Shiver

Your breath slinks around my neck

Not putting your pounding your heart in check.

My blood freezes as cold as ice

As you look into my eyes.

You whisper words into my ear

Words I barely manage to hear.

The edge of my vision starts turning black

I know from here there's no turning back.

Down I go, into your arms

Safe from danger but not from harm.

I'm out then, out like a stone

Hands like ice chill me to the bone.

You touch my face and touch my hair

I feel you but can't hear you there.

I call to you and try to scream

Because it's bursting at its seems.

This slow sensuous seduction

A love symphony by your conduction

Is sweet and sharp and like bloods taste

Building in a gentle haste.

Like two stars we collapse and burst

Coming in to our love's first

Full flowering free-fall field

Letting the fire burn and build

Until we have nothing left

Matching each other breath for breath.

Suddenly I can see you again

And looking at your face's grin

I feel my own surprise

And see the mischief in your eyes.

I wonder at what we have done

How our hearts have become one

Like lovers in the days of ol'

I shiver fiercely at my thought--

I've found the love I've always sought.
