who by fire by Leonard Cohen
joannadangelo:
And who by fire, who by water, who in the sunshine, who in the night time, who by high ordeal, who by common trial, who in your merry merry month of may, who by very slow decay, and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate, who in these realms of love, who by something blunt, and who by avalanche, who by powder, who for his greed, who for...

It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked...”

The city refused to rest quietly under the gauze of melancholy he had draped over the buildings. It reasserted its indifference.
Moving Into A Period
vut:
You and I, who yearn for blameless intimacy, we will be unwilling to speak even the first words of inquisitive delight, for fear of reprisals Everything desperate will live behind a joke. But I swear that I will stand within the range of your perfume.
My Redeemer
vut:
I think of you all the time But I can’t speak about you any more I must love you secretly I must come to you when I am alone As I am now And even now I must be careful I want all the women You created in your image That is why I lower my eyes When I pass them in the street
During The Day
vut:
I love the furrows between your eyes
Disturbed This Morning
vut:
At. That. That’s what I was so disturbed about this morning: my desire has come back, and I want you again. I was doing so fine, I was above it all. The boys and girls were beautiful and I was an old man, loving everyone. And now I want you again, I want your absolute attention, your underwear rolled down in a hurry still hanging on one foot, and nothing on my mind but to be inside the only...
ANTHEM

The birds they sang at the break of day Start again I heard them say Don’t dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be.

the end of December. I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better. New York is cold, but I like where I’m living There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening. I hear that you’re building your little house deep in the desert You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some kind of record. Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that...

by Leonard Cohen
I stopped to listen, but he did not come. I begain again with a sense of loss. As this sense deepened I heard him again. I stopped stopping and I stopped starting, and I allowed myself to be crushed by ignorance. This was a strategy, and didn’t work at all. Much time, years were wasted in such a minor mode.

I Can't Forget
esthete:
I stumbled out of bed, I got ready for the struggle I smoked a cigarette, and I tightened up my gut. I said “This can’t be me, must be my double.” And I can’t forget, I can’t forget I can’t forget but I don’t remember what I’m burning up the road, I’m heading down to Phoenix I got this old address of someone that I knew. It was high and fine and free, ah, you should have seen us....
