Cohen, L.

Cohen, L

He is a troubadour

sets poems to music

he is a lyricist

a songwriter

Leonard Cohen

has a message

He is a troubadour

harkens from Montreal

sets message to music

a songwriter

When I listen

I am in the room

His voice draws me in

it expresses his emotion

while I listen to his words

a troubadour

I Made Me

I made me

in spite of them  

am I arrogant

I might be

were they so bad

I made me

trying to avoid

being like 

either of them

I succeed

What If

What If

What if

the sea rises

and grabs me up

with a wave so big

it sweeps me out to sea

and I can’t get back to shore

not a good swimmer I sink and rise

as the angry sea rolls me crest to crest

dunks me and pummels me as it takes me away

doesn’t like the taste of me spits me back on shore

See

See

Float in my bottle

see coral beneath

sea aqua reef

see coral beneath

Sea coral 

Hum

Hum

Hum

silencing humming

no such thing

Hum

silence might

a menacing thing

Become

silence complete

a silence thing

On This Blank Page

On This Blank Page

I left it hanging out
this white blizzard
bereft of anything

Changed

Changed

from being the same old broken record

Changed

no longer play the martyr 

Changed

unfrozen from old bonds

Changed

I’m free
