Tribute to LC
For Leonard
Without knowing it
You have been my muse, my lover, my teacher, my friend
From the moment I heard you sing Suzanne...did I say sing?
I knew that you and I would have a love affair
Without words
Without touch
Without song
Without sight
Without ever meeting
Your songs have made my days and my nights
Inspired my poetry, my love,
and my longing for love
They have eroticized my nights
Made me melancholy
Happy yet sad
Left me longing for that ideal love that exists
in your songs
And in your heart
To which
I have been voyeur,
willing and unwilling participant,
Turned on, turned off
But always,
Simply touched.
Joan Lee (Oakville, Canada)
