Royston Allen Poems

Beauty like water will just flow away
passing at the midnight of our last day.
For then all our strength begins to go
as we swiftly age and much older grow.
...

The good that I would
I did not
and the bad that I should not
I went and did.
...

Love turns mere water into wine
and earthly things become divine.
It swallows hurt and hatred up
and sweetens every bitter cup.
...

I sat in church and bowed my head.
'Lord, It is me again, ' I said
'It's been a while since I've been here, '
As I wiped from my eyes a tear.
...

The Lord my God is One
Father, Spirit and Son
The splendour of His being
in full Trinity agreeing.
...

'What manner of Man is this? ' They cried.
'That at His word wind and wave subside.'
This One there in the boat, Who can He be?
The Man Who commands both the storm and sea.
...

Off with my basket of loaves and fishes I sped
as I rushed up the hill to hear what Jesus said.
Sitting down I listened well to those words of His
for I had never heard any man speak like this.
...

2013 has been a bummer of a year,
attempted suicide, cancer and the death of someone dear.
Life is such a challenge and it is difficult to cope
It is so easy to give up and lose my faith and hope.
...

It's the tablets that make me act this way
when I'm not in control of what I say.
I rant and rave and say such crazy things
unaware of the heartache that it brings.
...

There is a special room set apart and blessed
a holy place and sanctuary where we can rest.
We enter in protected from this worlds care
and sweet communion with the Lord we share.
...
