The Nephilm ((Cold Twilight) (A Short heroic Poem))


Twilight was cold (to the bone)
they had warm garmentspelts to
cover their demonic flesh!
(They came in the middle of winter
to the circle of the Raphaim:
came descending from the heavens
the Shinning Ones, the Nephilm.)
Came from the cosmosto put yokes
around the necksof humankind—
humanity's loveliest!To put yokes
around their shadows in the
cold twilight of the night…they
had come to kill Jews to subdue
Jerusalem, to make there woes right.
(Old Giants of oldAngelic renegades;
Watchers from the Heavens.)
When they slept, they restedbeside
a roaring fireand the swirling wind
filled the air with a putrid smell
residue from the whirling particles
of their blood stain skin;
pieces of facesshadows of times past,
all exposed—
all with deepyellowish-red glows.
Eyes like wolves
damned by God
these long enduring rebellious foes
(these giant of old,
with pre-historic souls)
now a gray sea of demonic beasts
were readying to blaze a new path
for history (God’s enemies).
They paced the ground
with sullen roars,
with madness,
for revenge of old woes...
in the cold twilight of winter
these soulless Nephilm.
