Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
When you subsidize
my excess
You underwrite
my greed
Each payment made
my hunger craves
And gluttoned passion
— needs

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
Competition ...
what keeps us alive
Sharpening our edges
fueling our drive

Setting new benchmarks
pushing the bar
Forever defining
— just who we are

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
Are you the CEO
of your passion
the chief of your desires

Are you the captain
of your intention
the master of what inspires

Are you the owner
of your discovery
the clearing in the fog

Are you the light
of your reflection
— a servant before God

(The New Room: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
As hedonists dally
to never explain
The greatest pleasure
— the absence of pain

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed

Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random
—abandon of time

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
Kneeling
in a confessional
of words
forgiveness wouldn’t come
Absolution
undefined
where beats
— the silent drum

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Kurt Philip Behm Dec 2024
Is the Oracle wise
the Buddha fat
or the Great
Niagara wet
Description wanes
where titan’s reign
as words are left
to falter
And blow upwind
against the grain
in messages
— sublime

(The New Room: December, 2024)
