Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Loneliness visits
when stranded alone
Confirming the emptiness
—lost to bemoan
...

Rest assured in the knowledge you are
—without having to know why

(Dreansleep: May,2022)
...

When death sent out its calling card
the heavens came in view
Psalms to reach the Angel's ears
one voice had broken through
...

How do you play a melody
deep inside the words
to sing each letter off the page
and free them like a bird
...

Staring defiant
into the blind eye of fate
the winds of circumstance
early not late
...

I deleted another poem tonight
and the Muse raged into fury
"You never asked for my permission" she said,
as her voice thundered deeply inside
...

Tuning letters like strings
the words are reformed
The rhyme and the meter
the rhythm reborn
...

I looked at you a thousand times
before I saw you once
You never did look back at me
my vision sorely trumped
...

Rhyme
to mask the message
Rhythm
to drive it home
...

A proprietary hold on God,
religion does proclaim

Defining what we know inside
...
