HOW LEONARD COHEN AND MICKEY ROURKE SEES LOVE
HOW LEONARD COHEN AND MICKEY ROURKE SEES LOVE
Yes, because I am used to failure, smoke and
Sadness comes from my poems. Leonard Cohen
Wrote poetry and could not make a living from
Poetry so he finally became a songwriter.
My poems are artic blasts from past failures;
Mickey Rourke plays an alcoholic poet in Bar
Fly. What is so fucking romantic about failure?
I’ll tell you what is so romantic about failure
It is only romantic because the poet tries to make
Sense of things the way they are. He is not concerned
With the way the world sees him but how he sees the world
It is the poet in you who must adjudicate between an
Abstract value of feeling and the market value of the world.
For this Leonard Cohen and Mickey Rourke should be praised.
