Royston Nella Poems

As I gaze out of my window I see
each new morning a fresh bloom greeting me.
With its purple trumpets clarion call
proclaiming joy and peace to one and all.
...

I almost lost you yesterday.
My life all shattered and in disarray.
God could have chosen death to part
and brought such sadness to my heart.
...

I hid in the wardrobe thinking this will be great.
But my timing was wrong and I left it too late.
My plan of seduction had gone wildly adrift.
For when you found me hiding there you were so miffed.
...

He spoke words much stronger than those of death.
as He died and breathed out His final breath
Words of forgiveness, words of loving care,
as He hung upon the cross in agony there.
...

Jabbing.
Grabbing.
Unzipping.
Unclipping.
...

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

Love took the cup
and drank it up.
It's empty now for me.
...

It's him Lord and he has done it again!
Why can't he just stop and learn to refrain?
He still wants me to forgive him once more
but he's done it so many times before!
...

I praise God for each and every year
that I have been married to you my dear.
Each day has been such a delight to spend
with you my lovely soul mate and my friend.
...

The moment that you were born I was there
and heard your cry as you first breathed in air.
Thrilled by the sheer beauty of your small frame
We decided that Ruth would be your name.
...
