Silent Shiver


A new poem started to form in my mind, I did not expect an alliterative piece to be the result.





Silent Shiver  -  25 Dec 13

Silent dark
Starless in the cloud-filled night
Sketching colourless phantoms in
Silverpoint detail
Sleeping spirits have
Spiral dreams to keep them company
Scant moments to prepare
Stirring wakefulness as you
Shiver while asleep
See the tired dream
Slide into the mind
Succubus awaits





I did not expect the the content either, especially given the day ~ Joyeux Noel everybody.
