Kurt Philip Behm Poems

To live on inside the hearts
of those you've loved

Is life
...

Nobody knew me,
and that was my choice

The distance I kept
...

Does your good
outweigh the bad

Is the balance
...

Does loneliness strike when entering a new space,
that we choose, or is chosen for us

Is the isolation a door to where we must go,
...

I buried my memory
in yesterday's sand

To live in the past
...

Would you rather die
than be embarrassed

Rather destitute
...

She wrote into my dreams
the first line of a nightmare

And I can no longer sleep
...

Can you paint without color,
can you think without language

Can you dance without music
...

She followed me downward,
her lips were on fire

From the depths of her lake,
...

The rain stopped
the sun was gone

Mercy was in
...
