Portrait Of The Artist As An Old Man (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

What once held me captive,

now sets me free

 

My wanderlust blowing away

 

The clouds and horizon,

that buttressed my world

 

Meld, as the night into day

 

Those words never chosen,

survive on their own

 

Verses dry, all wings taking flight

 

What used to confound me,

present, future, and past

 

Joined as one—in a fusion of light

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)

 

 

In Conflict

 

Intellectual emotion,

emotional logic

 

Distinct, or one and the same

 

The mind seeks control,

the spirit rebels

 

In conflict—prescience regained

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

 

 

The Devil's Betrothal

 

Without hope,

condemned to desire

 

Without dreams

—all courtship is death

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)

    From light we come and shall return everything in one ... what we were teaches us who we are 🌹
