Birthday Cake
Despite the moody sky,
eight minutes past middle of the night,
the stars have graced up high,
a celebration of twenty and two years of my life.
And you a stranger, but a jive
by destiny to my quiet life
have filled the noise with my mind
with sonnets and proses
of love and music and life.
How can you look at me
and strip me down to bare?
Some things that others can’t see,
some scars and treasures I cannot share.
Are you just a phantom,
an apparition of my desire?
Or will you stay with me forever
to blow each candles every single time.
