---------------------------------/Love's Battle. The Thoughts Of Jesus As He is Kissed By Judas/

We dipped hands in the same bowl
shared the same money – traveled to
the same places. When the sea raged I rescued you,
calming winds, casting demons out too disciplined for your
fledgling faith and paucity of prayer and fasting
They say the most acute pain
comes from the bonds of the greatest strength forged
in vulnerability and honesty, when they are broken;
that those closest to us inflict the most severe pain
because whom you first love is whom tears your soul asunder
when they walk away....forever
from everything good you offered them...into the arms of treachery
(often for inane, thoughtless reasons)
at night you make me stare at the moon
and consider rewriting all the hymns my life has composed
upon reflection you were the one discordant note
compassionately overlooked
the rebel I hoped would reform
but now my there are no stars, no moon to guide my steps
only onyx pastels and black cumulus clouds; the pitch dark
and melancholy writhing
only splayed by torch lights and rugged worn soldiers with spears
ready to fight
but this is the wrong battle


(a battle my broken heart just cant win - we shouldnt be fighting each other)

John 13:27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

Luke 22:20-23 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him." They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

John 13:21 When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

Matthew 26:23 And He answered, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.
