Kurt Philip Behm

Memory Of Grand Teton (+2)

Touching beauty

if just for an instant

if caught by its magic

— if only just once

 

(Moran Junction Wyoming: August, 2021)

 

 

 

Sword In The Stone

 

One choice and circumstance

set us apart

Forever divergent

forever two hearts

 

One lasting reminder

of what can’t be fixed

The eggshells lay scattered

the pieces all nixed

 

In less than an instant

the future was charred 

Most scarlet of letters

forgiveness stays barred

 

And now to requestion

the maybe’s and why’s

The Stone of Excalibur

— an easier try

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Keats Was Right

 

Poet’s see beyond the cosmos

that’s why they’re revered

Poet’s leave the final time zone

past and future cleared

Poet’s bow to one volition

high above the clouds

Poet’s live in love’s reflection

— beauty to enshroud
