Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Letting You Go

I spend my days
in celibacy unchosen
living the desperation 
we share 

Anguished in the knowledge 
that needing you unbroken   
transcends the sentence 
of this chair

I hear your words, I feel your touch
imprisoned by our love
and wish to free you from this pain
to meet again above 
 
My memory holds each tryst endeared
your beauty most sublime
to relive as I stay in place
—virility confined
