Royston Allen Poems

It came as a great shock
for I was in the dock
standing all alone
before the judgement throne.
...

TIME passes. Not in incremental stages
but flows continuously through the ages
making history of each fleeting moment
and brings the future into the present.
...

I see a lamb that's been led to the slaughter
I see a sacrifice laid upon an alter
I see a man suffering there for me
impaled by nails upon a rugged tree
...

In the springtime our love blossomed and grew
each day filled with wonder and each year new.
I'm still yours my beloved and you're mine,
‘though we've drunk the last of summers wine.
...

When the clock stops ticking
and my heart stops beating:
Then heaven's door shall open wide for me
and forever with Jesus I shall be.
...

'Before you go, I'll have you know,
that the Lord has said to me
Psalm 91, is just the one,
so read it and you will see.'
...

Another flag flew high, over the blue sky,
where the Japanese fortress lay
As they drove their tank, through each festival rank,
the fans scattered and ran away.
...

The next morning, as day was dawning;
Ahmed burst into our tent
and his hands he lay, on Dave to pray,
with such a menacing intent.
...

Drums were banging, and music clanging,
throughout the day and the night
repeating constantly, it was affecting me,
and I just did not feel alright.
...

Then I saw him, he was coming,
and I wondered about his intent
watched him stagger, saw him swagger,
‘til he stood there at the tent.
...
