Royston Nella Poems

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.
...

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 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.
...

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

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.
...

Oh foolish man to test her love in this way.
hurting her so and causing her such dismay.
Her wonderful love so faithful and so true
has been challenged by the deeds that you do.
...

'I wanna new one cos this old one is broke.'
She wasn't talking about the hi-fi but her old bloke,
I was a high flyer, but now I've run out of dough
and she wants a new one so this old man has to go.
...

A name above all
on whom people call.
A name revered
and by devils feared.
...
