Love Poem: Listen To the Warm

Listen To the Warm

"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


Look deep into my Springtime and listen to the warm Leave all traces of winter behind Listen closely...and you'll hear the drip drops fall from that ice crystal fortress that surrounds your heart. I understand why it's there But now that it's melting away, it's easier to be able to Listen to the warm... The drips from your heart's fortress have formed a babbling brook With bated breath you board the boat with me Soon the topaz water's gurgling sound is in sync with your breathing And you relax Our destination? A cozy little cottage, in the middle of no where, but home to us Beneath our feet the lush green grass is speckled with wild flowers You pick a magenta one, and place it in my hair Like a couple of kids on a play date, we clasp hands and scurry across the field, our laughter echoing along with our steps We see that the door is ajar, a fluffy turquoise rug beckons us Snuggling upon it, I find the rug is even softer than it looks, as is your skin Soon the thunderous din of your heartbeat is in sync with mine Quite a rhythm section amid hushed whispers and the babbling brook outside our window
It becomes our lullaby, as we dream within this dream, we continue to Listen to the warm... Allowing the warmth to embrace us, our hearts say, that everything will be okay...
