Happy Birthday.

Quaint half truths

honey sweet

and

divided dimly

with belated sealace smiles

and

acute breaths

through a paper rose

consumed

by quivers

my body frail

as dreams

from

your furtive doting fingers

every outflaring kiss

struck to white

fading

into the superior almost

of sleep

my arms wrapped

around your every curve

pulling you closer

to every single etcetera.
