Birthday Billowing

You talked to me by the mossy steps,
we were sitting on the stairs, laughing
.......softly at ourselves, then silencing.
I am tongue- tied, I say to you
and you smiled in loving response,
while we huddled up in our secret garden.

You closed your gentle eyes as I recited warmly:

..................No words can shout

....................... No words realy can
............................explain, in detail and
..............................color, my fraught deepening for
....................................you.
....................Like you'd care anyway...

.................I love you.
.................Happy Birthday.
.................I know you'll get it all
..............................the best.
................I'll even give the best
............ of your wanting, frame or such...
