Judas Poems - Poems about Judas

It was not the curse that made him leave, but the silence in the eyes of the Beloved. There, in the moment when the wine turned too red, and the bread lost the taste of forgiveness, Judas understood that God cannot be bought but can be sold. Thirty pieces of silver, heavy as a mother’s silence after her son’s death, cold as the hand...

Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah Doom, accursed echos held in a miasmic gloom Suffering and hatred, the vendetta against light For mortals, war of heaven and hell eternal fight Mirrors mask, broken oath Spectral unfathomable sweeping storm of despair Substitute love, seditiously sordid affair Sea of plague, swell of bodies Past days gone, beautiful and fair Cry for help, why even care? Poe-naaaaah...

Unlike Adam, Satan was not made from clay One day, he chose to go his own way He appeared to Judas with very little to say Not even to say, 'Hey' Nor did he come to play Not even for a day He did not come to pray But only to create disarray Could Judas have said. 'Nay'? Or was it too cloudy...

POEMS ABOUT SAINTS AND SINNERS Of Seabound Saints and Promised Lands by Michael R. Burch Judas sat on a wretched rock, his head still sore from Satan’s gnawing. Saint Brendan’s curragh caught his eye, wildly geeing and hawing. "I’m on parole from Hell today!," Pale Judas cried from his lonely perch. "You’ve fasted forty days, good Saint! Let this rock by my church, my baptismal,...

An anti-resolvent-fume- of-infest-chokes-out-integral-yield of humanity. Thick as molasses, blackstrap morass of emnity. Blight is apathy, and apathy is blight. A Void, a claim farming the abyss. Marketing it's lie, on sale. Though it has a monopoly. PolyEntropy. In the garden of life; an empty field of dreams, lays unintended on its side, untended save for...

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...

Faceless head of coal Below him arms swing legs steam Over the apex of a highway bridge The spooky figure Cross-country skis on the concrete Glides right to left across the frost of my windshield Aura of sky behind this silhouette An April rust under the rain of sunrise I approach closer Hope Its face will unveil the diamonds of another person To see its eyes...

I looked back to when time had its first bloodstain, Before the ringing of the first bell; When grace was pouring like rain; When envy first unleashed its spell; And Cain murdered his brother Abel. It was a time remembered so well, The wickedness of man unleashed the first hell; Even the healing effects of time...

I've called you here to break with me this bread, to drink sweet wine and eat of peppered cod None here a servant, each a friend, instead Find on this board the boundless love of God Come! Sit beside me now and eat thy fill, while I wash from thy feet the earth you've trod Though most here are intended...

I She said, "I had no time for death: Why did Creation give me lungs - two?" I wonder about immortality, do you? Yet I ponder, how quickly we wish for death At 122, we outlive family, stare at lying TV? II I have died a hundred times Without folly or courage to take my life Do thoughts of suicide come with strife? I am...

The wind blew constantly, Judas felt cold, cold outside, cold inside. He had betrayed his love. Could he make atonement? Show some self respect? Will love find out how deep his guilt was? Must he despair? He was truly lost. He sat down against an olive tree A rotten fruit fell. His despair increased. The Bible never mentioned what fruit Adam and Eve ate. Certainly...
