Kurt Philip Behm Poems

Immaculate perception
its vision so pure
Beyond all deception
adroitly demurred
...

Wandering in the desert
profanity infused me
Each word like a scorpion
the curses on fire
...

Life is about suffering
—acceptance brings peace

(The New Room: October,2022)
...

A builder of bridges
or defender of borders
An olive branch crossing
or bunkered constraint
...

Blessed is he
—who late becomes young

(Dreamsleep: October,2022)
...

The quietest words
—bring on the storm

(Dreamsleep: October,2022)
...

80/20
20/80
2+2 is 4
...

Come to me Achelous
river without tears
Carry me distant
away from my fears
...

Can God pass judgment
against himself

Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed
...

Do you have five fingers
without a fist

A hope that lingers
...
