My body is a universe
My freckles are the stars
The planet Venus is my lips
My teeth, they come from Mars
Mercury is in my brow
The furrow that you see
My thighs are Jupiter, you know
In the galaxy of me
Supernovas crackle
In the sparkle of my eye
Explored by the odd astronaut
Who may dare to try
My emotions are the Milky Way
My thoughts, the rings of Saturn
The chaos and the meteors
Make quite the pleasant pattern
Watch the shooting stars
Like the lightning of my mind
Make a wish! Quick!
Before I leave the world behind
Search for constellations
On the surface of my heart
Make meaning of the mysteries
Make shapes of broken parts
I trust you with the rings of Saturn of my mind
I know that when you look upon my world, you will be kind
Be safe on your voyage into my galaxies
I promise you'll be well-loved in the universe of me

I love this so much!!! I can feel space and time contracting and expanding and its wonderful! I also love the switch to the second person in the last stanza. My introducing a witness you make your "universe" feel more real.
