Happy Birthday !

|| spring monsoon clouds ||

on the space of

your heart

my breath
writes spring

as winds write spring

on the earth

love is born

of the soul-womb

in the eyes of

lips wait dreams

memorable as the first kiss

the blade of grass

pushes the mountain of

darkness beyond the sky

in the darkness of silence

i dissolve the sooty

smoke of sadness and boredom

with the ink of your love

i write on the winds

songs

that reach the ocean

and raise a storm

that reach you

and the life-laden

spring-monsoon

clouds rush in.
