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

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
