Immortalising You On Your Birthday Poem by Obiaeli Ifediirichukwu Victor

Foetus were you till the successful break, out of the walls of dark and blood
This day 11th September went auspicious when you were given to ten fingers
Though I'd never existed then but fate brought my existence your path till today
Today I remember how we met, our caught up glances turning smiley gaze
The quiet drizzle of the evening shower beating your birth story down your spine
Down your spine it dropped but up again to your axis it rises on a day...today
On a day as this your tender beautiful face sat on the atlas, rotating on the axis in tears...a birth your mum called it.

And yesterday a lovely beauty paragon I held in a close hug
Passionate kisses not absent in our locked gaze of the nights
Like rain amidst cold breeze dropped the dark of eyes on us
But on this day, that's yours alone, my love for you I'll make known
For you, a natural wonderment of Everyman's adventure I will pull the moon down from its cosmic lap
Not a revamp to futility but fertility, in age, beauty, wit and love you will grow
On this day Mmeso, your lust wish be in love with God your creator who moulded you in perfection
Wish a star, the rainbow, and the sun; the rivers and far lands of the Easts but know this...the candle light of your cake will I blow off with you tonight and a reverberating whisper in the dark wishing you...a happy birthday
