Below is a quote written by one of my favorite authors Rod McKuen. He has been one of my greatest inspirations and his book "Listen To The Warm" changed my writing style. I wrote essays about him in high school and have read all his wonderful books that took me on a journey where no one else ever has. Unfortunately he passed away February 2015. I decided to write a poem based on his quote.


"It happens just because we need to want, and to be wanted too,
when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and... 
listen to the warm.”  -Rod McKuen



I hear it so gently; the warmth of our silence.
For me and you, yes us two, we grew…
after all we’ve been through....

Be still, my love…

The observations we saw while sitting in our room,
reminded me of the yesteryears; old days of yore.
Let bygones be bygones and follow the warmth
we created in silence beneath two lover’s sheets.
"I'll always need you, my sweet."
As days go by and the nights come too quick
I hear your heart beat as I lay on your chest.
Ears connected to hearts, and hearts connected into
one, forever dreaming of sweet tunes only we
can sing.

Let there be stillness in our laughter, yet 
tears in our smile, expressing all the magic we have
built up over twenty years of warm silence. 
I may be clamorous during the day but
as the night closes in I will always be speechless
in your arms. 

Lay with me during the cold days and walk with
me in the warm. Feel my hand entwined
with yours as lover’s do so often. The only difference
is that me and you…yes…us two…
will always calmly subdue….

I’ll rest myself on your lap and you can hold
me until our daily routines begin. 

Please don’t go just yet, stay with me here,
I need you to breath and you need not fear.
I always had wondered and now I know why,
we were meant to be us since that night in Versailles.

So hush…sweet man…let’s do what only lovers can…
stay by my side, hand by hand,
Tonight we shall lay together as one,
and we shall wake up in the morning
as still as the sun, waiting in anticipation to 
hear with readied ears…

~listening to the warmth of our silence~
