Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

For Wednesday

Caprice

The right moment
at the wrong time
The right rhythm
 with the wrong rhyme 

The verse oft hidden
 between the lines
The Muse abeyant  
— till prescience shines

(The New Room: January, 2026)


In Plain Sight

You can hide
in the open
when you’re
somebody else

No need for
a mask
with your image
indwelt

You can hide
in the open
when nobody
stares

An orphan
in training
whose devils
— may care

(The New Room: January, 2026)


Alone

I hope that
you die
before
the new morn

The night holding
captive
your future
forlorn

I hope that
you choke
on the words
you profane

A prisoner
convicted
alone
— in your pain

(The New Room: January, 2026)


Darkness Calls

Temptation rears
its ugly head
Deception hides
beneath our beds

The Angels
of our nature shunned
As darkness calls
— perdition comes

(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
