2 kisses

“Betrayal is a two-edged sword shielded by known friends
 and wielded by unknown enemies.”―cab

the kiss of death
the kiss of life
one fouls the breath
one balms the strife

for judas kissed His face
but mary kissed His feet
a traitor’s bold disgrace
a waiter’s priceless treat

proud evil looked Him in the eyes
and paved the way for His demise
humility esteemed the King
whose brokenness new life would bring
