Shiver

You transmit in alphabet icicle candles 
Dipped into crystal and crimson wine 
Drawn with a sensual needlepoint tracing 
From the nape of my neck to the base of my spine. 

I shiver beneath your moonlight gazing, 
Freeze in the grip of your loving charms, 
Thaw and dissolve in a sensate kaleidoscope, 
Yet shiver and melt in the warmth of your arms. 

You send me in seizures of rapid breathing 
Chilled in a fjord where midnight snows, 
Massaged with a touch of frost and volcano 
From the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

I shiver despite your body temperature, 
Tremor though heat rages out of your skin; 
Anticipate love with a soul full of certainty 
Yet shiver for life is about to begin...
