With Time (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

With time,

 the beginning gets close to the end

 

With time,

 I no longer need to pretend

 

With time,

 the feelings now stand on their own

 

With time,

 the reasons are best left alone

 

With time,

 the music alone mine to play

 

With time,

 the words free to go or to stay

 

With time,
  the memories no longer a wish

 

With time,

 all longing wrapped up in one kiss

 

With time,

 I revisit those things I thought lost

 

With time,

 I re-ember the long winter frost

 

With time,

 I let go of the doubt and the fear

 

With time I embrace

 —as your voice calls me near

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

 

 

Most Often Missed

 

Some things are unknowable as they are,

  and need an alias to come true

 

Some people only known through someone else,

  and you must look hard to see through

 

Not in hiding, but contained within,

  symbiotic they exist

 

To live and die within something else

  —a thing most often missed

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)

 

Wings To My Flight

 

A quarter of a million people

  read my poetry last year

 

Five hundred thousand eyes,

  five hundred thousand ears

 

I write every day with the

  humble knowledge of this

 

 To offer some solace,

   to be never remiss

 

They guide me much more

  than they ever will know

 

To help form the words

  that keep me in tow

 

I feel like I know them

  when I write late at night

 

As they call through the darkness

  —giving wings to my flight

 

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: May, 2019)

        A gem to say the least!

          Kurt,

          • “Wings To My Flight”

          WOW...

          I, as one of your readers, am humbled by this poem. Being a mere grain of sand among the ‘quarter of a million people’ reading your poetry, I (as other readers) am honored of the acknowledgement you have granted us of being part of those ‘wings’ to your ‘flight’!
          I do find solace when I read your work! Your writings are well thought out!

          ‘I feel like I know them
          when I write late at night’

          ‘As they call through the darkness
          —giving wings to my flight’

          As the reader, the feeling is mutual!

          This amazing poem has confirmed the meaning of CONNECTEDNESS!!

          ~Laura~
