Dance with me Judas,
and go, --where is the passage
that you spoke? Does she stroke
a ego fine with fear, healing nothing
more than the finer arts of sin.

A note that I wrote
only in my head—those letters
now seem to taunt me’
what words did they once speak
for I only have fragments of their lines
what broken heart did take the fall?
which melody if not all are mine,
to wake in the eye of the beholder
and know not what they speak--
and spear the lungs with fashioned
blade’ a soul against a soul.

hush...

Sweet child of mine’
I shall only taste the lasting of my vision
from blanket is worth its many miles there upon
beyond is a world that has fairer opinion
my divinity the aspect of my mind--
such is the burden I carry forth each
say this flesh of material’ what energy
do I hold? Against the stone steps of my life.

Like a piano we have worn many different
hands, circled the world with many strangers;
conversed within the surreal—and all for what?
the fall...?for I have fallen here and now
into shadows.

Impressive, dear Lee. Thought provoking too.

Compassion for ourselves and for those who seem the archetypes of betrayers is a way to find back to inner peace.
