Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Present Unwrapped

Present Unwrapped

Plan for tomorrow
live for today
the moment redeeming
 future caches 

Say what you mean
do what you say
the circle enclosing
— truth on display


(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

Palace Rules

No worse enemy
than an ex-friend
No better friend
— than an enemy turned

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024) 




Empty Promises

Caring not much
for what I haven’t seen
Deaf to those voices
still trapped in between

Caring not much
for what I haven’t been
Each promise stays empty
— not kept from within

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024) 



White Buffalo

Can you …
Know
without thinking  
Win
without beating
See
without judging
Cry
without pain
Speak
without stricture
Come
without staying
Wish 
without hoping
Share
without claim
Hear
without language
Curse 
without malice
Hunt
without preying
Rule
without reign
Fly
without plumage 
Dance
without music 
Love
without taking
Die
— without shame

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
