Kurt Philip Behm Mar 10

The most constant romance
the one with yourself
The most lasting friendship
the mirror defines
The most sacred promise
only yours to break
The most valued feelings
— your treasure inside

(The New Room: February, 2025)

May December

Star-crossed by the years
a cuckhold of fate ...
I made love to you
in the copulate verses
of another time
— and another life

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Affirmation

The day you
discover
that it’s you
who makes it all right
Is the day you
uncover
what destiny holds true
— and prophecy foretold

(Villanova University: March, 2025)

Into The Mystic

What is love
if not an out of body
experience

Proving the dualist
philosophers right
— and the poet’s words set free

(The New Room: March, 2025)

Kurt Philip Behm Mar 7

Soothing The Savage Beast

What creates a mood
better than music
A tonic to fill
the empty spaces
and writer’s block

What transports the words
better than music
As Elton, Paul
and Cole have shown
— its gift to reign supreme

(The New Room: March, 2025)

To Hell And Back

The hardest stones
cannot withstand
— what only men endure

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

A Sculptor Muses ...

Never to discover
the limits of soul
Such is the depth
of its station

The nature of being
not what’s distilled
But what’s left
— from evaporation

(Septa R5: March, 2025)
