happy birthday....

--HAPPY BIRTHDAY--

I'm not sure you want me

to give you a poem like this

for your birthday --

a poem which says I need

to bury myself in the center of your heart

and swim there like a mermaid.

I pretend to do ordinary things like

birthday cards

but all the cells in my body are

in revolt because

you're not here with me

even when I open the dishwasher

or the blind

my body is aching because I'm not bending for you

and my skin shouts angrily to the angels

because your hands are not touching me

I am completely crazy

crazy for you

and because it's your birthday

I try to fold my love

in half to go in an envelope

like an ordinary 'love from'

but I may as well fold the sky

which for me

is held aloft only by your kisses.

hmm... can imagine i wrote this ? haha... i also can't believe that... happy birthday ya.. u know who u are... hugss.. muakss...
