One Vow

Kurt Philip Behm

A mind can love

 an atheist

 

But a soul must wed

 to God

 

Each troth professed

 by self possessed

 

One vow

 —to rise above

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

A Promise Wed

 

The soul is not

 by nature born

 

Or by the earth

  breastfed

 

It kneels before

 loves distant star

 

Whose light

 —its promise wed

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

 

Vanity's Ghost

 

The narcissism

 of small differences…

 

The egos crown

 of thorns

 

The sharper each

 individual barb

 

The more frequently

 it’s worn

 

A grand

 pontification

 

Whose wind

 blows just one way

 

Into the face of

 vanity’s ghost

 

In jealous

 —disarray

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
