Shiver Poems

Shiver

In another life, we were.

I hope you found
what you are looking for.

Is it too late?
Don’t turn around.

Here and everywhere,
I remember you.

In the summer wind,
what once was.

Shiver Shake Not : Song

pretty or slippery are not my names
no time for docile dolly games
peaceful presence my authenticity aims
ascension not something timidly tame 
 
Chorus : shiver shake not, I have nothing to hide
flowing with life’s lovely tide

if you cannot bear scars and shadows 
go elsewhere to see what flavour marrows 
sure I hold open portal doors
when lightning

GHOST, RIVER, SHIVER, MASTICATE, COLD, POMPOUS

The cold wind swirled the mist all along the bank,
The ferryman held onto the boat, whilst the gentleman walked across the narrow plank,
The man looked quite pompous as he chewed upon his pipe,
He was large and looked like a cow masticating on fresh grass, I hope the man doesn’t develop

Premium MemberFrozen Shiver Shakes


Icebergs floated all around me –
frozen is no place to safely flee.
I fell down on an ice crystal,
then I heard you whistle
and felt myself turn towards bold
so I could leave this place so cold.

So many crevices and cracks.
Frigid ice coated my back.
A glacier's huge backhand
flew our memories to slush land.

As my shivers began to shake,
I

Premium MemberOn Being Awoken Early

My friends, it is a dismal thing
At such an hour to pound and ring!
Let others shiver if they must,
I shall not greet a sky of rust!
Let first the air be half so warm
As in this covered nest I form.
And then, perhaps, if need of it,
I’ll lift an eye, and half-way sit.

Shiver

In the heart of winter's embrace,
Where the world wears a frosty lace,
A shiver dances through the air,
A whisper of cold beyond compare.

The trees stand bare, their leaves long shed,
Their branches etched in icy thread,
A shiver courses through their veins,
As Jack Frost weaves his crystalline chains.

The sun, a pale and distant eye,
Casting shadows long and shy,
Its

NOONRAY IN WINTER

NOONRAY IN WINTER 

Noonray in your navel 
a locus for language light
whale wave wishes
in water songs kisses
as July just jokes along

Winter wonder words waffling 
storm crown chakra baffling 
cold she stirs potted iced rice
as rain rigorously roars
Noonray holds the dice

On hailstone highway she 
instantly marries marigold 
instinct with indigo intuition 
timing tactical thunderbolts 
favouring floods

Premium MemberThe Quiver

A thought
Of dreed
A primal fear
Sends a shiver
A quiver
Down the spine
And through
The soul
That makes
The body shake
And quake
A quick glance around
To see
If anyone noticed
The impromptu
Involuntary dance
Of the soul
In your body
That held
It down
That thought
That dreed
Those tortures
Of your
Soul

Moody's Groove

rough lumber
and 32 inches of 
concrete stabilized cobb
with interior and siding
and rough lumber ends
to make the interior
look like a log cabin
a overlapping roof
with windows centered
16 inches inside
the
rough lumbered walls
a rustic modern
living area
to sheild the
persons from the
ruffs of winter
and the harsh heat
of sumer.

Premium MemberLet's Get Physical

When day’s chores are tucked away,
I imagine you ‘that’ way.
My heart pounds within my chest.
I’m disarrayed and distressed.

The walls are too close, I feel
each corner is closer still.
My throat tight, I cannot breathe.
My fever I need to sheathe.

When you come into my view
I feel my panic renew.
My blood pressure does arise
as I gaze into your

Quiver

“Quiver”--how soft it glides ‘tween lips and teeth,
It almost feels like breathing in a wreath;
I can’t find words that can sound as tender 
Except, possibly, “flower” and “whisper.”

“Quiver”--how opposite the image it brings:
Both unpleasant and delightful feelings;
Like a sore bee sting that gives the shudder,
Or a lover’s touch that makes one shiver.

A pretty thing makes

Shiver Shiva

Shiver for Shiva is about.
The made must be undone
the created made to dance
on new flames.

Halloween is due,
all the old souls
will be flying in the night
on new broom sticks.
The days are crushed together,
black-ice has made them
fragile and slippery.

Shiver, for Shiva stamps his foot
on the innocent and the black-hearted
all will be blessed,
for a long winter has come
he
