Spring (+4)

Kurt Philip Behm

Did you not love, as flame the fire,

when springtime came in view

 

Your soul to task, no futures past

—the world again anew

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)

 

 

Renewed

 

Squeezing out a different meaning,

with each new moment passed

 

The choices honed, all time dethroned

—no instant first or last

 

(Mackinac City Michigan: July, 2019)

 

 

Ichiban

 

That cartridge in a sniper’s gun,

true Poets kill with only one

 

The shooters bullet marked by him

one word to kill—what lies within

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

 

 

 

If It's Not One Thing...

 

First it was rain and then it was snow,

if it’s not one thing it’s another

 

Once in the dark and now in the know,

if it’s not one thing it’s another

 

The journey long, the destination obscured,

if it’s not one thing it’s another

 

Redemption the promise, damnation assured

—if it’s not one thing it’s another

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

 

 

Lost Jewels

 

One can be too many,

a hundred not enough

 

When truth battles fear

—all diamonds in the rough

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)

    Kurt,

    Beautiful and inspirational!

    ā€˜ā€”my world again anewā€™

    That is what Iā€™m striving for!
    Whatever is happening,
    will happen...
    that too shall pass!

    Thank you for always inspiring ...

    ~Laura~

    Ah, yes...
    ICHIBAN ā€”ā€˜The Oneā€™

    Tonight I shall revisit
    ā€œThe Sword Of Ichibanā€ and focus on my two favorite characters, Cutty and Adrian !
