ----- She listens to hear The words I murmur Over the beating of my heart, Beneath her resting head, For, as I speak, The passion of my feelings, The fervor of my words Is reflecting in The thunder which rolls Beneath her warm cheek. ----- Began side by side, And without a word, Her hand slid into mine, A link of trust, In a chain just begun, And as time, And sunsets, Passed, My arm went Round her waist, And hers round mine, As hips bumped With each step, Until she Slipped her arm Through mine, And pressed Against me, Our own little Private Public Dance ----- Give me your body, dearest, Become a naked altar for Me to worship at, Let me bring you pleasure, Edging to the lips of ecstasy, With offerings of the flesh, And libations of the most Sensual and savory nectars, So that afterwards, Forever afterwards, We may lay entwined And sated until The next worshipping. ----- next word's about you and if not a word or phrase... then the next silence • Donovan Baldwin158

- 21st Century: The Age of Distractions
This is the 21st century, and there perhaps hasn’t been a better time in history. People live more peaceful lives and they live longer. There are so many good and bad things we can point out as the defining factor for this current generation, but none has been more impactful than technology. It has changed everything. It has changed the cars we drive, how we communicate, and even how we live our day to day lives. Imagine sitting in the sweltering heat without a fan or an air conditioner cooling you off, then maybe you would understand just how much technology has changed our world and ingrained itself into our lives. As someone who does remote work, I am grateful for it. The opportunities it has provided, is beyond anything I could have gotten in my current environment. But with all its benefits, there has been a lot of things that come with it, and the biggest of it has to be the distractions. As a writer, I had to understand the hard way, that the average person on the internet had an average attention span of 8 seconds and you have to plan content with that in mind. But as a consumer of content myself, I only just got to realize what that actually meant; our brains are constantly overstimulated. YouTube videos, YouTube shorts, Instagram reels, Snaps, games – the distractions are endless. Hours can fly by without you ever truly realizing how much time you’ve spent mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms. If it doesn’t grab your attention immediately, you swipe to the next thing because you know that there is something else waiting for you. The worst part is, you might even forget what you were watching the minute you drop your phone. I recently got to Level 8301 on Royal Match, one of my favorite games recently and when I reached the milestone, I was taken aback by just how much time I have dedicated to just that one thing. When I’m reading or working, I find my hand slowly reaching back for my phone fearing that I might have missed something in the 10 minutes that I’ve been offline. I’m immediately taken out of focus by calls or emails and find it hard to get back that level of attention. And a tiny part of me knows that I am not alone. I saw a fascinating quote somewhere that inspired this post (bear with me I don’t recall it perfectly) “The price of what you are doing now is something else that you SHOULD have done.” It resonated with me because while I was scrolling through social media and occasionally binge watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I was leaving assignments and work undone. I was risking a lot, all because I couldn’t bring myself to drop my phone. What’s the solution? Hell if I know! I’m just dealing with it like every other Gen Z out there. But I’ve learnt that a little bit of mindfulness could go a long way. Constantly reminding myself of the cost I’m paying, the hours wasting away, and the possibly impending floodgates of regret has helped me regain a bit of my focus and prioritize what pushes me towards the future I see and the life I want. Let’s talk. How do you deal with distractions these days? Did you ever have a moment when you realized that you needed to make a change?
