A Tribute to Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne"

To me, Leonard Cohen's song Suzanne reaches into the secret darkness of the yearning soul.
It speaks to the physical, spiritual and social conscience.

One Stop Poetry ~ Celebrating Leonard Cohen
+ One Shot Wednesday
Poetry Pantry #57

Among the sensual secrets of the soul is a longing to
Devour
Drain
An eternal flagon of
Nirvana

On the bank
The river bank
Remote
Tea and oranges
Earthy heavenly juices
Wines from
A river of
Real diamonds and
Gold
Wait

And there too is a new Siren
Suzanne
A blind girl
Blind to synthetic social scaffolding
A gypsy
A matchmaker
Twining
Humble heroes and
Seaweed from
Children and
Mornings
