Kurt Philip Behm

Only A Poet

Only a Poet…

can change feelings into air,

begetting a new feeling

Only a Poet…

can transform thoughts into verse,

birthing a new thought

Only a Poet…

can define the indefinable,

words meaning more than their letters allow

And only a Poet can stab time in the heart,

to bleed free and eternal,

—only a Poet
