the night is bandit...

and I shivered.
Love gained, in sweet 
September....

     My lips so dry they quivered

  Salty tears clouded my eyes
     my plumbing bowdlerized...

what shivered 
out in the cold
thy naked soul
that we witness 
the autumn leaves 
have changed to gold
without someone to hold...

The heart start shivered within.
But now-  girls ignite my fuel,
From peers shivering my skin!...

Shamus shivered, silently seconding Sheila’s sassy sage suggestion....

It seemed the silent world was white.
He shivered as the snowflakes fell,
And watched her footprints fade from sight....

shivered in horror
when death rolls.

I shivered an amorous snail
                                          climbing up intrepid a leg wall
                                          light years ahead before I sleep...

AUTUMN
                                             shivered  yellow sun
                                      struck by autumn demureness
                                             scurries to the west...

it rained as you left,
and your goodbye shivered in
the rear view mirror...

ice cold reflection looked back
as tires broke the silence

I shivered on the shore where first we met,
and watched the broken moon dance on the lake;
this solstice eve, as memories beget,
now always drift the moment I awake - 
with peace within a heart that can't forget......

The lady,
came out,
and turned about,
she was on a shout,
kid heard it loud,
he shivered,
in anticipation,
stood fixed for a moment,
then shook head as if shrugging it down all,
and went about playing the ball....

This day of Autumn shivered
And then did sneeze.
A thousand gold-leafed foiling
Of birch, beech spilt.

Soon, and colder, will it be
Known for its wheeze.
What from off each bough, dance-frozed
Spooks finch's lilt....

Bare hands stirring over my body
Little resistance, pushed against wall
Echoing of my scream shivered down
Strong figure felt like a known to me
The stare sensed me of my own blood
Little did I know, Dad about you..

A splendid butterfly 
Floated out there 
I there frozen 
Watching, winging in flight
Gazing its beauty 
Onto the air
Its rippled wings
Shivered, so bright
Couldn't allow it 
Out of my stare
Such a beautiful invite...

There was a one-eyed pirate named Fred
Who wanted to reform and get wed
The wench who took his measure
Had got used to the treasure
So she shivered his timbers instead

A seeming kindness and gentleness wooed me 
and like a wounded dove beneath your hand, I quivered.
To calm a flight filled heart was your decree
and yet conquest and not contact was delivered,
wanting, waiting, for your touch, I shivered....

                                                     A smack
                                                    I shivered 
                                                 Moon eclipsed...

I found monkey behind the bush throwing up
He must have had one too many bananas
He ended up scaring the raccoon out of me
As i shivered i must have had too much wine
Being not much inclined to strong stuff...
I curled in bed as angels swam in and out...

The downpour was steady
As the father and son 
Took shelter under a tree
Soaked, all three shivered in delight
As the father gently lifted a leaf
A kiss on a little boy’s smiling cheek!

Autumn’s shivered eyes
closing over brittle tears;
deepened breath as winter calls.
Late November dreams
of summer’s fevered essence;
life bloomed green in lush bouquet.

Jazz was born beneath a heap of rubble,
An abandoned stray, her life was a poem
The more she shivered, slunk and tried to hide
The more she appealed to my rescuing side.
It took lots of convincing to bring her home.
She was certainly worth all of the trouble....

Mariposa lilies floated
cool white on the incandescent 
embers of their core.

You shivered, pale as a silver
fever. 103 degrees. For days
you hallucinated Mercury.

Out here in sunshine, the world 
has been spinning us dizzy. 
Wake up and join the dance....
