Even Now


Image borrowed from Bing

Even Now

I did not know
how simple you are
how generous
I tried to capture you
with rhymes
and erotic
suggestions.

Even now
you yawn
in my heart
bored and alone
rubbing ointments
all over your body
and touching yourself
while I tarry.

Leonard Cohen

from BOOK OF LONGING
