AS you would for a lover--inspired by leonard Cohens Song

I know I stand below the shadow of your beauty
I know the line that awaits your favors is long.
But I stand and  there I remain.
To you in your starry tower
Your loveliness is ordinary.
But to me it floods my heart with grace.

Let your hair fall for me.
As you would for a lover.
Hear the songs that my desperate heart sings.
Ignore my lonely failings for I shall repent them.
To share a moment in your eyes.

Loosen your gossamer gown
As you would for a lover.
Feel the need of my want.
Breathe the fires of my passion.
Take this burning from my heart.

Lie beside me in the moon's light
As you would for a lover.
Feed on me until hunger turns to greed.
Drain the soul from my body.
And take the loneliness from my heart.
As you would for a lover…..
As you would for a lover.

I Love Leonard Cohens Poetry
