Steve Gregory Poems

Abba, did you smile as you
saw the perfect world you’d just created?
And did you weep when Adam fell
and Eve tumbled after?
...

Like textured paper covered in sand
Like sheepskin warm to the touch
Tactile, fragile, easy to break
A sculpture in time, in line, to protect, respect.
...

The sun is shining
And the world around you
Is a happy place;
The population laughs
...

The band around her finger sent tears down her face
Her memories were causing those red, red eyes
Yes, the band around her finger sent tears down her face
As her memories came, half in, half out
...

Soft was your smile
As you left through the door
As the wind touched your hair
And you said you'd only be a while
...

The news is full of war and threats
and West against East,
East against West,
And nuclear tension is clear
...

Which Jesus do you worship?
Which Saviour do you serve?
Is He the Warrior that Revelation tells,
Or is He a timid baby,
...

Noise

Do you hear it?
The noise of calamity?
...

It came upon the midnight clear
Or so the story goes,
In the Royal city bathed in light
From Market stalls and shops so bright
...

I hear you tapping on my window,
I saw you running down the street,
I know how impatient you are when
You fall upon the floor and bounce
...
