Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Dig Deeper

Dig Deeper

When faced with an issue
cash won’t solve
— you haven’t got enough

********

One Thing

Forever
to question
Rebuking
the answers
In search of
that one thing
Defining
— the ask

********

Every Recall

Memories ...
the only thing
we get to keep
Everything else
with time
retreats
Feelings 
relived
in every recall
To cherish
or learn from
— the large and the small

********

A Dark Capitulation

One year
follows the next
Until death
comes to claim you

Though most 
uninvited
Its presence
commands

A dark
capitulation
You follow 
it downward

Where heat
from the shadows
its fire
— commands

********

Enemies Waiting

No one 
escapes
from violence
unscathed
But no one
of valor
looks off
from the fray
Enemies
waiting
upon
the hard earth
Where living
or dying
to each
— has its worth

***********

Split Screen

Everything
and nothing
together at once

The horizon
keeps moving
—  duality’s myth

*********

Caught On A Tightrope

Campaigning
in poetry
Governing
in prose
A tongue
that’s been forked
Deceit
in the throes

Saying
but one thing
Doing
another
Caught
on a tightrope
Skirting
— forever

*******

Opposites

Just not 
being wrong
will not
make you right

Opposites 
joined
imploding
— on sight

(Dreamsleep: July, 2026)
