Judas

Betrayal's kiss was liquidly subtle, wet with firm intuition It's knowing lips soft & unassuming exuded an aura of lust Full of temptation it beckoned me portraying illusions of trust, but behind the mask were sharp teeth seeking bloody incisions The intimacy came with bad intentions closely guarding its actions, but being adjacent afforded insight into its deadliest passions My reaction were firewalls to be erected at once, as I stood in the middle of 2 pillars pondering destruction of fronts The aforementioned affront was spoken of to the deepest of mind, but was ignored as toxic venom intoxicated the mind The silver lining? A coined phrase hanging like ropes from a tongue "Make sure that you look before you leap" as more betrayals will come The warning was heeded so I escaped by the skin of my teeth, as the streets watched the intersections speaking of the fate I would meet In the end, I was delivered from the mouth of the beast, emerging with mindset firmly intact I was meat, but indigestible because my peace brought equilibrium back
