Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Lost Verses

More honor 
in shame
than ever
 false glory

The larceny
of time
cleft moments
abscond

Passion 
 untitled
prescience
but memory

Pandering
fantasies
prevaricate
long

Lost verses
of blood
all pain
in their letting

Remembrance
a shadow
of days
underserved

Redemption
a silence
that screams
in our absence

Placating 
our fear
when the Sirens
— are heard

(The New Room: February, 2026)
