Kurt Philip Behm

Betrayed (+1)

Nerve ending fuse,

emotional dynamite

 

The spark of betrayal

—lit by a friend

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)

 

 

Curses Abort

 

The harder I fight,

the stronger they wield

 

The sharper their knives,

the thicker my shield

 

The louder their shouts,

the deeper my scream

 

Reality theirs,

—all time but a dream

 

The moment they chose,

my spirit was gone

 

Their words uninvited,

dead verse to a song

 

That plays a reunion,

a reckoning of sorts

 

Whose lyrics birth silent

—as curses abort
