Poems from Kurt Philip Behm
Beauty and truth
forever embark
Born of the moment
together apart
To mountains unclimbed
and oceans unsailed
Beyond the horizon
— where...
Sometimes
they reason
sometimes
they don’t
The meaning
implicit
or lost
in the notes
Sonically
free
of all
cogency found
Truth
in...
The eyes
of an eagle
the heart
of a lion
The soul
of a poet
the wealth
of a scion
The pain
of a martyr
the joy
of a smile
The love...
Live in
the jungle
Exist
in the zoo
The cage
all consuming
When captive
... adieu
At risk
in the wild
Or safe
through the glass
All...
Feelings stored
in words
the letters revive
Time rudely
halted
— the moment alive
