Compass Points Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Beauty lies frozen within death's embrace
Coffin held, four compass points of my life
Silent as stone, eyes forever closed
Leaving me alone without soulmate.
Love seeded heart to wondrous flowering
Steadfast within stormy seas, strong, unyielding
Engaging truth which death could not deny
Reason and truth fulfilling passing days
Hope and promise for every dawn's birth.
Death took love from me, my brightest star.
Grief making my soul its dark kingdom
With all joy and time cruelly stopped
No stars, sun and moon bright in my universe.
My lover was my morning, noon and night
Beat of heart, life's overwhelming happiness.
