Kurt Philip Behm Poems

The Poetry of time
its present sublime
Each moment by degree
untethered reminds
...

He who cannot lie
—will never know the truth

(Dreamsleep: October,2022)
...

His passion undefeated,
his record 10-0

All shutouts in the making
...

If you can't stand the criticism
put down your pen
Instead take up knitting
but caution the thread
...

Older than you were
younger than I am
Your memory grows inside me
keeper of the flame
...

The only thing worth being
—is in awe

(Dreamsleep: October,2022)
...

Causality before truth
truth before causation
Universal in transference
inextricably defined
...

Filled up again
words pour out
Empty no longer
they whisper and shout
...

What would fame bring
what would it change
One iota of truth
the stoppage of rain
...

The deeper you dig
the simpler it gets
Each question supplanted
—the truth in your debt
...
