Poems from Kurt Philip Behm
Old enough
to be your
Grandfather
Young enough
to be your
Friend
Wise enough
to see your
Greatness
Where time
and tide
— depend
(...
Let’s cut right through
the bombast ...
your camouflage of words
And redefine
the essence ...
of what you’ve never learned
Your double-talk...
Betrothed
to the moment
Estranged from
the future
Present
to marry
All time
— an affaire
(Dreamsleep: April, 2025)
Tempests of
inclemency
Cyclones filled
with pain
Tornadoes come
and go at will
With nothing
to remain
Caught inside
their whirlwind...
Strutting
in place
Message
defaced
Words left
to spew
Bombast
in view
Worshipping
mirrors
Begging
for fame
Image
debasing
Vanity’s
— claim...
