happy birthday (p.s. I love you)

By Guttercat

he who dreamt of scarlet fire
dreams of bruised lips
of a bride upon the altar
words unspoken

love

he who sat in silence
amongst the pews
tracing your name
upon the stars

upon his scars

burnt
onto his lips
like scars

& he wishes you well
like a heart
bursting
into a million flowers

for you
