DISTANCE

DISTANCE

A Poem by kublakhan27
"

People who think that online friendship isn't real, hasn't been around one in a time of tragedy...08 09 14

"
Splinters of the past
lodge sadistically into
her haunted skin
planting harsh interrogations
into mortal cul-de-sacs
spinning mentally around
the core of doggedly
immortal milestones
A reality of sordid
trick questions
zap her mourning mind
like tasers of inscrutable
reminders
Closure is a hobbled
incantation handicapping
semblances of fervent prayers
Consolation drowns in remnants
of a crying candle
forced to light the dark
continuum of anniversaries
spread around a palpitating
future like frosting on a toxic cake
or a pen of tears
soaking my resigned deacon
of a distant notebook
blurring any prospect of
comprehending words

A convulsion of dividing
miles mapped inside
the vision of a motion
sickened deckhand
Smiles and embraces
whittled down to an incredulous
scribe of elegies immune
to flight on zephyrs
of a palpable alignment
of the presences of
mourner and observer

This truly touches my heart, Stevie...

The emotions overflow with love and compassion for a dear friend.

When friendships evolve, there is a special bond that forms...the heart of friendship is to understand and accept each other with open arms. And you did this wonderful thing, you gave support.

Magnificent write!~xoxo~:)

I have had so many online relationships now I can't count. A few ended, some just faded out of existence. For the most part they have been really precious acquaintance and I am better for knowing. This beautiful lady is certainly one of them and deserves every tribute she can stand. She's got a tough shell but all heart underneath. You can try to hide it all you want Mommie-sita but I love you and I see you too. This is heartwrenching and as always brilliant Kub and you do her much justice :). You both are two of the most prolific poets I know. I'm happy to be acquainted with you both. Oneness!

Thanks so much B, glad you enjoyed it :)
You shared your feelings regarding her in the way you do best. With the most amazing lines ive ever read. Theres is really nothing I can add besides you are the epitome of a good sincere friend. As for what you said about there not being real friendship online...well I'm afraid theres truth to that. Most sites including this one are awash with junior high like behaviour where friendship is more about what you can get from others in exchange for claiming your their friend. Maybe its for reviews or popularity...maybe its just needing others constant attention...whatever it is it thrives on social sites. Its hard enough in real life to tell if a person cares much less on a website where tone of voice and body language can't be determined. Its a gamble really. Youve always been a kind concerned friend and I count you as one of a small group who I call friend.

100 hugs for a wonderful tribute to a friend on her hardest day...xo

You know I'm short on words today, and this left me pretty much speechless after I read it, your poetry eased my sorrow a bit, as I know this was written from the dearest part of your heart and pen'd with affection, it's evident whilst reading. Five years feels like a lifetime, yet she was here only yesterday, I sitll listen to her last message to me....the day would have been totally agonizing without your endearing words and ever present support Steve, you own my heart in this moment. This gesture truly meant the world to me. Much love xo

Yep.. online friendships can be very REAL..the way you wrote this steve from the bottom of your heart makes me feel it.. Freida is an amazing person who has stayed strong inspite of everything she had gone through.the love and care you show for her in this poem despite the distance will make her feel proyd.It will does prove this theory of yours.. though the MILES seperate you two- you will be an observer and mourner for her.. An amazing write.You are a friend she will treasure.. xx ;)

The compassion and empathy with which you have written this is truly overwhelming, Steve. On line friendships CAN work. The level of understanding you portray here proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Anniversaries of loved ones' deaths are very difficult. We do taste the salt of tears on those days, but knowing that friends understand and empathsize can go a long way towards making those anniversaries a bit more palpable. It never truly gets easier even though people say it will. The memories are fine, but not being able to hold the person who is gone close or hear his/her voice, well, that is heartbreaking and always will be. I hope Frieda feels the hug you sent her with these words. Written from your heart! Lydi**
