to warm your soul for your birthday
i looked at silks and fantasized
unimaginable beauty in backlit beach house doorways
seeing you again, i think about the fall of your hair
the softness of nights, dreams by your side
i tried to imagine a gift to capture your heart
to break all boundaries, to communicate this feeling
there was a sadness as i felt the shiny slip
looked at the seductive lips pictures
i disconnected spirit from sensual
and forgot for a moment where i was
in this dream of my creation
you are growing to mean too much
here just inside this coat this aching will continue
through birthdays and holidays of longing
things will be broken and breaking, sparks beyond belief
and connections disconnecting, and longing for home
