Colin Ian Jeffery Poems

Alone in darkness he stands
Unseen behind rocks on a beach
Washed and worn by salty tides
Bidding adieu to his bonnie prince
...

How I delight in you
This surging love
Overwhelming ecstasy of your touch.
...

My heart is broken
Soul in anguish
Time has stopped cruel and hard
With your passing
...

In beauty she does abides
Love of my life
Stirring passions to enjoy.

...

Deep among rocks water begins to trickle,
Seeping to flow --- life begun as a stream
Mysterious, surprising, hopeful for what will come.
Baby born, nourished, supported to flourish,
...

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.
...

When earth's span is done nothing will be lost
Within the great cosmic mystery of time and space
But one diminutive blue planet circling a sun
That finally burnt out finishing all life.
...

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.
...

Paradise lies hidden beyond the sunset
Where departed love ones dwell in ceaseless happiness
Safe among butterfly meadows, sweet smelling, serene
Where birds chirp choruses of exultation
...
