Kurt Philip Behm

Euphues Rules (+1)

Wise and in love,

be there never the day

 

Where reason and passion

—together will lay

 

(The New Room: November, 2021)

 

 

Inside The Moment

 

Keeping it new,

beginning again

clearing my eyes,

avoiding the din

 

Keeping it new,

the present untold

the past but a weight,

the future on hold

 

Keeping it new,

returning at last

to what never leaves,

and never contrasts

 

Keeping it new,

tomorrow on loan

yesterday pawned

—eternity owned

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
