Lovesong of DMC
by Henry Burt Stevens
06/25/2000
wounded, so young, so pretty
harboured, with child
in my mother's house
both hiding from
the abusive one
pretty, whose first love
brought so much pain
that caused you to flee
secreted nearby
can flight be yours again
to love and live with me
raise up this lovely seed
whose father we both fear
with seeds of our own love
we pray will soon appear
hurt one, known only pain
from love
now turn to me
can i, a child of love gone wrong
raised fatherless be father
to another's child
along with my very own?
