Listening to Leonard Cohen is way better than eating the most exquisite chocolate~

the above photo is of a wall in Montreal near Concordia University.

Listen to poem:
Deep and deliberate The voice of a soul Who’s circled At the gates Of hell Come back Loaded with A message To set things right I’d recognize His voice Anywhere Bluesy Sultry Seductive Intoxicating Shout out To my very core Call out To my very soul Transfixed Quivering I’m a captive Hummingbird It’s not the words He says Or those he doesn’t It’s the music The delivery How it emanates From depths within Resonates Beneath my skin Baring his soul A vulnerability Unlike any I’ve ever seen Whispering Mercilessly Strumming At my heart His hot breath At the nape Of my neck Kissed and Caressed Blissfully Given Possessed And spent Tears that cry To be set free Feeling mellow Transported On a cosmic journey Clinging to his wing Bringing me to Heaven’s gate Read on air by invitation ~ April 16, 2021 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: 1st place 2021, Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on February 7, 2020

Dear Line, the first time I read his poetry, I was literally floored. He definitely takes us to the far and beyond with his poetry and his broken Alleluja. Thank you for sharing such a deep poem. Be well xo
