The Birthday Gift
I’ve an inexcusable habit,
forget my wife’s birthday.
This time I promise myself I won’t.
So, on that day from backyard
I pluck a blooming red rose,
keep it hidden till the dinner time
when I give her the single flower.
She doesn’t smile, for the story has begun.

A Birthday Gift
I'll wait
Because you mean so much
I'll wait
Because that's what a bestfriend does
I'll wait
Because that's what you want
I'll wait
Because you need me to
Sometimes I get frustrated
But then you lead the way
Like when the sunlight breaks through
On a cloudy day
A lifetime of patience
Just for you
A box with your name
A birthday gift
Open my gift
Awaiting inside
Is my infinite

Birthday Gift
You were one!
Then two!
And now you're three!
Bold and brilliant
Just like your mommy!
Another year of making us smile and laugh
We are cherishing the years as they pass
Since you, yourself are a gift
There is no need for another birthday wish!
Another year of my love you shall hold
Praying to God that you will live long and grow

A Birthday Gift To Me
A birthday gift to me
courtesy thee youngest sister of mine
The special parcel
courtesy Amazon courier
hurriedly delivered softbound book before
yours truly could thank him/her cuz he/she
dropped off outside our apartment door,
upon opening the well sealed package
my lower jaw dropped to the floor,
when I beheld the unpronounceable title
dealing with Holocaust
never knowing heretofore
a specific name
(of those faceless millions)
destroyed

Best Birthday Gift
The shiny box tempted her the most!
A turquoise ribbon just glowing!
It was from her best friend and the host.
Their true, long friendship showing.
Truly, no gift was needed.
She picked up her box with glee!
Their years together, appreciated and compassion, to the nth degree
The box was light , ribbon glowing like a peacock feather!
Opening it

First Tulips
First tulips in early morning light,
A cheering birthday sight.
Though I trod off to work today,
Their mellow glow guided my way.
Spring is such a hopeful season,
To celebrate no matter the reason.
Annual life reflection now a gentler chore,
Than end of year resolutions I abhor.
My playful pup Aengus gave a lesser gift,
Hiding my shoe this morn had me

Birthday Gift
Wishing you lots of birthday fun
And happiness till the day is done
I couldnt find a gift honestly
And since you really like poetries
Here i write to
Convey my wishes
Years passed laughing
Months went by hard working together
Nights elapsed in tattling
But I never realised that
You were the reason i was so busy and happy there

Peter a Birthday Gift
Peter (a birthday gift)
having not met in this reality
knowing him only by words
and the images captured
like still painted souls
in the magic box
I am free to dress him
in whatever thought
captures, as still life
in my bag of words.
scent of wind and heather
precedes the form as it coalesces
from the fog of imagery
rough coat of tweed

Birthday Gift From Baboon
Baboon was tasked by community
that he gives to orphans birthday gift
consisting of clusters of ripe bananas
Earnestly he received the gift package
halfway to orphanage of the little ones
he sat down among trees and ate all of it
Neatly he packed back peelings in basket
and moved smartly with shameful steps
with the saliva continuing to flow and flow
As he

Birthday Gift Causes Mirth
B-irthday gift causes mirth,
E-ither presents or wishes;
R-ight from the happy heart,
N-ice things bring brightness.
I-nside the box of gift, wrapped regards are ready;
E-njoy to open it slowly to read the words in glee.

E-licits joy from hands that

To Debbie T. - A Birthday Gift
Ten years ago I made you a promise to love you eternally. You see …
…It stands as good today as it did then; for it was by Divine Decree.
You see, the same God that blesses you, blesses me too; See?
And though His face I shall never see, I still

Birthday Gift
Through the plains,
And over the seas…
Blows your fragnance
Blended with lovely breeze…
Your childish nature,
Brings in you a cuddling feature…
More than the bunch of roses,
More than the rainbow pile,
Mesmerices me your enticing smile…
You are the spark in the dingy night,
Showed me the world with your gleamy light….
Bold at heart,
Wise in thought,
Ah! What else can I say??
You’re just
