All I Ask (+7)

Kurt Philip Behm

Everything...

 is all I ask

 

In all you say

 —and all you do

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

At The End

 

The truth redeemed,

The past reclaimed

   —within your final hour

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Bricks & Mortar

 

Intermingled,

 but not together

 

In your presence,

 but still alone

 

Hearing your words,

 but not your meaning

 

Leaving your house

 —so far from home

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Wishing

 

Wishing I hadn’t,

 wishing I could

 

Going through the motions

 —of love

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

The Cusp

 

The prelude to a wish,

 all time conspired

 

Eternity on call

 —the night on fire

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Time's Prison

 

If you call out loudly,

 the past will find you

 

The pain but a looking glass,

  all time a shroud

 

As memory surrounds,

 its prison reopens

 

Chaining the present

 —locking the future down

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Crossing Over

 

Memory is a river,

 bound for the sea

 

One waterfall to cross

 —death’s waters to free

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

 

Still Unborn

 

How dependent are we on language,

 for the expansion of our minds

 

Each word a crucial building block,

 an archetype sublime

 

Can we think outside our diction,

 would our thoughts release and form

 

Or would truth and beauty, right and wrong

 —lay dormant still unborn

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
