Kurt Philip Behm Poems

The past cried out a dire warning
unlocking you from the moment

"History rules, the die is cast
...

I had to push myself away
To get close enough to touch
Embracing the distance as my friend
So the truth could finally breathe
...

I'm now at the point
where I understand time

The ending in sight
...

As time unweaves,
its mask deceives
—to hide a bigger truth
...

Forty-five caliber abstract
targets big and small

Bullseye in the mirror
...

There's a great luxury
in telling the truth

A richness verbatim
...

There once was a time
when you lived on the inside

When you pierced my veneer,
...

The past
is but a memory

The future
...

The other side of sorrow
is joy

The other side of joy
...

Hiding inside the written page,
‘reality' slipped away

Buried inside a meaning deep,
...
