Kurt Philip Behm Poems

The chorus unleashed
all heavens refrain

The passion released
...

The breastfed future
stripped motherlode

The past untethered
...

No formula or numbers
as Albert had deigned

The greatest of mysteries
...

The book of Solomon
the Temple Mount

The ruler of winds
...

The hands of the thought
grab the tail of the feeling

All letters exploding,
...

It's hard to do the right thing
when fate calls your name out loud

Where not only the bad get punished
...

Sentenced wrongly
imprisoned well

The bars a fortress
...

From the rock of ages
a pebble thrown

A thundering crash
...

The words were muddy
the feelings clear

The blues on fire
...

The great American Songbook
whose words march off the page

Its music now a footnote
...
