"snuggles" poems
They slither around cob webs and hide in the crook of my elbow attached to me like a child clinging to his mother on the first day of Pre-K hideous and scowling but then beautiful and glowing either way I keep it pressed to my chest i breathe in the putrid smell but I am now used to the scent it purrs and snuggles closer and I don't pull away

the demons of a bipolar mind
vacation was little hands holding onto mine, hazel eyes looking up at me. mouth pulled into a toothy grin, a two year old giggle. saying “i love you” and dreading “goodbye”vacation was hearing “aunty pizza!” all week long it was snuggles and playtime. it was a silent house without you. vacation was melting crayons and staying up late. vacation was my week with Lacey and I wish I had it back.

vacation
Another morning in the life Of a P.T.D, I slurped my Juice back all  400 ml, then Stretched up, fingers Wiggling as mother picked Me up. Snuggles in the morning Nothing better, to show I'm Loved. But back to business, As I turned my dummy to The opposite side, the taste Is better every time its turned Soothing with each **** It was nearly breakfast time A belly is never wrong, MMmmm... Toast and jam, I smile At mummy with my Cheshire Jam smiled face. "Silly little man" As she wipes the smudges From all over my face. A case to solve, was my plan, The missing statue of SANDMAN BOB tm. It was here before, but now Gone, the prized possession Of hairy dog, as I pat his head And he licks my face Yuckkkk.... Doggy that was yuck, he wags His tail and then he is off. What a morning so much done, Time for a nap then detective Work to be done. I wake to Dads voice, "Morning little man" "How was your nap" As i give my answer with a Yawn and a smile, he gives A cuddle then off to work for Hours of fun and playing games. The clues to be seen the trail To be found, for I'm ***** Trained Detective"* And no case is to far, as Long as I can have a nap And a cuddle, maybe a Little sip and a gulp, here On look out of what is to Be found. Hairy dog is sleeping in his bed, I hear a noise I hear a Sound?? What a strange noise, "Snoring" "NO" "Bottom belches" "No funny smells" As I lift up his blanky Softly so not to wake doggy's sleep, And their he is safe and sound. "SANDMAN BOB" "Playing hide and go seek" Under hairy dogs nose and bottom, As he sleeps it does squeak, it Does beep, I lift it up and under His paw, to surprise him when He awakens. A tail shall wiggle And flop around, but the case was Solved and a happy smile found. ***** Trained Detective* does it Again, but for now it is nap time, A new case, a new thing to be Found. I will see you all again Soon, But now its snuggles Time with mummy in bed. As I close my eyes night, night I turn my dummy once more, As sheep float quietly over my head.

Remember when We took a daycation? Waterfalls For days. Milk bottle Sepia vinyl. Ice cream and Truck drivers. Ballerina buns and Bare necks. Waterfalls For days. Oblivion, the Falling leaves. Backseat Views. Gravel paths, we Walked. Waterfalls For days. Blue, blue Skies. Crystal Springs. Damp red Leaves. Waterfalls For days. Apples Were just in season. Photos Wagging tails. Honey tea Quilted snuggles. Waterfalls For days. Maybe it was Just a dream. Next thing I knew. I was throwing A textbook at the wall. Waterfalls For days. I was Okay. I swear, for One day. I was Myself again. Waterfalls For days. Remember when We took a daycation?

Daycation
"Your shapely, bootylicious thighs, carved columns of lubricious butter, shouldn't be left without gently caressed, til covered all over with ruddy marks of desire, just strawberry goosebumps for ignorant  others" When she snuggles closer to him, from the seat next, as the train rocks and they rub,when gathering speed, she sporting a marvelous mini dress engrossing his libido, he whispers to her, who was all ears, "But my real object of focus is the truth, that lurks where your thighs meet"

Exploring her truth(Erotic)
Just how does warm weather conjure the inebriated & lovers, on to Londons’ Tube? Are sweaty nights an aphrodisiac tune, to an alcoholic groove? Wavering tight stepped shuffles, paired with googly-eyed, hand-clasped, lip-locked, snuggles. Inward thought toothpicking the corners of mouths, as cheerful eyes spy the Underground antics of the South. That off the shoulder dress, stranger clothes, newer shoes; a fashionista bazar, A fleeting memory is Winters’ white metaled fire. Hapless in this weather what else to do but smile? Is it not so much easier than to revile? Warm weather has a mission… dismiss disgust. Go on London smile. It’s a must. © Qwey.ku

I love... The way she smiles at the ground, Whenever shes embarrassed. The way that she makes funny faces, When I take pictures. The way she laughs at my stupid jokes. How she says "I love you.", And means it. How she trusts me with the most important things in her life. How she let me kiss away her tears. How she turned to me, When she needed someone to be there for her. How she lets me kiss her cuts, To make them better. The way she holds my hand, And leads me down the hall, And marches on gaily, Ignoring the comments people make. The way she snuggles into me when we dance. The way shes not afraid to be honest to herself, And be who, And what she wants to be, Not what society wants her to be. The way she loves me. Her.

I Love...
She’s got daisies in her hair Collected on a hike With a bubbling brook laugh We circled the bay on bike Her blinding essence We fit like a glove Dive in the pool And also a love She’s got apple cider lips And cinnamon filled eyes Leaves drift off the trees We promise no goodbyes Her coat warm and ready For the next blanket of snow Carols in the square Sleepy snuggles by the fireplace aglow

A Year’s Worth of Her
Laying in the land of lies. Kissing broken butterflies Knows what she wants. A tigress on the prowl. Howling and squawking. Howling and scowling. Pawing, cat calling. Pussycat growling. Love laid roses on the path. Tangled thorns and demon horns. Thought she'd have a laugh. Love she chooses lonely pawns. Howling and squawking, Howling and scowling Pawing,cat calling. Pussycat growling. She snatches sweethearts. Creating works of art. Living on cupcakes. Cementing works of art. Breaking hearts and crushing bones. Howling and squawking. Howling and scowling. Pawing, cat calling. Pussycat growling. Fingertips tips as razor blades. Razor blades are on the **** Love dies screaming silently. At wicked women's will. Said goodbye. Howling and squawking No more talking. Pussycat cat cuddles. Snuggles and kittens. (C) LIVVI

PUSSYCAT
A cuddle, a snuggle, Two bodies, each touching - resting, Each person, still - feeling the thrill, Two bodies, frozen in stone. She kissed him - she drifted, He touched her - he fell silent, His eyes, red with passion, He kissed her, she was gone... She sighed a quiver of breath, She fell onto the ground, tears, He appeared, he made no fear, She was free, she was his...

Snuggles.
I cuddled upon it since birth, It was the friend that kept me Calm, Peaceful, Friend Of my sleepy times, always there, But I awoke and Blanky wasn't there "MUMMY" "DADDY" As both ran in, "What is it our little one" Tears streaming, words jumbled in emotions Mummy stroked my hair Daddy Sshhh.... Sshhh... Sshhh... Sshhh... And all was calm in the world, B, B, "Blanky" Has gone away, Mummy soft spoken voice speaks "Lets check your bed" No not there? ***** trained detective looks around"** Sniffs the air, Sorry mummy that was me, Mmm... to the playroom High,  Low Here,  there Places searched but no where found, His thoughts of blanky and sweet sleep, As he searches each room, doggy sniffs Come on Hairy, He checks his bed nothing but hair, His baby mind thinks back to the other day Blanky and me, Me and Blanky, To the garden Woof, little fingers can not reach Woofs hind legs stretch up, "Good boy Woof" As the door opens to The great outside, Near the sandpit "No" Near the grass "Neither" Then he spots it Then its seen, "Blanky I have missed you" Hanging just out of reach, "Detective work is never as easy as it seems" A baby has skills, as he takes his ***** Sticky patches take hold and on top Of a head, smelling fresh, Not that just thumb ****** sleepy smell But we can change that, Blanky wrapped around ***** dragging  behind, a  new one needed I think, "Mummy" "Daddy" "Its solved" The missing blanky case is solved It was washed, ***** it was once, But so soft and cuddly once more, It needs that just slept smell, A detective is off to get snuggles sleep Till the next case awaits, till I awaken Its sheep time for me, goodnight or day everyone sweet dreams.

He loves many things, Robbaz and skyrim, KSP and Dark Souls, Special K Red Berry with strawberry milk. Double cheeseburgers with bacon, Burning things to watch the fire, Doing well and getting A's, Movies that are vaguely 80's ish. South Park, snuggles, and *** And maybe.

Weekend beckons as work crazy week ends Winter fire, relaxed dinner, wine warm glow Couch cosy snuggle, TV moving wallpaper Later virtual dog and neighbour walk to pub Bar wisdom sets the world to rights again Depression, recession is one drink less Striding home in no worries happy haze Warm bed snuggles with my best girl Week ends wonderfully again.

Eyes that flash the soul of civilization And warm the heart in observation. Love that whispers with a gentle touch And surrounds with hugs that seem so much. Cry Beloved! Water that caresses with a thousand tongues Sunshine that coos all the birds’ songs Teachers and vets, pronouns and clowns Croissants, marmalade, coffee and new lawns. Cry Beloved! Breezes and sneezes, walks by the shore Seashells that capture all the sea’s roar Powdery sand and laconic lagoons Daydreams and naps in the afternoons Cry Beloved! Smiles, museums, carriages in the park Salads with friends and chocolates too dark Rowing among lily pads and turtles and frogs Hiking and crossing the streams on new logs. Cry Beloved! Flowers and bees buzzing in the sun Hummingbirds hovering, dogs on the run Children running, giggles and wiggles Caring, learning, reading and snuggles Cry Beloved! Snowy mountains, valleys green Faith proclaimed, faith unseen Wonder and ponder, awe and reverence Invitations from God to join in the dance Cry beloved! Hands held together in prayer and in love Eyes raised to heaven on the wings of a dove Caring so deep, affection so real Feel the love and start to heal Cry My Beloved!

CRY BELOVED
Drugs, yes... I’ve tried them. Hell, I’ve almost done them all. Been up and down and round and round like a kid playing on an old playground. Drugs take you places you don’t ask to go, they teach you lessons that will force you to grow. Drugs are hard teachers, and not many pass the test. However if you do, you’ll stand out above the rest. You’ll have mental fortitude and blessings for the rest. Continue pursuing greatness and be humble till death. But Drugs let me tell you... I’ve had the best. Socially accepted but probably the worst, forced love and alcohol truly hit me where it hurts. There was a hole in my heart and **** I tried to fill it... with anything I could grab or people to fit in it. I used them and abused them like drugs... because they were. There are many things I regret, but I cannot reject, for these are the things that helped me project. I had to do wrong so that I could learn from it. I’m only human with fire like a comet. These days I prefer the best drug of them all... cartoons and snuggles, my son fills that hole. Being his father takes higher than I could ever desire. Now I see of what I’m required. To teach love instead anger, yet prepare him for danger. Pass that fire to all that desire to learn and grow from the lessons perspired. The future has been written, and to understand what’s coming, you must look behind it. The past repeats itself, unless you can change it. For the wisdom you seek you already hold, dig deep inside and look into your soul. That is where you’ll find your glitter and gold, it hides itself in talents untold. We all have them, and they’re all different... they’ll take you places you couldn’t imagine.

Cloudy skies Heavy downpour Cold breeze Swaying trees Misty window panes Traffic lights Hooting cars Gushing gutters Drenched trench coats Soggy feet Colourful umbrellas Crowded shelters Empty side walks The city skips a few hearbeats And comes to a stand still Soon as the pounding rain stops Everything returns to normalcy But rainy days call for Steaming cups Slouchy sweaters Fluffy blankets Snuggles Cuddles Novels Notebooks Gramophone tunes in the background Enjoying a little piece of heaven While the day is washed off Setting stage for a clean fresh start ©Sonia Ettyang

Even in the train it is cold. Netanya snuggles closer to me, her eyes searching me, her hand clutching mine. Had a job getting out, she says. Does he know where you are going? No, I just said I was going out. Was he suspicious. Who cares? She breathes out, her breath like smoke; it fills our area of the carriage. Why Brighton? I like it there; it reminds me of my childhood. She lays her head on my shoulder, her hand holding mine; warmth moving through mine. Outside it is dark; evening sky menacing. How are things? We rowed, we always row. I look at her hair on my shoulder, dark, wavy. Won't going out for so long make things worse? I hope so; I hope he moves out, hope he moves away. What about the kids? They'll understand, kids do; they like you. I look out at the passing view, lights in the distance from passing villages or towns, trees swimming past. We arrive at Brighton rail station, get out the train and walk into the town hand in hand. We must come here and stay the weekend. When? When we can. I look at her beside me. She's serious. What would he say? He'll say nothing. He thinks it's just a mid-life crisis and I’ll get over it. We walk down to the seafront; the wind and cold biting at us. The sea's rough. I like it rough, I like to sense nature's power, she says, snuggling close to me. We go into a shelter and sit down in the semi-dark. We kiss and embrace. No one is about. It seems far from my usual world, kind of surreal. Her lips are on mine. Feel her pulse. Her living through me and I through her; I feel along her back, feeling the smooth coat she is wearing; my fingers sensing and imaging what ever is beneath. We sit there for what seems hours, kissing, holding, looking out at the rough sea. Was I being someone else or was I just being me?

Just a cool orange drink, Sparkling, the clink of ice A long straw bobbing with bubbles and you have found paradise. Sitting on a sandy beach, Blue sky, no cloud, just nice. Listening to the children play and you have found paradise. In walks a man, wife at doorstep Drunk, he knows he is in paradise. She yells, he thinks, she cries, he laughs. smack she smiles, he cries. He is out cold, she is warm in bed. He snuggles the doormat, blimey he thinks. The wife ought to have a shave and she absolutely stinks! The cat joins him on the doormat Licking his bruised face, mmm nice. A pair of slippers also joins them But he is till in his drunken paradise. A bucket of cold water joins them too A stark wake up call hit his face. "Ouch! where am I? who are you?" "Get me out of this cruel place!" "You are home fool. Get to bed" His face yells, crinkling at the brow. Secretly she is enjoying all of this, what have I done to upset her now? Once again he finds paradise in the form of crisp white sheets and dreams. Alcohol is playing with all his mishaps And his paradise is not now what is seems.

The Flame
you might get a chill in bed if you leave the windows open in cold nights and push away the quilt or blanket all through sleep; you can get comfort and peace for a while at least digging into bed and covering yourself in like an ostrich with its head in the sand; you can get sick in bed or you get, over time, a bad back in a bad bed; or you get *** in bed and or get lots of love; you get coffee in bed, or breakfast; but you can also get thrown out of bed; or if you’re convincing enough you can pretend to be sick and they’ll even bring dinner to you in bed; and you can have dreams and nightmares and so travel even while in bed and live every unknown layer in your mind; you could, let’s face it, die in bed; or if still alive you can get wet dreams and so get wet; you can get sweet words whispered or words uttered that split the bed; you can spend time in bed you can make plans in bed and create empires or just build castles in bed though there’s no sand or rocks about; and you can dream in bed and work out your inhibitions and delusions; you can get ideas in bed inspiration for a poem or the next great novel; you can get hugs and kisses snuggles and pillow talk; and pillow fights and sleepovers; or perhaps, if you’re just born, the comfort of lullabies

in bed
Nine is still hugging-new-kitten time filled with loud giggles, school-loving fun days, a pig-tailing best time for friend-making. Nine likes browsing through pages of favourite tales curled up warm as toast, shawl clad or napping on Dad's welcome lap. An eye-on-best-chance-time is nine for young girlish schemers, secretive play-time, torchlight snacks with sleep-over pals. Grown from doll-cuddling but baby crazy lipstick-red nine acts the high-heeled lady then raids Mum's bed for cosy snuggles Life swiftly draining under-ten days brings teenager-cool ways but not for a while, beauty at nine has an innocent charm. When that nine-candled cake makes its sugary entrance I wish, as she bends closer to blow months more maiden delight. But just a reminder dear daughter being nine still means early nights, clean teeth, earned treats and a tidier room please. (Written for a friend a few years ago)

Being Nine.
I watch, I smile, I wonder At this cheeky little minx. She leaps and runs and skips Stands on her hands and laughs. She reads and writes and draws, She hums and sings and shouts. She is lithe and lively Full of raw energy. In my mind, she sparkles Like a  glistening star, Each day, each week, twinkling With humour and surprise. Even with juvenile words Her fresh spirit shines forth. Her love, her guile, her resolve, Her  mischief eyes, her pout, Her charm, her warmth, her joy, They enrich my daily life. Soon sleepy,  she snuggles close. Her matchstick arms give mighty hugs. Her fine flowing fair hair Settles against my chin. Eyes closed,  her dark lashes Brush her rose petal cheeks. I watch, I smile, I give thanks.
