Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Until Then

Until you really love someone,
you don’t know what you’ll do

The old rules self-abated,
priorities renewed

Until you really love someone,
you won’t see past yourself

Your life upturned, your role reversed
—your soul to someone else

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)

Daniel Turner February 24, 2020 at 12:32 PM I felt this one. I've seen both sides of love, pain and pleasure. Personally, the pain is heavier far outweighing the pleasure. I've learned not to get too close. Brilliant write, Kurt:) Kurt Philip Behm February 24, 2020 at 12:57 PM I feel you. Sometimes, we're damned when we do AND damned when we don't. Thanks

Line Gauthier February 24, 2020 at 12:10 PM I like where this goes, Kurt. Kurt Philip Behm February 24, 2020 at 12:12 PM Thanks. It's been a sentimental morning.
