Our birthday holds a special place not only in our life, but also of those who love us, say our partner, parents, siblings and friends. The poem 'Happy Birthday My Love', by Nicholas Gordon, portrays the poet's love to his partner. He sees her as part of his self, e.g. mirror of his art. He compares her with a sea, a sea of happiness and sooth. The poet has used excellent simile and metaphor in this poem and it serves as the epitome of his hyper imagination. You can use this poem to convey your wishes to your beloved, on his/her birthday.
Happy Birthday My Love
Happy birthday to my love!
Happy birthday to my love!
A sea around my heart:
Part shelter, part enduring word,
Part mirror of my art
You are the calm that drains my rage,
Bliss upon my shores,
Immensity immutable,
Rush that life restores.
To you I wish to be a welcome
Harbor for your ocean,
Destiny and origin,
Aim of your affection,
Yearning of your motion!
