Sweet surrender

Last night we watched the the live concert of the great Leonard Cohen.
We sat there mezmerized by a poem of his that he recited.
The depth and beauty of his words sent shivers though my body.
We also came to the conclussion that he like his sex kinky, and has the traits of a male sub. So here it is, enjoy.





LEONARD COHEN




"A Thousand Kisses Deep"

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .










lalla - This one is the best of the new ones.
My favorite one before it is "I"m your man" which very much supports your sub theory.
And the one before that I loved was "Dance me to the end of love." He is amasing.

Ru_vash - It was an amazing concert and a wonderful present, so again, thank you, love.
About his BDSM outlook, even before the term BDSM was in wide use, I understood his lifeview shared the paradoxical aspects of the sweet torment, the contradictions and truth of pain and pleasure, sacrifice and becoming.
Even the early songs like Suzanne and Hallelujah have implied or direct references.
Not BDSM chic, but rather his understanding and ability to express the truth of contradictions helped make him one of the great musical poets of the age.
