The Betrayal

I’ll take my kisses in a flood Holy with Lust, Hot with Blood. Never, never let it come to this, The cold, cold kiss. Lean closer my sweetness, Feel my passionate heart; Forever together in completeness, Never more to be torn apart. Oh, Jude go not so far away. Persist to Love Till we are Grey! No, no, never let it come to this, One cold traitors’ kiss. Cold are your fingers, Over my passionate heart; For old times’ sake, your hand lingers, Hesitant to make a start. I want all my kisses in a flood Holy with Lust, Warmed with Blood. Oh, oh, never let it come to this, One cold Judas kiss. (1995/2017)

I presume this poem is based on the betrayal of our Lord Jesus by Judas Iscariot. It is an ideal poem for the season(good friday/easter).

Dear Joseph: I did have Judas Iscariot in mind when I named the man Judas. However, the poem is also about heterosexual situations. Affection is God-given and tends to diminish if one partner is planning to leave.
