your face is the cure your kisses the elixir your embrace healing ----- no need for blindfold or for velvet restraints eyes wide open she smiles ----- i will not speak first my soul has borne too many wounds from entrusting my heart ----- desiring what can't be too old for physical love writing memories ----- came here a stranger bringing love for everyone in this new land i found ----- let us not draw lines let us not separate ourselves let us not be strangers ----- waiting a lifetime for love that never appeared except in my dreams ----- digging in her bed tending her beautiful bloom watering petals • Donovan Baldwin

alone in my room only alive in my words living old memories ----- plodding through life on a path from birth to death recording the journey ----- never have belonged poet lost in the real world seeking fantasies ----- happy poet she yesterday's stranger well met understanding love ----- not what body does but what hearts and minds would do that really matters ----- tending her rosebuds kissing dew upon their tips tasting firm berries ----- visions seen and heard the lady behind the veil whispering her secrets ----- i worship mortal goddess below olympus genuine woman ----- like bee at flower she comes and sips my honey hearts as evidence • Donovan Baldwin

Little pieces of paper Scraps of this and that, The inside pages of books, Napkins and even, yes, No commentary please, Twice on toilet paper... I have written and Will write into the Computer ages where Words, which begin As impulses, Continue to exist, As impulses, Unfolded but, As easily lost. • Donovan Baldwin

Just of casual interest. I was just reading a portion of a book from about 1900. NOT a fitness book, but, an essay written by a physician of the day. Forget the surrounding verbiage.... "ask yourself - Am I able to walk ten miles with ease?" Got that? A physician of the day assumed an ordinary person would be able to walk 10 miles "with ease"! Today we forget that, before the automobile, people DID walk everywhere, unless they had a horse or cart, and EVERYTHING, or nearly everything, was done by hand. I pride myself at age 79 of being able to walk 3 miles. I know that I have, in my younger days, run 6 miles, and have done forced road marches in the army, but, walk 10 miles with ease... simply because that's how you get around? Nope. Got it pretty easy, Coach... er... Drill Sergeant... Donovan Baldwin

lost poet wanders in search of runaway dreams unkept promises • Donovan Baldwin

we play hide and seek she dares me to seek her out with my searching words Donovan Baldwin

some poets can see fantasy and reality love the truth of each ----- cries out with joy at lashing lines of poetry on body and mind ----- pulsations of verse fill her cup with poetry she sips them slowly ----- the storm came on her washed away what some call sin with love's cleansing rain ----- hides herself away daring me to seek her out with my searching words ----- don't say seduction i cannot make you love me unless meant to be • Donovan Baldwin
