Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Nature resplendent
fog settling down

Darkness retreating
...

Of Singular Importance

The clarity of your words,
the purity of your heart
...

Do you think you're Heaven worthy
for myself—I never have

The weight I carry pulls me down
...

Does weaponizing a stolen truth
give you the right to lie

From this perverted use of power
...

I meet with three faces
that come in the night
In dreams that preplace
masks of darkness and light
...

In a virtual reality
I found my father

Though he died before the internet
...

If ignorance is truly bliss,
and the Emperor has new clothes

Then who am I to judge at all
...

Is there a balance
Between poetry and prose
Anymore than a balance
between these and those
...

Never Act

Be what you are
just don't act like it
...

You say you went childless,
so where are your riches?

All wrapped up in numbers
...
