Oh Juliet

Kurt Philip Behm

Loving you

with all my heart

the distance creeping in

 

With each tryst

creating space

your vision growing thin

 

The more I try

to hold you close

the more you slip away

 

Until I’m left

alone again

— in passion’s yesterday

    This is a wonderful write, Kurt. This is lyrical and heartbreakingly beautiful. Well done. Faved! 🌹👏

      Thanks Tristan, very kind. My son spells his name, Trystan. I named him after
      the famous Knight from the Round Table.

        You are welcome. Awesome! Indeed, I love the tale of Tristan and Isolde. Glad to share a name with your son and that famous Knight. 😊
