Rotor Blades That Kill (+4)

Kurt Philip Behm

We never safeguard our progeny

 by overprotecting our kids

 

The blankets that we spread

 and fences we build

 

Imprison,

 rather than defend

 

Ensuring weaker and hapless offspring

 —inside a diminished and helpless world

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Miami Heat

 

The sand was hot,

  as she came up behind me singing…

 

 “You put the ‘Man’

    back in Romance

               

  “And I’ll put the ‘Lay’

     back in Lady”

 

(Miami Beach Florida: May, 1982)

 

 

Facing The Fire

 

"A Man’s true spirit can only be forged and replenished

    —in the fire of the unknown"

 

(Last Line Of Chapter 18 In My Novel ‘Revenge Along The War Trail')

                          …. Published Sept 1, 2016 

 

 

 

Vita—Et Alia

 

If all there is…

 —is all there is

 

  (then)

 

All you can do…

 —is all you can do

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

     Listening to James Ladyman 

 

 

Into The Light

 

I stare back from the last horizon,

 and scientists look bemused

 

Theologians prey among themselves,

 mystics stay confused

 

Once through the light Divining

 no beginnings or their ends

 

All truth transcending within itself

 —as time and space descend

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

    Kurt,

    Super poems...
    each and every one of them!

    I will begin with my favorite...

    • “Facing The Fire”
    It is my favorite because of my admiration and love for one of my favorite characters in your novel...CUTTY!
    He is a warrior; and warriors need to be at war!
    ‘He was once again at peace...
    A Peace Only Proffered In Times Of War’!

    • “Rotor Blades That Kill”
    I totally agree with the message conveyed in this poem!

    ‘The blanket that we spread
    and fences we build

    Imprison,
    rather than defend’

    ...so, so true!

    • “Miami Heat”
    Well...this one is hot, hot, hot...
    It’s on🔥🔥 🔥!

    • “Vita—Et Alia”
    Et quod vita

    • “Into The Light”
    An insightful poem
    by the one and only...
