Our friendship unmeasured by the strife of ................................distance your voice melted my darkness and words true became precious by the ringing of your tones …I succumbed to trusting… ~ I am not an easy catch of trust ~ I have seen through discoloured eyes and tasted lies sharp and ruining tentatively given to a myriad bright angels false And there you were my friend holding me voicely as I bled through those lines I felt your hug in the warmed air around and saw your smile through the laugh of your lilt our world of huge separation is sole geography and joy lives in ignorance of all but the hush inside I have already flown there no longer than a breath of care and I stood outside your heart and was welcomed ~safely~ 21.12.99 ~*~*~ For Lizzy |

My dear Kamly, Your poem brought tears to my eyes How beautifully your heart replies I have no words the thank you, dear Except to say that you are near Near to the hearts of the poets all And I'll be waiting for your call And if you need a poet some day We are all just a little phone call away Thank you, dear friend. You're an angel! Love ya, Liz |

This is beautiful, reminded me of all the times my best friend and I comforted each other on the phone when we couldn't be together due to geography. Wonderful! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Wonderful Severn. . . I really like the formatting too. . . it really helps convey that idea of "distance". . . so many people don't realize that poems can be works of art without being read. . . Elizabeth, you must be touched. . . That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Thankyou very much everyone, your words mean so much to me. And without my friend Lizzy it wouldn't have been written. - Dearest Lizzy you left me in a tizzy when you called me Kamly and look at me being rhymy! LOL My friend - you were a saviour that day. |

Kamla...I will echo all above and add that this is one of the most beautiful tribute poem of love for a friend that I've ever read....I could feel that love so strongly while reading.....most wonderful piece! A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! Shannon |

Friendship is a gift of life. You give your life to us each time you write Severn, and you do it so well. Straight from the heart. B Gravitt |

sorry had to add my reply haven't been around for a while so have a bit of catching up to do! (And no you don't have to reply to the reply but it definately needs to be up the top!). Well even as i read it i knew who it was for so you captured Liz very well! As usual, another excellent work of art from the famous Kamla! Hope you had a good christmas sweetie. |
