Raison D' (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

Dimension,

Stretching itself

Reaching the unknown

Feeling what can’t be felt

Unnumbered

Not counted or named

Para-atomic

Time abandoned

Intention free

Returning without

Returning within,

Dimension

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Nulla Universitas

 

Behind ivy thoughts and mortared speech,

my soul cannot be bought

 

As I worship freely deep within

—the truth forever caught

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

 

Wisdom's Tooth

 

A young poet is to an

older man

 

As an old poet is to a

younger man

 

When young then old,

when old then young

 

The future borrowed,

the past twice sung

 

The old man’s knowledge,

the young man’s youth

 

To bite the deepest

—with wisdom’s tooth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

Damnation Refound

 

A Mississippi back road,

burns in my mind

 

Its memory twice buried,

resurfaces, reminds

 

That Mississippi back road,

you once led me down

 

Perdition, destruction

—damnation refound

    Kurt,

    Tutte veritĆ !
    All truths my dear sagacious Poet!!

    My favorite, so far,...
    ā€¢ ā€œNulla Universitasā€
    This one made me think of a Harvard graduate I know very well...
    and the conversations we have are something else!šŸ˜ž

      I can only imagine... "Another Den Of Intellectual Iniquity'

      • LaurašŸŒ»

        Yes, indeed!

        • LaurašŸŒ»

          On a different note...
          thereā€™s that word again...
          ā€˜imagineā€™!
          Yesterday, I stopped by
          Strawberry Fields...
          sat on one of the benches
          and there it was...
          the ā€œIMAGINE CIRCLEā€!
          I stared at it for a while...
          and voilĆ ...
          I had an epiphany moment!

            "Living is easy with eyes closed..."

            • LaurašŸŒ»

              Actually my eyes were ā€œwide openā€ during my epiphany moment! Details to follow!šŸ˜Š

              • Kurt Philip Behm

                They're words from the song, but I was
                referring to your Harvard friend.

                • LaurašŸŒ»

                  I did understand the Beatles song reference;
                  but, the reference about my eyes being ā€œwide openā€ during my epiphany moment has to do with Cutty! I have an amazing idea!
