Beyond

Leonard Cohen can make me cry
with just four words in one line.

He told me that he has received an invitation.
This proves that his case is not yet,
laid to rest.

Beyond, beyond, beyond
tarnish, the tainted and raven,
beauty has always been enough
to turn on heaven.

And the love of beauty is
beyond, beyond, beyond
obedience, frustration, craving.
This is the place of constant longing

Travel with Leonard.
I won’t tell you how or what to listen too.
There are circles of laughter
and smokes of pain.

Decisions have to be made
on how to pack and begin again.
Beyond, beyond, beyond
love and beauty
are train schedules.



I Love You Leonard

Leonard Cohen is G-d.
The more I listen
the more I know
that his love
is certain.

How else could G-d
be our saviour,
be our master and spaceship.
Suffer servant,
you deserve to die well.

Leonard Cohen is G-d.
His voice is unpronounceable.
The songs take you to the edge.
I love you Leonard,
for this is certain, from above.

God has the credentials
to be Leonard Cohen.
His sorrow and beauty
creates the word.
His lovin’ is what we live for.

Cohen may be G-d,
more or less,
Word is if
you're G-d less,
not so good,
If you're G-d more
you're something else;
the Nameless has no need
of more or less.
G-d, yes. Cohen
Not, yet. Nameless
