Colin Ian Jeffery Poems

Old man sat on park bench feeding pigeons
Bread from sandwiches, children playing nearby
On swings and roundabouts, proud parents watching
Hearts full of love, joy and hope for their child.
...

How good to hear your voice, precious loving tones
That quake the heart and race the blood
Inspiring thoughts to new majestic lofty heights.
Delighting my Muse rejoicing in your presence
...

What greater marvel
Than trees
Leaves whispering in the breeze
Shade against the sun
...

Despicable war is man's insanity
Indiscriminately killing
Plundering, harvesting lives.
...

God gave His cherished son, the Lord Jesus Christ
Sacred spirit who suffered for Mankind's salvation
As the sacrificial lamb dying to save the faithful
From the temptations and bribes from the Devil.
...

Isolated in lock-down fearing Coronavirus
Not seeing family and many years a widow
With only dog and budgie keeping her company
Terrified virus will strike her down into the grave.
...

Time passing
Has not broken nor dulled
Life's flow and perception.
...

My best times are with you, and you alone
All woes depart eclipsed by your presence
I see your face and transcending smile
Which stormed my heart when love began.
...

You are sensation of my life, sweetness, joy
Wit, wisdom, guiding hand never forsaking
Companion on life's highway, best friend, lover
Keeping me safe and guided upon life's road.
...

You knew
This time would come
When I would have to leave you
Not by choice
...
