Null and Void

Null and Void

 

 

 

the gravity

of your words

weigh upon me

like snow

on redwood trees.

 

you stifle

my resolve

with silence…

a droning hum

that extinguishes

the breath of me.

Ah, yes, I sometimes wish I were more like your protagonist. Life would be so simple not giving a damn about others. ...but damnit, it's just not in me :) ... Good write!

[Kelly Scheppers]

A love that was deceived has a tendency to give your heartbreak a voice. Thank you for hearing mine!

[Dylan Macadham]

... Sadly, I guess heartbreak is something we all have in common.

[Michael Sun Bear]

I love your imagery of snow on redwood trees, the final lines extinguishes the breath of me. Nicely written, thank you.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Michael!

[Cassie]

I relate to this so so deeply. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful poetry

[Kelly Scheppers]

Cassie! How wonderful to see you again. Welcome back, and thank you for the smile!

[Dave W.]

I really liked this, the image of snow and its weight on a redwood makes me think of the little things that build up over time, until one can't take it any more, and then silence being a thing thats silences. what a great poem, I identify with it and would love to be able to write with this kind of brevity. Thank you for sharing.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for the kindness of words, Dave. As for writing, just keep nurturing what's inside you!

written with strong emotions, expressed splendidly. words can be heavy, so could be relationships. a make or a break. It's a thin line that can only be stretched so far till it is untenable. silence is a killer, indeed. wonderful writing, thanks for sharing, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are most kind. Thank you!

...thank you, my friend! My best to you!

[Pete]

ouch - that's heavy. words can lift us up or tear us down. what has been said can't be taken back. best to think carefully before we speak. i guess that's why there are so many judges and lawyers.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thanks, Pete! Watched some of the game last night, and was happy for the Eagles. Now, let's get on with some baseball!

I'd rather have sticks and stones sometimes...words can hurt. Great work, Kelly.
