"snugglebug" poems
This is for all the men
Who tell me I am beautiful
I can't hear you
Through all those years
Of being an ugly duckling
This is for my dog
Big blue eyes
My baby snugglebug
Sniffing for donuts
Chewing my hands in the morning
And the nail biters
And the chefs
Who lose fingers to the meatgrinders
And the farmers
Staking lives
On a drop of rain
I am vain
This is for the men
Who have faith
I am not the ****** Mary
Just another pretty face
Another lacy thong to take off
This is for the underwear makers
The firecrackers
This is for the characters
Who explode in the night sky
Like the fourth of July
And ordinary people
Are blinded by the colors
This is for the mothers
And the big brothers
And the Prozac poppers
This is for the bees that have stung me
I've eaten their honey
And my cakes would not taste
So sweet without it
This is for the surgeons
And musicians
And fishermen
For the men who have bought me dinner
And never seen a return
On their investment
This is for the beards
And chest hair
This is for my little sister
Who is finally growing up
The word "love" on her tongue
And this is for America:
Land of the free
Home of the mancave
Beauty is only as deep
As your mineral rights
The copper and coal mines of your eyes
Beauty flies as high as kite
Melts away like cotton candy
After a baseball game
This is for the men who called me beautiful
For all the beauty in the world
All the beautiful
This is for you

i'd like to sing you a song
a beautiful melody to right all your wrongs
just like when we were young
sweet songs & laughter we haven't felt in so long
i want you to remember
just to make your heart melt
let our souls intertwine,
breathe deep--common feelings we have felt
locked in your embrace.. i want a taste.
i want a taste!
please let me sing you a song
a wonderful harmony to fix what i have done
tell me we'll be alright
i want you to tell me that we'll be just fine
i know it's hard to forgive me for all the pain i've caused
but i was just reminiscing & thought you'd like to come along..
my emptiness replaced--
you filled the space.
you filled the space!
if i could sing you this song
i'd sing it to you all night long
my little snugglebug..
you'll always have my undying love.
