I would take… poem by Eve

I would take-

the everlasting life power from a phoenix to live forever,

the remaining core of pluto as a gift from God 

and a well, full of forgotten wishes that screamed for help.

 

I would take the sound of

water from a mountain and store it in a bottle until I need it,

the sound of rain bouncing off of a school roof 

and the waves of the ocean crashing against the rocks of the shore.

 

I would take the smell of 

a cocoa coloured candle that called me,

fields of fresh mown grass on a summers morning 

and freshly picked flowers from a shop.

 

I would take the taste of

bubble-gum candy floss as fluffy as clouds,

freshly poured iced-coffee swirling around in a cup 

and the crunch of a rice-crispy treat with a gooey filling.

 

I would take-

a tunnel to disappear into thin air and travel to an unknown land,

a ladder to climb to the top of the Angel of the North 

and the siren of a police car calling for attention.
