Leonard Cohen

My all-time favorite poet and songwriter.
My secret lover from another dimension.
Where are you now?
Hope you are still writing and making “lives” better every day for millions of listeners; with the depth of your thoughts, your suffering, your self-seeking, your “black” humor, your words, your elegance, and your unconditional modesty.
Miss you, Leonard Cohen!

“Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah”
~ Leonard Cohen

“Suddenly the night has grown colder
The god of love preparing to depart
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart”
—————————————————————
“Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.”

~ Leonard Cohen

“And she’s there where
The light and the darkness divide
And the steam’s coming off her
She’s huge and she’s shy
And she steps on the moon…
When she paws at the sky”
~ Leonard Cohen

“Come over to the window, my little darling
I’d like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home.”

~ Leonard Cohen

Words

meet

silence

behind them.
