Bleeding heart, blinding sun,
Fleeting art, mind undone.
Internal prattle, cumbersome,
Eternal battles to overcome.
Shaky hands presumed a tale,
Of forsaken plans foredoomed to fail.
Reverberating, uncertain shouts,
Illuminating those hurtful doubts.  
A soul misplaced, fragile, fraught,
A goal once chased with agile thought.
Pursued the picture to yield the prize,
Who knew the scripture was filled with lies?
Kept the scars to quell his worth,
Leapt to stars and fell to earth.
Conflated pride and forespoken schemes
Became fate denied with broken dreams.
Kurt Philip Behm Jan 2017
Who speaks to you sincerely,
  who calls your name out loud

Who plates your image clearly,
  and picks you from the crowd

Who tends your words forespoken,
  as you wander near and far

Who waits for you rewoken,
—just beyond the nearest star

Who speaks to you sincerely,

Who plates your image clearly,
and picks you from the crowd

Who tends your words forespoken,
as you wander near and far

Who waits for you rewoken
