Kurt Philip Behm Poems

When feelings stop,
words take over
Emotion harried,
pen unleashed
...

At 11: 05 the torrent came,
its current tainted,
its waters shamed
...

Until your forgiveness
marries your passion
—everything else is lost
...

Life when it's tragic
a forced similarity
Spreading like water
—flooding the plain
...

Do you write the words
or do they write you

Are the feelings tattered
...

Write,
like you don't need the money
Sing,
like you'll never be heard
...

More connected
by dollars than faith
the poor attend the
Universal Church of Poverty
...

The part you transform
is that part you possess
The rest is pure folly
—petals scattered to the wind
...

Wishing in colors
Painting the wind
Singing a fragrance
Sculpting within
...

Is democracy sinking
into feral autocracy
The billionaire elites
with all the control
...
