Clive Blake Poems

What a great reptile,
A Royal Python - no less,
A serpent so dapper;
Never seen in a mess,

God's Light split,
Laying bare its constituent parts,

Then melt, like snow.

Jesus died,
Jesus laughed, and
Jesus cried.

Is so truly meant,
Let your love be the stone,
This blessing - the cement.

My heart was very battered,
It was also broken,
It had endured so, so, much,
Of which I haven't spoken.
