Night Shivers

Night shivers

under a crescent moon;

Shadows sway

and crickets chirp;

Magnlia blossoms

permeate the air

as the sweet breeze

caresses without care;

Tender kisses,

a whisper, a sigh;

A train moans

in lonesome reply;

Nobody else,

just us two;

There is nothing else

that we can do

but hold on tight

til the morning light;

Oh, how night shivers

feel so right.

I can see a subliminal wish for summer, here, Cheryl. The ambience you paint is complete and visceral; as you have said, it does "feel so right." Good job.

Let there be a chill in the air but if you can hold your beloved tight then what more warmth is needed.
Well done Cheryl,

Cheryl, this is so beautiful! A moon can make us all go all moony and romantic. I love the title of your poem,'Night Shivers'
Ten for this.

Beautiful...your love poems always make me feel like we old marrieds are leading a pretty dull life here! Mine would be something like...

Night Shivers
put on socks
Get an extra blanket
Adjust the thermostat and so on....

'as the sweet breeze caresses without care'... Fantastic love poem, Cheryl. The moon, crickets, the breeze, the train that moans - they create the right atmosphere.. Well written.

beautiful I live in a small town where there is still plenty of trees and fresh air. I often go out into my back yard and just take in nature. this write brings all that into mind.
