Birthday

"Birthday" Elusive in memory is time’s moment. Re-minds me of the American Dream The sweetness of taste Is momentum to continue Young reveal the seconds Old use a depth-gage Fortunate need reminders Loners are lying, to enjoy the bitter. Moments mine, usually have a partner. Always opposite of gender Joy a reaction to a cleaver action Scenery the sputal Canvas Weather the influenced comfort Sight, data processed As art plays a soundtrack Coffee shop laughter Mixes the rich, with dark flavor Two center seated Alone with ghosts When I realized love In a memory to come. (inspired by the “Kings of Leon” song)

This seems very deep to me. I don't know this song, but the writing of this birthday poem is quite mature.
