To Dear Leonard, for 40 years my friend and saviour many times, although we have never met.
Seeing you in concert recently, twice, was a dream come true and every word meant something special, your music taking me to a better place every time.
I wish you a very happy birthday with many more.
With Love, MarianneH xxx

Happy birthday Leonard

Enjoy your celebrations - and your cigarette of course, if you do have one :)

Thank you once again for the music over the years.

Dear Leonard,

Happy Birthday and thank you for the companionship your word and song provided me during 40 years of my life. It feels to me like we are growing old together. When I mentioned this to Esther, your sister responded with a big laugh: “What fans will come up with!”

Happy Birthday, Leonard. Didn't want to wait till tomorrow. Although I'll probably post again on THE DAY.
I am so thrilled that you are alive on this earth and creating words and music. I love Popular Problems. The songs are just for me.
When you are gone from this earth your creations will live on in me, and when I am gone they will travel with me.
Love

To a Poet Living Long:

Happy Birthday Leonard Cohen
Long persists your dulcet tone
Your genes were good
Your karma right
So you don't have to say "Good Night"
Unless the climate wipes us out
You'll still be with us, have no doubt
Should Armageddon blow its horn
We'll hear you singing on that morn.

What to say to such a great person for such a great event?!...
I don't think words are good enough.
I'll just speak the language of my soul to tell him this:
Thank you, Leonard, for always being a part of my inner secret life, thank you for being there for me, thank you for writing all those lyrics and all that music just for me, only for me, thank you for knowing me so well!
Happy birthday and many happy returns of this blessed day, Leonard Cohen!


I FEEL
Elena Vladescu – October 6, 2006

I feel at night, when holding you, that i'm your rhyme,
I sense inside my tearful soul my love's a crime,
I feel at dawn when waking up my sun would shine
If I found your shape on the pillow, next to mine.

I feel at night when making love a border line
which separates us with an unmerciful amount of time,
I feel at dawn when waking up in your embrace
we have a terrible amount of love to face.

I feel at night when kissing you on your dark eyes
a gentle shiver shaking through my naked thighs,
I feel at dawn when waking up in love's sweet sighs
we could from our deepest feelings to arise.

I feel you could be mine, my love divine -
just drink a glass of wine, and take your time...

Dear Leonard,

Thank you for all those years we had to endure with you (and you with us) and let's hope this happy union will continue for long, long time.
