Royston Allen Poems

My Dorothy, My darling, the love of my life
My lover, my sweetheart and my wonderful wife
More than fifty years my love has blossomed and grown
And she's the most wonderful woman I have known.
...

I praise You Lord, for Spiritual rebirth
that comes from heaven and not from earth.
For opened eyes that upon You to gaze
and for these lips set free to sing Your praise.
...

Where were you when I laid earth's foundation
and stars sang with angels at creation,
when upon the threshold of time and space
I flung the mighty galaxies into place?
...

Burning with fever I lay on the bed
As He touch my hand not a word was said
The fever left and my strength was restored
And once more I arose to serve my Lord
...

High on the mountain top God's voice I heard
And fell to the ground on hearing His word
Terrified by what I had just been through
But You touched me and I saw only You
...

'Am I a rebel' Jesus spoke these words
'That you come to me with your clubs and swords'
Though I was His enemy He showed no fear
'No more of this! ' he said and healed my ear
...

I was deaf and dumb and could hardly talk
But Jesus took me aside for a walk
Then He touched my tongue and my ear
Crying out 'Ephphatha' and I could hear
...

Linear time bounds the limits of our day
as seconds pass in an unstoppable way.
Time moves on in a measurable amount
as we begin to age and each year we count
...

To stand before the great judgement throne
My nakedness exposed and all alone
To watch my life played out before God
Seeing all my deeds and the paths I've trod
...

To the edge of despair worry took me
and the bottomless pit I could see.
Then the awful chasm opened wide
and I felt myself falling inside.
...
