STYLISH WRITES

Ode to Leonard Cohen

Nations shall not falter

Nor the opening time at the mall.

The value of the dollar

shall be fought and won

with the purchase of a car

to be parked on the lawn of a suburban condo

while living far from downtown Montreal.

One gets to ones’ destiny by first passing

through the hall (the hall of time.)

You may live longer depending on how you drive.

In the meantime sleep soundly in your bed.

The cradle of civilization may not know

when one is dead.

(P.S. Poem written at 3 AM)


ECSTASY

Sweetheart, open up your heart to me

the way I open my heart to poetry

Our souls will intertwine with ecstasy.

Yet at peace, we will strive to be.

Hopefully I will achieve serenity.
