Her eyes how they talk
While her mouth
Wise but sometimes wary
Her moods striking in contrast
Or contrary
Calm, volitile
Another side hiding
Different than what you’d seen
Just not as keen to be seen
In her voice , her sound
Her words
Profound
True and raw
Sharing of what she felt and saw
Her way of her life reckonin
Meanwhile all along
In silence
But aware
Quite there
Smiling Laughter From Within…

She started in a cocoon
Then when time had come
She emerged
Winged and anxious to fly
Soar at her pace
Conquered some demons
Intelligent never dumb
Flutter, flutter
Go as you please
Your song you sing
Never simple
Not even with ease
Kinda cryptic
And then in yer face
She spewed from within her
What was on her mind
Of the time
Situation, place
You listen to her
Truly your choice
Unique
Butterfly Voice…

There’s a place on the Internet – the online-forum dedicated to Amy. It’s a quite long-liver: being founded back in the 2007’th by Clare, the forum has accumulated hundreds of thousands of posts, where you can find absolutely everything: interviews, articles, videos, useful links and so on. It’s a great source of information for all Amy’s fans over the world and, of course, the forum still keeps being updated by members. Owing to an odd coincidence I happen to work as an administrator of this forum since the middle of the last year and I have to admit I’m happy to know I’m doing something in Amy’s memory. For me it’s not just an online-forum where some fans are conversating to each other, because I consider it as a true “Amy-Place” – just not in London, but on the Internet.
I’m happy to look after it and to make some improvements when I can, as that’s something I can do to render my gratitude to Amy. That’s why I would be very glad to spend much more time developing it. Alas, the time is limited and nowadays I have to solve other issues. Living in Ukraine takes lot of time & efforts to run your IT-business when crazy Russian czar (yeah, Putin is such a “khuilo”!) tries to make war (and maybe some perverted kind of love) to you and your country. So, I have to spend a lot of time working hard and when I’m not working, I’m spending my time playing music (thanks to Amy!). And now I’ve got used to play on streets, and, damn, I love to do that – not for money, just for joy. So, yes, the time is fast.
And that’s why I’m so grateful to my colleagues – Cecilia and Amy Jenna Harper, who are doing so much for our forum. We’ve migrated to the new software (IP.Board is so much better than our old vBulletin), we made a bunch of improvements (some members are even quite happy with them). Cee has accepted to take on the mantle of an administrator, she’s managing the board and AJH is shooting off spammers. Obviously I’m not going come to come off, as I love this place, but I’ll be really glad to observe our reborning forum blossoms in good hands. 🙂
This place is really great, guys, and maybe you’ll join it and love it too. So, welcome all Amy-People to the old good (& the new great) Amy Winehouse Forum at www.amywinehouseforum.co.uk!
It was a really nice trip. This time we stayed in London a bit longer than in September – we’ve spent a whole 10 days in this beautiful city. I won’t post too many pictures, because you all have seen views of Camden Town a lot of times, but I’d like to share a couple of most memorable shots.
We printed a card for Amy and brought it to her house on Camden Square. It was in the first night of our stay in London.
We met up with Janis Winehouse and presented her similar card and a red handmade horse from Ukraine. It was a very pleasant to have a nice conversation with Amy’s mum.
Yesterday we returned to Kiev – a city where we live and work, but we are looking forward to visit London again. Probably in April. 🙂
P.S. And, of course, we couldn’t bring anything from Camden Town to Kiev. So, now the door to the meeting room in our office looks much better now. Well, it’s pretty logical, taking into consideration Amy’s portrait inside. 🙂
