Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Your voice called out early
when I needed it most

And you turned me around
...

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

"History rules, the die is cast
...

A novel can be written and detach
from its author
—but poetry can't
...

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
...

Beauty and truth
forever embark
Born of the moment
together apart
...

How will you ever
afford yourself
the cost
beyond your means
...

‘Keeper Of The Kingdom, '
entrusted with the key
Words unlocking blocks of time,
setting moments free
...

The end of all is vanity,
damnation so accused
The mirror speaking falsely
—of promise purple hued
...
