Haunting Words

Kurt Philip Behm

All he had

was his longing

and he shared it

with no one

The years

a cruel mistress

that haunted

him so

 

All he had

was a fever

brought on

with the darkness

His memories

a warden

in a prison

alone

 

As he sat

in the twilight

he wondered

and waited

For something

still missing

he’d lost

in the past

 

As he looked

at her picture

the frame bent

and broken

He uttered

those words

his heart

— never asked

    A wonderful line in a poem so well written. Loved this piece and could feel it as well making it art in my book.
