Sunday Sound Bites

Kurt Philip Behm

On The Wind

 

Never feeling

more alone

I could taste

the remoteness

As it lingered

on my tongue

Teasing hunger

most tart

 

Never being

more unknown

The detachment

left my senses

As I drifted

on the wind

Like an echo

— in the dark

 

**

 

Ancient Bodies

 

Fixing

what wasn’t broken

My crusade

soldiered on

Past bodies

killed ancient

On battlefields

— long won

 

**

 

Taking My Hand

 

Where does the moon

try to lead me

that orb of reflection

and light

 

Taking my hand

its will to command

time ...

 — the servant of night

 

**

 

New Truth

 

Skirting the line

of wrong and right

Scaling the cliffs

of darkness and light

Climbing upward

not one look down

Perched and waiting

  the truth — unfound

 

**

    Another set of beautiful bites for a Sunday well written my friend

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Kurt, these hit me hard…there’s a thread running through all of them that feels like searching without resolution. Each piece stands on its own, but together they carry that same quiet tension…moving, but never quite arriving. It lingers. Powerful write,. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
