HIS JUDAS KISS.

She doesn't know
Which way
To turn;

The horizon's bleak
As the eyes
Of the dead;

And he
Will be back soon
With that awful way

And the words
Pouring out at her
And over her

Like acid rain;
The body blows
Will follow,

The bruises
Will shine
Like well

Polished shoes;
And all she'll have
To show

For a lifetime
Of marriage
And the absence

Of bliss
Is his cruel,
Betraying, Judas kiss.

Photograph of actress Clara Kimball Young. Poem by me & my Muse. The poem is not about Clara but she inspired it.

and the sharing of emotional battery, sometimes through silent indifference: stonewall romanceing, the kiss of death.
