Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Dreams Undreamed

Dreams Undreamed

If you never write
another word
will what’s written
be enough

If you never speak
another rhyme
will your Muse
in silence rust

If you never hear
another’s plea 
will you bear
the selfish cost

If you never feel
another’s pain
will your dreams undreamed
— be lost

********

Aces & Eights

Luck is for losers
 wish as wish may
Winds of your folly
— keep fortune at bay

********

This Instant

Stop waiting for your
just reward
the gift has come 
today

Not past or future
but wrapped
inside
this moment on display

Freeing you from
reference
and statutes
that define

Presenting you
in every way
this instant
— most sublime

********

A Freer Time

Voting against ...
no longer for
Our ballots
cast in vain

The product of
a system rigged
What’s left
in hope’s disdain

Our heroes locked
 inside death row
Their skeletons
remain

The remnants
of a freer time
Elections
— forcing change

(The New Room: June, 2026)
