      What Becomes.....

      What becomes of the eyeswhen you linger still?What becomes of the dancewhen you surrender your will? What becomes of the thunderwhen you want to feel the rain?What becomes of pleasurewhen you sing through the pain? What becomes of icewhen you're addicted...

      • You already know I adore this one. The questions land with such clean force, and the cadence pulls me back for another read every time.

        I stand by my original comment when I read it the first few times…

        “Your questions move like a quiet tide… each one brushing against the edge of longing, change, and the places where certainty slips. There’s a beautiful ache in how you hold opposites together: stillness and motion, fire and ice, surrender and will. It feels like a search for the moment where tension becomes truth, where the self finally meets itself without flinching. I love the way each line leans into that threshold. It lingers with me.” -Curly Grace (Writers Cafe)

      • Crimson, your poem reads much of laden sadness and reluctance. Love sometimes becomes distorted and misrepresented in relationships when love, respect, integrity and honesty is not reciprocated.

        • it’s true those are vital to a healthy relationship thank you graciously ❤️

      • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

      • I can sense a shattered emotional connection.

        Decaying miserably, upon disrepair.

        Healing is what matters the most going forward. x

      • Powerfully penned, Brandon. Excellent write that really packs a hell of a punch my friend. This world is frustrating indeed. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Well, they will see only what they want. If you are not part of the equation, then you must be removed. this is something that is insightful and I appreciate that you did not lead the writer on what you meant it to be.

      • Brandon, this one hit’s hard in all the right ways. The questions linger, and the honesty carries. Worth a second read, as always with your work.

      • Powerfully penned, Brandon. That’s an amazing write for anyone, makes it that much more impressive at 16 years old my friend. I still I have my first notebook as well, have never posted them though. Welcome to Stars Rite! Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Damian,
        Beyond humbled by all your comments. Happy to be here!

      • You wrote this at 16? What a deep thought. What a wonderful beginning. Welcome to Stars Rite Brandon;)

      • Thank you! You made me smile this morning.

      • There’s a raw, searching honesty in this. you can feel the questions shaping the voice that would come later. The repetition of the dark works like a pulse, steady and human. A strong beginning, and you can already see the spark you kept.

        P.S. I’m so glad you broke out that notebook my friend.
