Kurt Philip Behm Poems

I don't want to be the one who shies away
and loves you less

I don't want to be the one asleep
...

The sum of all possibility,
true nature of our soul

To act upon or take flight from,
...

My door is made of solid bronze
but doesn't have a lock

Patina'd with the stain of blood
...

Memories of the future,
dancing in my head

Recalling what will come to pass,
...

Stealing my dignity in the name of love,
you took back all control

The past and future trading in place,
...

While bending the rules,
and strattling the line
I pushed every limit,
calling it mine
...

Writing outside the body,
in the control room of the mind

The blueprints of our D.N.A.,
...

Locking up a feeling,
its key now mine to own

Flashing back a memory,
...

Only a Tiger will approach a Tiger,
Lions never do

To give him pause and make him think,
...

When you become a victim,
the hunter turns to prey

And the wolves now beckoned
...
