Blood Stains (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Compelled to fight dirty,

in attempts to stay clean

The shadows conscripted,

clandestine and mean

Surprise as an ally,

you stalk and you spy

To vanquish the monster

—declawed and defied

 

(Villanova Chapel: December, 2021)

 

 

Medium Vitae

 

What is the value

of faith without doubt

Love without hatred,

peace without routs

 

What is the meaning

of joy without pain

Words without silence,

sun without rain

 

Into the middle

both sides fall within

Dimension redundant,

all endings begin

 

The yin and the yang

the long and the short

When hands clasp together

—right left to import

 

(The New Room: December, 2021)

    Kurt,

    ‘What is the value
    of faith without doubt’…indeed!

    The deeper the doubts,
    the deeper the faith.

    Two great reads to fulfill
    part of my day.

    Thank you for sharing your poems.

    'What is the value
    of faith, without doubt'
    Amen!
    (those too scared to question
    exist, peeking at life
    rather than witnessing
    and experiencing it, outright')
    some great lines, thanks for sharing Kurt

      Kurt
