My Destiny Within (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

I bent my will into the wind,

a final last rebuttal

 

And felt it rage against my soul,

in anger that was total

 

I pressed again, and then again,

and waited for an answer

 

It blew back hard, and harder still,

its force a rabid dancer

 

One last time I pushed it back,

its vortex caving in

 

Whose fury split in breezes tamed

—my destiny within

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

 

 

Trapped Within Myself

 

With words to seal my coffin shut,

I said my last goodbye

 

To journey down and re-reflect,

on what I said, and why

 

It’s quiet in my earthen grave,

no light to mark the time

 

My flesh to rot with bones exposed

—finality unrhymed

 

(Villanova University: January, 2020)

 

 

 Excommunicado

 

Death to ethical morality…

 —the secularization of the truth

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

 

 

Politice Rectam

 

Married to correctness,

divorced from the ideal

 

The truth becomes enigma,

veracity to steal

 

Facts bury in self interest,

the cheaters run and hide

 

All trysts a fated exercise

—philandering with lies

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
