Celebrating Your Birthday

Oh! how gems sparkle from glinted morning dew
Wooing your view, amber rays peeking through, 
Enamoring jubilation as missives of love I renew
On halo of golden sun inscribing ovations anew 
Blushing purple hues, scintillating skyline blue,
Venerating day precious~ my stellar gift for you.

Arrayed in crystal vase are red-roses you adore
Where silken petals gleam, evoking springs of yore,
In bouquet of our memories exulting evermore,
For you are the love-blossoms my passions implore
Titillating heart today, tomorrow, and forever;
Answering my prayer, you’re life’s holy endeavor.

Birds gently awakened you strumming your song
As cadence of my soul, extolling you sings along,
For endearing is the appeal buoyant on your zeal
Soothing me in your bliss, forlorn tears you heal,
My cheerful theme you are, deity of eternal glee,
You are my voice of poetry, exhilarating as can be.

Fabulously shines your smile on splendor of today
As dreams satiated replay waltzing rhythms of ballet
When lyrical praises of lifelong allegiances convey:
You are the guitar my heartbeats ceaselessly play, 
You are the harmonics, tunes of symphonies sway
In chorus of heart’s music celebrating your birthday.
