Happy Birthday My Wife

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

Happy birthday my wife.

Everything that needed to be said 

Have been said, 

Nothing more to add.

Happy birthday my wife.

Happy birthday

His wife...

Love's language looks

beyond a couple's

greying crowns 

and the bones that have seen

endless romance 

The entangled heart

unceasingly thumps

the ballad of ages

that traces the grace

in the wrinkled face

and twirls the rigid waist 

to the sound of music.

When my wife 

celebrates her birthday

everything that had been said

will be adorned with new meanings,

and old words will receive 

wings and sneak a new path

into the aweful heart

of the one I keep loving.
