Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

Only a Poet

Only a Poet…
  can change feelings into air,
  begetting a new feeling

Only a Poet…
  can transform thoughts into verse,
  birthing a new thought

Only a Poet…
  can define the indefinable,
  words meaning more than their letters allow

And only a Poet can stab time in the heart,
  to bleed free and eternal,
   —only a Poet

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
