Kurt Philip Behm Poems

The deeper you care
the more remote you become

What the present reveals
...

The light burns brightest
at journeys end

"Radiant Epiphany
...

We worship inside the dark rapture
of our own becoming

Hiding from the very light
...

Only one thing calls out to heart, body,
and mind

Causing seas to part—where yourself you will
...

Choking on its wealth…
America now suffers
The Acid Reflux
Of a life at ease
...

True Worth

An ounce of experience
—is worth a thousand pounds of why
...

His spirit denounced
his body on fire

His words rechristened
...

No more book fairs or tours
no autographs signed

My words are my gift
...

I lose myself over and over
before finding my way again

Promises surely I will break
...

Music…
drowning the words
in false harmony
...
