ENOCH JOHN Poems

When darkness covers the earth
Ans men's hearts fail for fear.
Multitudes of corpses buried under dirt,
And the systems of the earth utterly fail;
...

Draw nigh and hear the secret of the day,
A silent whisper of endearment and promise
Like red roses and the lily of the valley.........
A mist that rises on a hot day
...

Why bloom so soon
Rose of the desert?

Won't you await your season
...

His voice echoed from the great beyond
And the world shook into existence.
He spoke again, and then light came.
...

Oh! Cover me silvery wind
In thy thick cloak of darkness,
That I might hide far away
From this suffering pain and ache.
...

I looked across the great chasm
And saw some things so strange.
He who sat upon a throne
And seraphims around encamped.
...

Eternal thoughts I think,
Housed in splendid earthenware
Among the fields of time.
'Tis be humanity's darkest 'our I hear;
...

Like a spatial Babylonian tower,
towards perspectives of a great celestial Being,
monolithic and nestling with regal poise,
a cryptic monument in the dust of the Nile Delta,
...

after dusk, her eyes alit,
the stars of a silvered cluster which shine
into my being and fragmented soul.
''vouchsafe my love to hold you closer, ''
...

She,
She grew up as a tender plant,
She, Ebony;
She, Baby faced darling, then.
