Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

In Solace

In Solace

I live in an aura
of prolonged isolation
On the edge of the city
my hermitage thrives

Alone with my thoughts
the world but an orphan
In solace indentured
— I serve and I thrive

(The New Room: June, 2026)



When Least Expected

Out of left field
or deep in the night
The words come unbidden
as welcome delights

Not knowing the minute
or hour they’re born
They enter my consciousness
raw unadorned

When trying to call them
they often ignore
My summons and pleadings
that knock on their door

But when least expected
their gift a surprise
The breath I’ve been missing
— that keeps me alive

(The New Room: June, 2026)



To Dream

Teach them
to wonder
And teach them
to search
Teach them
to love
As you teach them
— to dream

(The New Room: June, 2026)


Never Let Time

Never let fear
determine
your future

Never let distance
turn you 
away

Never let critics
dissuade 
or discourage

Never let time
with its limits
— betray

(Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
