So Deep It Goes

So deep it goes

 

 

 

Love walks into our lives

masquerading a false bravado,

beseeching us to fall.

 

It withers

when unattended to,

it scars

leaving an indelible impression

like footprints in the snow...

 

so deep it goes.

 

 

Reviews

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

It sinks into the depths of the soul, weighing heavy in the heart, and we find harbor beneath broken wing. So lovely.

[Kelly Scheppers]

So kind of you to say, Linda. Thank you so much for the joy you bring me, today!

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

Is that you I am seeing on the other side of this mirror? For a moment I thought you were looking into my soul. Have I told you lately how deeply your words move me?

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe you've told me time and time again...that's what makes you so dear for so many reasons, Eve. I'm sending my love to you...and Texas!

[Dara]

This poem, like all of your writing, leaves a deep impression on the heart and mind. I often feel, while reading, like I am looking at a beautiful painting for the first time. Few poets can create such vivid images with mere words. This will be a keeper for me!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I appreciate the warmth of your words, Dara. Thank you so much!

Love sings and fades into mere black and white - perhaps in this case: snow white. Kelly, you've always, always found the perfect way to describe imperfection - as you do everything else.

[Kelly Scheppers]

What a wonderful thing to say...thank you, dear Emma!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Strong words and depth of emotion, beautifully expressed. Bleak, stark imagery so on-point. “Love Hurts” and woe the cicatrix. Love this Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Good to see you, Annette...thanks so much!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

And you! You are very welcome Kelly.:)

[Coyote Poetry]

Honest, powerful and true thoughts about love my dear friend. Old song told the truth. The first cut is the deepest and after a time. Accept the bleeding. Thank you Kelly for sharing the amazing poetry.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

indeed you capture the pain in this picture of a poem Kelly. so very apt a description. best wishes from Mauritius.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I simply wanted to write something about the snow. It's coming for many...for me, it's merely a memory! Best of wishes to you, John!

[Ted Kniffen]

So deep it goes...down to those scars...earned or self-inflicted...that we hide away as we search for more...footprints in the snow. Good write, Kelly. Glad you're back.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Ted!

[Einstein Noodle]

Gene!!! It's beginning to actually feel like fall here in California...it got me to thinking about the snow that's ahead, that I actually miss. It's always a good day whenever you are here to make me smile! Many thanks and much love, dear one!

[Einstein Noodle]

ohhhh same to you legs ;) we have a lengthy fall around here in Arkansas .. do not miss any snow :)))

[apennylate]

Masks and false bravery... How deep does the snow go, how powdery deception can be... A heavy-as-a-step poem... Things unattended usually sink through the floor...

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much...good to meet you!

[apennylate]

Pleasure is mine, and you are most welcome...
