Poem: Hide Me
By Donovan Baldwin
Hide me in your heart, dear,
From those two cruel, and,
Endlessly encroaching beasts,
The brothers, age and time.
Protect me in your warm arms,
Hold me tightly to your breast,
So, when time comes and I leave,
Some part of me may stay with you.
Lock my memory deep within,
Some secret place which only,
May be visited by you, and,
A god who loves lost poets.
Sing my songs, sweet Mayari,
Charming goddess of the Moon,
And write my name forever,
With silver lines upon the sea.
O, you Wondrous one,
Who came into my life so late,
Know you turned back time,
With your gift of youth to age.
