Birthday Poem

(I wrote it with the help of wine. A better one to follow. Swears.)

At last you have
somehow through the trouble
reached your double digits
Oh baby my baby
They couldn't take you down
And maybe I am watching
from afar
Your now-doubled hands rocking
and rolling in the wind
Oh baby my baby
Every minute I'm away
is an eternity
for a million isotopic
aerodynamic bubbles
from my heart
to burst
Come home to my beaches
sand and sandfleas
Be my first taste
of home
on cold asphalt with
computers and stolen wi-fi
Hold my hands in
uncomfortable dinner parties
and feed me
your heart
Oh baby my baby
its the day of your birth
Let me pen to you this truth
stepped in wine
Oh baby my baby
Be my love
let me keep you

I know it's not, but I am going to pretend this is for me. It's just that beautiful in my world it's not his gift but mine. Thank you.
