on your birthday

My love,
Happy Birthday,
How could i forget your birthday?
When i vowed and sweared
Of love that i bear
In this heart
That is bruised and hurt.

I never forgot it,
I could not.
For it is to me
A day when you feel elated.

I remember it.
I never forgot it.
Only i didn't share it.

I remember it,
Not only it,
But a lot of things
Reminding me of you.

Your words,
Your way
Your essence,
Your feel
Taste of your kiss
Touch of your lips
I remember it,
A lot of memories flashing

I remember everything
That you said
I listened
And the contrary moments too.

My love,
My sweetheart
Queen of hearts

I have not forgotten your birthday
Perplexed and muddled i was
For two nights
Finding ways
To greet you
Your birthday.

But do i do it as a ritual?
Or a custom?
Where it is a date to remember
But that has lost its relevance?

Or shall i greet you my love
Being with you
Taking away all your tears
And sorrows
Of tomorrows
And pains
Of yesterdays.

Sweeping you off your feet
Swinging you in my arms
Make you sleep in my lap
Caress your hair
Sing Lullabies to you
Make you feel at home
Shooing off the worries of the day; and
Make your day a happy birthday

The warmth is caged in your heart
Trapped in fear
But you have had it kindled
Never let it die.

My love
I never forgot your birthday
For the best greeting to you
And the best gift
Is my love for you.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart.
