Their relationship resulted in the birth of Adam Cohen in 1972 and Lorca Cohen in 1974. It’s noteworthy that Suzanne Elrod served as a source of inspiration for Leonard Cohen’s song “The Gypsy Wife,” composed shortly after their final separation.

Leonard Cohen’s earlier and iconic song, “Suzanne,” was, however, inspired by another woman, Suzanne Verdal, with whom he had a close friendship and occasional romantic involvement during his time in Montreal.

They later ventured to rural Tennessee and the Greek Island of Hydra, where Cohen had previously lived with his first muse, Marianne Ihlen. It was during this period that Cohen penned the song “I Tried to Leave You,” reflecting the complexity and fragility of their relationship.

Relationship DynamicsSuzanne Elrod’s relationship with Leonard Cohen was not without its complexities. Aviva Layton, the wife of Cohen’s close friend Irving Layton, recounted an incident where Elrod traveled to Greece and reportedly evicted Marianne Ihlen and her son Axel from Cohen’s rustic cabin. Ihlen and Cohen had shared this cabin for several years, and Cohen had allowed her to continue living there after their breakup.Family Life

In a 2012 profile in New York magazine, Adam Cohen, Suzanne and Leonard’s son, described his upbringing as “a circus with two tents,” emphasizing the eccentricities of both his mother and father.

Suzanne Elrod remains a figure of interest for her influence on Leonard Cohen’s creative output and her place in the life of one of the most celebrated musicians and poets of the 20th century.

আমার আছে কষ্ট পাহাড়

আমার আছে কষ্ট পাহাড়
পারভেজ হুসেন তালুকদার

আমার আছে কষ্ট পাহাড় অশ্রু জলের ঝর্ণা
দুখের আকাশ দুখের বাতাস আমার কভু পর না
ঝর্ণা বেয়ে নদী –
ব্যাথার স্রোতে কষ্ট ঢেউয়ে বইছে নিরবধি
বলতে হারাই বাক এ আমি ইচ্ছে করি যদি।

ছল করা সব সুখকে বলি সুখরে বিলি কর না
আমার মনে সুখের বাতাস উপচে গিয়ে পড়্ না।
দে না সুখের আলো –
মুছ মননের কষ্ট-ভরা সব বেদনার কালো
আমিও তো মানুষ আমার মননটা চায় ভালো।

থেকে যাক প্রেম

থেকে যাক প্রেম
পারভেজ হুসেন তালুকদার

জীবনের নদীটার বায়ে বাঁক
প্রীতিদের গীতি ঢেউ থেকে যাক
থেকে যাক স্রোত আর কালো জল
দুচোখের কোণে এসে টলমল।

মুছে যাক মুখে যত হাসি সব
গুছে যাক প্রাণে যত কলরব
ফুলে যত পাপড়িরা ঝরে যাক
জীবনের আশা যত ইতি পাক।

ইতি পাক ছন্দেরা কবিতার
মুছে যাক ছবি ওই সবিতার
মন থেকে মুছে যাক যত দাগ
থেকে যাক প্রেম যত শতভাগ।

কোন বাগানের ফুলগো তুমি

কোন বাগানের ফুলগো তুমি
পারভেজ হুসেন তালুকদার

কোন বাগানের ফুলগো তুমি
কোন বাগানের ফুল,
হাত বাড়িয়ে ছুঁইতে মানা
তোলতেও ফুল ভুল।

চোখ জুড়িয়ে দেখতে মানা
শুকতে মানা ঘ্রাণ,
কোন বাগানের ফুলগো তুমি
কাড়লে এমন প্রাণ।

বিজয় মানে

বিজয় মানে
পারভেজ হুসেন তালুকদার

বিজয় মানে রক্ত ঝরা একাত্তরের গান
বুলেট বোমার বজ্রধ্বনি আর্তনাদের তান
বিজয় মানে গ্রামের পরে গ্রাম পোড়ানো ছাই
মা হারালো কোলের ছেলে বোন হারালো ভাই
বিজয় মানে সে সব স্মৃতি ঝরলো লাখো প্রাণ
বিজয় মানে স্বাধীনতা রত্ন ফুলের ঘ্রাণ।

শুভ জন্মদিন (রাঙা আম্মু)

শুভ জন্মদিন

(রাঙা আম্মু)
– পারভেজ হুসেন তালুকদার

গোলাপের মত করে
হোক জীবন
সুপথের পথচারী
হতে হোক পণ।

শ্রদ্ধার ফুল করি
নিবেদন আজ
তুমি যে নতুন ভোর
নাতো কোনো সাঁঝ।

শুভ-দিনে শুভেচ্ছা
প্রাণ থেকে নিও
সুন্দরে জীবনটা
তুমি পাড়ি দিও।

ব্যক্তিত্ব ও বিনয়

ব্যক্তিত্ব ও বিনয়
দুটোই জীবনে অনেক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ
কিন্তু অতিরিক্ত বিনয় এবং
বিনয়-শূন্যতা সবসময় আমার দ্বারা অসমর্থিত।
