Constellations of Us

I shall take the time,
Each second, a star
And shape each one
Then throw it far

Soon minutes shall form
Then hours, then days,
Quaint constellations
Amongst midnight haze

Each one, my dear
A part of me
My heart's creation;
our dynasty

I shall take the time
And make it our own
A future shaped from stars;
Heart-felt and Heart-grown.

There's a daisy out there
With perfect petals
The perfect number
To land just right
If I had happened to find this flower
All of her petals would have fallen tonight,
Yes, All of her petals,
In order,
Tonight.

Tummyache

I had
5 packets of quavers
And 1 packet of wotsits
Just before bed.

Then i woke
Wondering, strangely, why
My tummy ached.

Silly Bekah.

Find Me

One day, it may be
That I find myself beneath a tree,
And as raindrops tumble,
And my tummy rumbles.
There you might find me.

One day, it may go
That i find myself knee deep in snow,
My scarf wrapped twice,
Taking notes about ice,
There you might find me.

One day, it may seem
That i find myself cradling my tea,
Hands clasped tight,
Dreams taking flight,
There you might find me.

One day, it may be true,
That suddenly, amongst your wonderful blue
In me something stirs,
But I shan't speak a word,
That day, I may just find you.

Song of Erasmus Darwin

Whilst the flowers sleep
They are breathing
Little hearts
Rooted in the Earth

Their petal limbs
Open wide
An embrace toward
Maternal love

They know, the plants
Their slience is wise
Their muscles don't ache
Their hearts open wide.

They wake, they breathe
They flex, they lean
They give, they recieve,
They sleep, they dream.

A secretion of the earth
Life-form organic
I, Erasmus
Believe in this planet.

Let's Stay - Cary Briel

The water ripples,
your face smiles
back, as we
do the dishes.
I love your laugh
and giggle,
Close out the
world and
let's stay.

Sleeping late,
you turn
to face me--
and I see you,
then I
feel your weight.
Close out the
world and
let's stay.
