Angie---Inspired By The great Leonard Cohens Poem Suzanne

Angie

Angie meets me nightly

In her shack down by the river

She feeds me magic spells and potions

Spins my head around like crazy

As I look into the pools of her eyes.

The big boats sailing by us

As I spend the night lay with her

Just as I am to tell her

My love for life is empty

and nothing now can fill it

She says

She has always been my lover

Touches her lips softly upon my soul

Then all I want is to be beside her

Drain myself within her

For she’s reached inside my body

To my mind.

The sunlight drips like honey

As her skin glows gold before me

She takes my hand in hers and leads me

Into the weeds and the flowers

I see children lost and lonely

Reaching out for my hand only

They have waited there forever

Love will find them never

She said all men were shipwrecked

As they floated in the oceans

Where they drift into her safe harbor

And she fed them magic potions

Their souls rise up into heaven

Far away and far above us

Leaving loneliness in the river

Sinking like a stone.

Her lips kiss my lips softly

Her eyes a magic mirror

I swear to leave her never

Her face reflects down in the water

The river is still and silent

As it catches the falling teardrops

from her eyes
