A sleepless night fearing fraught eyes opened to expected loss of dear friend love and you have wandered far from any truth London boy for always I shall be loving you just for who you are virtually flowered is my heart and precious is the imagined scent I'd not exchange them for perfumed roses or petals to swiftly fade your pain I've felt your heart mine own has touched I'd not let a bond slip idly away beneath foreign skies not let our unheard voices die so silently Trust me That is all I beg *** ...for my dear friend Stephen who has known much hurt and little trust at this time... |

This is very moving Severn - I am quite touched by it. You have some beautiful lines in there! - You have a wonderfully caring heart, and it shows. Any ex-pat (of whatever age,) in some corner of a foreign field, would feel closer to home in the warmth of your comforting words. |

Severn A delicate and beautifully structured art work. You have a precision and manner that, I'm sure, would move any one so honoured to tears. Your London Boy must, I'm certain, consider himself to be blessed indeed. Would that we all could use our language thus. |

I echo all of the above statements. It is a beautiful piece of work, Severn. To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |

You do have the words at the tip of your pen to express what's in your heart, and that is one of the reasons your poetry is so exquisite. The other reason is that you've got poet genes. A natural talent. I am every time amazed and I think your London friend is very fortunate to have someone that he can trust Liz |

Your words always move me Severn--it seems that beauty touched down for just a moment on the page--then left me in awe. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Beautifully done, Severn....words like silk that flow like wine. You are such a wonderful poet! I need a book of your poetry, and Rainbow Girl's fireplace, my Bocelli CD's, a nice soft blanket, candles and a bottle of champagne and I'd be all set! It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Truly Kamla your heart overflows with love and your poetry expresses it better than a hug ever could - I'm sure these words (so wonderful, i'm so jealous!) will comfort him and to know that he can trust in you - i'd definitely vouch for your trustworthiness!!! If i were this page, i'd be so honoured to have been graced by these words. |
