I could just imagine the emptiness in this poem! ,, With the swirl of smoke drifting from the tea as someone sits with it in front of them feeling void, maybe not even drinking the tea but just sitting looking at it. It reminded me of the song " Streets of London" where the man sits " looking at the world over the rim of his teacup..."

Well penned Raj! :D

The image is clear for me but not sure I would call it an image. A space fills with the scent of something familiar and then before you can blink an eye it is gone and the emptiness is back. This is much like the feelings and emotions I have had lately after my husbands death, a word or phrase or scent or picture will trigger a memory and then it is gone as fast as it appeared and only the emptiness remains. Well done.

Awesome, scents like tea or coffee etc can leave the soul feeling empty or sad because of past experiences..this was short and brilliant

I so love this!!!

I love the image of how emptiness speaks. I believe this is true as the silence can say nothing at all but mean so much. Silence can speak for itself. I think you have done well with this and loved it!
