Just Passing Through —
was written a few days ago before I read the following poem written by the incredibly poet and singer/song writer Leonard Cohen. I found the following poem only this morning when I picked up Leonard Cohen’s Poems and Songs and felt the connection of his poem to mine. They are not remotely alike, yet have a similar feel. ‘As the Mist Leaves No Scar’ was a new poem to me and I was surprised at the collective thought in this poem and mine. I hope you enjoy both since this is an unusual posting style for me.
As The Mist Leaves No Scar
By Leonard Cohen As the mist leaves no scar On the dark green hill, So my body leaves o scar On you, nor ever will. When wind and hawk’s encounter, What remains to keep? So you and I encounter, The turn, then fall to sleep. As many nights endure Without a moon or star, So will we endure When one is gone and far From page 22, Leonard Cohen: Poems and Songs Everyman’s Pocket Book Edited by Robert Faggen Copyright © 2011 Everyman’s Press ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Just Passing Through
You came to me Unexpectedly… A Surprise… Yes, but… Not really This is just your style Your voice filled with lust… desire… expectation… anticipation… And… A question on your tongue… Leaving the decision once again… to me. A friend with Benefits whose company I do Enjoy… Neither of us owing anything to the other except… mutual pleasure And respect One night of passion… pleasure… and pain… You are gone… Until the next time you are Just Passing Through © 2013 Annie Original PoetryAlways…I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
As Ever, Annie
