Ila

I speak to you with words of Forever, and Always; call to you, using splashes and dashes of light, pulsing beyond any common obscurity...but there is no code to my caring – beaming slip-less slides, and raging currents of timeless affection; I am the contrary boy boring holes in dikes – though we live at a sea, often confused and seemingly slammed by encroaching depths, but, yet, I remain buoyant – my sole focus on you – you, my only meaningful surface...you, my sextant and compass. My three quarter earth. All land. My sky. My Forever and Always. Happy Birthday!

Thank you, Pangie; I will. We are going to have a quiet birthday together. Seeing how I like to cook, I will make her her favorite eggplant dish and a pizza. Joe.

Is it your birthday? A vivid poem. You seem to be a great sailor.

Thank you, Victor; my wife, Ila, has a birthday next week. Instead of diamonds I give her a poem. At our age, jewelry has little value. I am no sailor, but, perhaps it is in my blood. Back in Sicily, all my ancestors were fishermen and sponge divers in the Mediterranean. Thank you, my friend. Have a beautiful day. Blessings!
