Time to Meet Up in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ Kim is hosting ~ our challenge today is to write an Acrostic poem using a name ~ any name we choose. Those who know me, understand my undying love for the man, the poet, the voice ~~ Leonard Cohen. My acrostic is all about HIM.
BEFORE
EVERY WORD A QUIET CONFESSION
OLD WORLD CHARM WRAPPED IN SHADOW
NIGHTS ARE DEEPER WITH HIS MUSIC
A POET WHO UNDERSTOOD LONGING
REVERENCE IN EVERY BROKEN HALLELUJAH
DESIRE DRESSED IN CLASSY DIGNITY
DURING
LURING HIM WITH DINNER, CANDLELIGHT, WINE
EYES THAT HAVE SEEN TOO MUCH TO RUSH OFF
OH, YOU AREN'T LEAVING JUST YET !!
NO DOOR IS OPEN ONCE YOU JOIN ME
AFTER ALL, I HAVE WAITED A LIFETIME
RESISTANCE MIGHT BE CHARMING, BUT FUTILE
DINNER MAY END ~~ BUT WE CERTAINLY WON'T
LATER
LIPS THAT TURN LYRICS INTO TEMPTATION
EVERY LINE A SLOW, SLOW BURN
OBSESSION FEELS LIKE HEAVEN WHEN YOU SING
NOTHING ABOUT US IS INNOCENT THIS NIGHT
A MAN WHO MAKES SHEER SILENCE SEDUCTIVE
ROOM GROWS MORE INTIMATE BY THE SECOND
DON'T EXPECT ESCAPE ~~~~~~
