Kurt Philip Behm Poems

To change one word and rock the world,
—a new verse dancing free

Its weight unmeasured and breadth untold,
...

A hemorrhaging madness…
wounds bleeding again

Old stitches have broken
...

Married to his writing,
divorced from carnal love

The bodies flesh a token,
...

We're lucky to have survived each other,
in the aftermath of love

Those promises made as leaves they fell,
...

The gravity of words,
their truth pulls together

A force field of enlightenment
...

Writing Prose,
because I can

And Poetry
...

Can you imagine something
beyond your conception

Can the truth hide from view
...

Truth thrives in contradiction
the difference sharply honed

A neither nor redemption
...

From life's final dissertation,
logic must be barred

A blueprint of our limitations,
...

Thought is meant to provide escape
from what causes it to be

The soul released in contradiction
...
