Happy birthday, Anagha! Wishing you a year filled with poems waiting to be written and moments that feel fully, wonderfully yours!! The imagery of midnight as ‘dark foil’ and the hyphen of the lowlands is so striking—you captured the soul of a birthday!
“Somewhere, this poem always was.Somewhere, in the secret air, beyond where our desires and illusions collide. All I do is write it down, as I turn through the years. And then I call it: mine.”
Happy Birthday, Anagha, and thank you for sharing your words with us during this past year. I look forward to reading even more when the new year arrives.
Happy birthday, Anagha! And thank you for the gift you give all of us through your poems. I love the rhythm of your words and sentences. This one feels like a song of celebration, well deserved.

Aw this is too kind Mohika! I'm really touched. Thanks for reading, and I'm so happy you enjoyed those bits of imagery.
Happy being born day
Thank you Tamsin! <3
Happy belated birthday, Anagha. You’ll always be a week younger than me!:))
I always will be! I find that thought comforting for some reason. Cheers to 27 for both of us :)
Happy birthday, Anagha. I hope it was joyful!
It really was! Thank you, Thomas :)
Goosebumps! This is stunning. And happy birthday!
Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm really flattered
These last lines are so sweet and true:

Thank you Bailey! I think those are my favourite lines in this piece, so I'm really glad they rang true to you.

Likewise Paul! And thank you :)
Lovely. What can we truly label as our own, ever? I wonder. And I think maybe that's a good thing, but the melancholy can feel overwhelming sometimes.
I completely understand! These dualities haunt me. Thanks for reading, Martin.
Love it! Happy Birthday (love your writing.....)
Thank you! For the birthday wishes, and for reading.
