He gave me my very own set of stars
To plaster to paint my universe
In a box filled with birthday wishes
A wonderous surprise
Of which I am not nearly worthy
He stretches his hand
Across many miles
Magically blowing bubbles
On a breeze
Finding my doorstop, my open window
My endless disbelief
in his kaleidoscope kindness
I shall take time to pick a perfect time
To sip his wine...
Maybe I shall wait to uncork it
Upon an occasion we might one day share
Me, here...him, there
Such a gentle sweet offering
To a maiden, from a knight....
I love alliteration! And the title alliteration was nicely placed in an inconspicuous place until we read it and then it lights up! This is a poem of light - in the gifts, in the gratitude expressed, in the confidence that this goodness will go on... The troubadours called this kind of relationship L'Amour de loin or Faraway Love. They considered it the highest form of love because it was kept alive purely by poetry carrying feelings back and forth. Your poem keeps L'Amour de loin alive.
Fair Lady, I am honored beyond words... a delightfully lovely poem from a delightfully lovely maiden... and my friend.
just so lovely....great similitude.... a far off romance and the associated longing and desire and the recognition of physical dimension.... good flow and charming v nice liked

I would like to translate this poem
This poem is so appreciative of the kindness and thoughtfulness of the friend who sent you birthday wishes! It takes quite a heart to appreciate ones feelings of love in this way. Very poetic expressions indeed! I love the title too, but the last word is short of one s in 'kindness'.
