Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Sunday: 5-31-2026

Inflection Point

Musicians
want to be poets
And poets
musicians
Jim Morrison
in Paris
Leonard Cohen
 Montreal

The grass
shining greener
In shadows
elusive
The muses to
whisper
As temptress
— they call

*****

Birth Mother

Comfort
 the enemy
of truth

Prescience
the nemesis
of time

Insight
 the jailer
of denial

Freedom
the birth mother
— of dreams

*****

The Crossroad

An ounce
of freedom
Or a ton
of gold
The choice
is yours
Since times
of old

To sell
your soul
Or set
it free
A Frostian
crossroad
By choice
— decreed

*****

Love On View

Walking 
through the park
Troubles
disembark
Watching
couples swoon
Picnicking
at noon

Every tree 
a refuge
Rowboats
dot the sand
Joy unbridled
love on view
Cupid
— in command

*****

The First Cut

Never complain
never explain

I don’t care if you like it
I only care that you read

Stay undefined
the future unrhymed

The first cut the deepest
— forever to bleed

(The New Room: May, 2026)
