Shivers

by Nicole M. - Gemini

My skin
   muscles
      bones
Essence
Ripples
  

To the familiarity
   Or the the quality about you
      That is still alluding me-
It has been words of seduction
     and ones of pure kindness
Some of fear
   And some fear-envoking.

Accompanied by contentment
     and longing at the same time
They have started in my heart
   Some started in my mind
The others...from where ever they damn well please.

For venturing in my uncharted territory
     for hoping to hear those words of praise
to put to ease my insecure ways
For anticipating the time
   I can give back all you've given me.
For acknowledging this may not have a happy ending-
    Products of the tears I am not crying.
For letting go and accepting the risks
       the consequences I am taking.

These shivers you are giving-
