for you by b.l. ronan Happy Birthday Amanda

20121127-213055.jpg

curled up on the cushions
afghan
tea
and frosty windowpane

the leather bounded parchment
exudes
an aroma
that beckons out your name

breathing in the magic
of words
ink
and prose

it’s hard to believe
such simple wonder
awaits just beneath
your nose

arbor
laden forests
diamonds
in the sand

pirates
queens
adventures
are yours to dream and command

will you sail
across the ocean
drink tea
with elizabeth or marie

dance in the moonlight
burn in the sun
make a wish or two
or three

words
are wishes on paper
of the heart’s
most fervent dream

but reality
is much grander than fantasy
and i hope
this day will bring

the fruition
or your story
the one you’ve longed
to lead

happiest days,
sweet manda
may it bring everything your heart
truly needs
