The Reasons Falter (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Do you write the words

or do they write you

 

Are the feelings tattered

or something new

 

Do you speak in tongues

or in muted silence

 

Are the moments sacred

or void of credence

 

Do the questions answer

themselves in time

 

Do the phrases mingle

but never rhyme

 

Do the reasons falter

excuse to reign

 

Do the moments linger

—tomorrow framed

 

(Newtown Square Pennsylvania: April, 2022)

 

 

Giving All

 

Write,

like you don’t need the money

Sing,

like you’ll never be heard

Live,

like the moment is ending

Love,

like a baby’s first word

 

(Dreamsleep: April 2022)

    Dear Kurt,

    • “The Reasons Falter”
    You’ve raised the bar with the great questions you’ve posed. Much to ponder upon. I love the way your poetry challenges its reader to think beyond expectations and not to hesitate.

    • “Giving All”
    I shall give it my all. I will ‘Write’…I will ‘Sing’…I will ‘Live’…and most most of all, I will ‘Love’. Thank you for your continued support and inspiration.
