Three words and thirty coins (Free verse) by Caducus
Three words
fell from her lips
like thirty Judas coins.
In her kiss
Lazarus was raised;
in Christâs Vineyard
swarms of locusts
spewed their plague;
over our chaliced embrace.
I kissed her eyes closed.
Paying the Godâs a poor manâs orb
As Sun shone on the dulled.
âDoes God see usâ?
asking her in knowing stares,
âmy life's began againâ
telling her with closed eyes,
and I knew I was loved
when we fell like horizons
hearing our love in lark cries.
Three words spoken
raised me from the dead.
Betrayal is fear,
And I have kissed
The blonde saviour;
Rolling in Hampsteadâs glade
As Judas tried to watch
eyes rolling backwards
mooned silver;
his life spent,
sovereign eyed.
As I became alive from her love.
