Northern Winds Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Northern Winds



Roses bleed
their petals bare
Thorns gone missing
pickings rare

Crimson anguish
garden sown
Season desperate
roots bemoan

Roses bleed
their fragrance spoiled
Lovers search
as stems recoil

Cold breaths gather
northern winds
Seeds of hope
—to plant again

(Radnor Pennsylvania: May,2022)
