Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Your Swinging Door

I answered with love,
you questioned 
with anger and pain

I held you close,
but your eyes
failed me again

I told you truly,
as my wishes
dropped to the floor

Your smile my captor,
my heart
  —your swinging door

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
