Increasing The Weight (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

Poetry…

barbell of the written word

 

Resistance exercise

—for the status-quo

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

The Wolf Unleashed

 

I don’t have to slay the dark,

my verse—the wolf unleashed

 

I don’t have to court the devil,

my words a sword unsheathed

 

I can live beneath the sun,

or in hurricanes of fright

 

To sleep beneath a crescent moon

—my poetry to fight

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Epiphanous Light

 

Poetry travels

where Prose cannot go

 

To sleep with the stars,

by heaven aglow

 

Each new verse a planet,

orbiting round

 

An Epiphanous light

—burning profound

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Fraternal Melee

 

Christians killing Christians,

politics trumping God

 

The Axis dared, the Allies fared

—shared lineage facade

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

    Kurt,

    Your metaphorically rich writes are a delight to read!
    I especially favor
    “Epiphanous Light”!

    ‘To sleep with the stars,
    by heaven aglow’...

    What a vision!!

    ~Laura~
