Silence Distills (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

Writing the lines,

one word remains absent

 

To give the verse promise,

new voices to fill

 

Speaking my heart,

I pause before ending

 

Taking a breath

—as the silence distills

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Death Calls

 

The gallows were offered,

guillotine chosen

 

Executioner a matter

of choice

 

The sinner repentant,

evil now lessened

 

Death calls

—in a welcoming voice

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Muted & Gone

 

Dying alone,

a forgotten song

 

Last lyric unsung

—muted and gone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Love's Toll

 

The shortcut to a heart’s desire,

where roads and feelings cross

 

Destiny maps, direction on fire

—love’s toll the only cost

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
