Envy Sits Alone (+8)

Kurt Philip Behm

Death in comparison,

  a covetous dispatch

 

Jealousy reflected,

  its courtiers attack

 

An emperor left naked,

  his crown a vacant throne

 

Jesters flee the castle

   —as envy sits alone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

 

 

Angels To Sing

 

Poetry…

the music of writing

 

Written unspoken

—for Angels to sing

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

 

 

 

Into The Light

 

Long before title,

long before name

 

A wish was granted,

to begin again

 

Legacy ransomed,

escape from the night

 

A voice breaking through

—into the light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016) 

 

 

Betrayals Past

 

Money,

is not as powerful as revenge

 

The Dollar,

can never buy back a vendetta

 

Fury,

cuts sharp into a monetary corpse

 

Bleeding red,

 the green trails of betrayals past

 

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

 

 

A Poem Heaven Loaned

 

The only way to cross eternity

is in a poem

 

As words fly silent and words fly deep,

beyond a future heaven loaned

 

The light speed meteor trails forever

the verses timeless wake

 

Distance not measured in miles or years

—epic ballads to restate

 

 (Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2016)

 

 

Anchored And Whole

 

Drifting off untethered,

until caught by my soul

 

Redirected to providence

—anchored and whole

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

 

 

Eternity's Hymn

 

A song yet unsung,

my prayer in the wind

 

Its blessing assured

—eternity’s hymn

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

 

 

This Moment Now

 

January 1st,

a crescent moon

 

The past crossed over,

the future looms

 

A New Year dawns,

as daylight breaks

 

With wishes fresh,

new oaths to take

 

Feeling lighter,

old burdens gone

 

New lyrics written,

a familiar song

 

The year to bring,

what fates allow

 

As wonder ages

 —in this moment now

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

 

 

Hawks & Doves

 

To the ladies,

my youth

 

To the children,

my love

 

But to forever,

my words

 

Hawks that fly

—with the doves

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

    It wasn't my motivation but your insight is interesting. It could apply
    to all of the political elite!
