"i heard of a man, who says words so beautifully, that if he only speaks their name, women give themselves to him.

if i am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips, it is because i hear a man climb the stairs and clear his throat outside our door."

(silent all these years ~ tori amos and leonard cohen)

beautiful isn't it? i'd give myself to leonard cohen in a heartbeat.

sometimes im surrounded by so much beauty that it overwhelms me.

tried composing a song sitting in the car with friends last night. the other vocalist (male) didnt want to contribute. but another friend was surprised that i just put together words and a melody just like that and sang. doesn't everybody?
