Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

To Guide Me Within

Dreams carry me across
  a mysterious land

Where the voice of my fathers
  so gently commands

It echoes quite softly
  in words only sung

A joyous recital,
  rewoven and spun

I never can stay there,
  I’ve begged till I weep

And with barely a whisper,
  I’m roused from my sleep

But when darkness befalls
  on my world once again

A new dream will come calling
   —to guide me within

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2016) 


The Torch

Not cute or in genre,
  in tune or in tone

A message drives forward,
  the muse casting stones

Untimely, eternal,
  her voice speaking fast

My pen now a torch
  —the darkness is past

(Barnes & Noble-Plymouth Meeting Pa: January, 2016)
