Forget-Me-Not Poem by Paul G. Kallen

Mahler: 5th Symphony. Adagietto

To Fairy Guruschka

"Do not forget me, do not forget me",
I heard the words over the phone.
You said it gently to your devotee,
I'm not my own.

The tune is tender, I'm shedding tears,
And thoughts of you are overflowing my mind…
You are so far away, but it appears
That you are here, our arms entwined.

I love you dearly, my sweet poetic Muse,
You are exceptional and unforgettable forever!
You are the gem I never lose,
To stay your poet is my endeavor.
