shivers

shivers

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Ashes adrift in cold breezy whispers
Mesmerized Monday finally seen

So I sat here/there fingers achingly tapless over blurred keys.
Wetly wondering in salted moving air...
Clouds huddle together crowding for position-
avoiding the ever sinking sun
Welcoming darkness impatient in the wings....

Soon .....well soon enough words would dribble-
dropping double entendres in croissant swirls.


Darting and daring to form movements
creating caresses to shiver-

shudder tingle spine touches...
tuning vibrating space in distant time
timely distance

springing to spark the awe of appreciation
begging for light to guide them

LIke 'clouds huddle together crowding for position' and 'Welcoming darkness impatient in the wings'. Got metaphoric drama and movement there.
