Judas Kisses

 

 

Judas Kisses

 

The purple shadows far below

 the silver moon. Play hide and seek

 they quickly come, as quickly go.

Transient and impermanent

 like fleeting kisses on the cheek

 Kisses bestowed with false intent.

 By so called friends who will betray

 your confidence without a thought.

 your cherished secrets give away

 uncaring of the harm they’ve wrought.

A cause to them for merriment.

Kisses bestowed with false intent

a cause to them for merriment.
