Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Who invented the primordial kiss,
who embraced that first hug

Who was the first to say "I Love You"
...

Being more than a woman…
your vision enraptured
making me more than a man
...

I'm now at the point
where I understand time

The ending in sight
...

Married to introspection,
we left for Paris

And with fools and dilettantes
...

My eyes were diverted
my mind taken back

Her presence upon me
...

A voice goes silent
in the distant wind

No tracks to follow
...

If I wanted to show you what I see
I'd be a painter

If I wanted to offer you salvation
...

Learning should be an open meadow
and not a cave to hide

When coupled with experience
...

Writing should be
like making love

If you have to be taught
...

The Citizens danced
Romulus cried

Centurions posed
...
