Poems from Kurt Philip Behm
Is it in the heart
Or in the eyes
For all you see
To then despise
Is it anger first
Or love at last
Can you judge the future
By the past...
What determines genius…
an endowment or a choice
Is there destiny in all of us,
waiting for a voice
Is to reject your epiphany,
most...
Do your lies hold as hostage,
every truth you never told
Has your heart become a stranger,
to the wishes it unfolds
Is your past if...
Your lies much more exciting,
than any truth you never told
Stolen moments of pure delight,
the future your cuckold
Touch betrays what...
The threshold of lies
is hearsay
The jailer and killer
—of truth
