Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Time's Hostage

A new 
beginning

An older 
end

Which way
to enter

To Break
or bend

From start
to finish

Who gets
to choose

What time
holds hostage

To win
— or lose

********


Without Care

Women
can love
in an instant

But men
only able
at times

Women 
get lost
in the daydream

Where men
stay aloof
undefined

Women
hold onto
each moment

A man
throws away
without care

Women will
question
those feelings

That men
so evade
— au contraire

********

Passions Shower

Art 
is the wayward
sister
of sex

The
wellspring
of creative
power

Paying
its dues
to what lust 
behooves

Planting
 those seeds
only
— passion can shower

********


Spark And Fury

Daring you
to think
Asking you
to wonder
Step outside
your comfort zone
Meet me
in the thunder

All the trees
majestic
The sky bright
crimson red
Where voices that
your birth set free
Call out to you
again

Your home 
where spark and fury
ignite the fire
inside
And welcomed back
you’ll not return
To where excuses
— hide

********


Your Fate

When you incorporate
with the devil
A junior partner
is all you’ll be
The I.P.O. seals
your fate forever
Your soul 
 — no longer free

(The New Room: June, 2026)
