Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Evolution changes
the mind of man

All insight martyred
...

Poetic angst,
Jimmy Dean

Poetic angst,
...

To be anything more
than what it is
To be anything more
than who you are
...

Indelible the writing…
each theme enslaves the words
The weight placed squarely on their backs
to bear the message heard
...

There's a voice that hides
with message plain
"IT STILL IS NOT ENOUGH"
...

A minute to make a moment
the instant to endear
A vow to make a marriage
more committed year to year
...

Reports…
cold facts on paper
Truth
unto itself
...

Grand Canyon darkness—city nights,
towering votives in wingless flight
Elevator to the desperate peak,
ninety-nine floors above the waiting street
...

Deception of reflection,
each mirror so enthralls
Calling in our timeless hope,
frozen in its pall
...

I remember the smell of beer
going down the back steps
The keg under the dartboard
the men in long sleeves
...
