Into The Sunset

Into The Sunset

By Lord R.e. Taylor

We have had a dream

To travel into a golden sunset

Leaving the day behind

While looking for tomorrow

The Cure For Corona

The Cure For Corona

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There used to be a special place

Where drunken women met ugly guys

Fights started over stupid stuff

And EVERYONE could sing in tune (they think)

Even if they can’t remember the words

Alcohol brought drunk’s dreams to life

Hosted by Jack, Jim, Jose and Johnny

The party lasted until last call

It is just too bad that last call lasted six months

So, the party had to move

Had to be hidden from view

But the alcohol still flows

Drunk women still like ugly guys

Fights still happen

And people still cannot sing

Corona will never change that

Jack, Jim, Jose and Johnny are the perfect cure

Insomnia

Insomnia

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Night is such a terror

No chance for sleep

Too many ideas to deal with

None will be remembered

Monsters fill your mind with thoughts

Thoughts which make no sense

And birds scream outside the window

All you can do is pray

Pray for just a few seconds of sleep

But that is a prayer the gods won’t grant

It is their amusement watching you

All the positions you try

All the warm milk you drink

They know you will suffer

All because you have no choice

So, pray more and maybe a single god will take pity

So you can fall asleep before your alarm goes off

Just five minutes before

But beggers can’t be choosers

Remember To Play

Remember To Play

By R.e. Taylor

Make time to play

Cherish each moment

You will grow up

Yet remember fun

And share it all you can

Before the sun sets on youth

The Humour Of The Larrikin

The Humour Of The Larrikin

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There was a time

Not so awfully long ago

Comedy was meant to be funny

Political correctness didn’t exist

In movies, television and live

Performers could be offensive

And no one ever cared

Humour was meant to be funny

Everyone knew that

And everyone laughed

No one cried, whined, or complained

A few performers gained god status

Now, they are considered demons

Times have completely changed

And the humour of the larrikin

Well, it became extinct

And the world is the worse off for it

Dedicated to the world’s best larrikin

The You No One Knows

The You No One Knows

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I have known you all my life

But I don't really know you

There are so many secrets

About your life and your past

Where you came from

Where you hope to go

With your red hair and dark clothes

There is something about you

I can see something darkly magical 

A story told in ancient myths

And that frightens everyone 

Keeps all at a distance

Please tell us all about you

Give us a chance to know the real you

Instead of the you we created

Walk Through Atlantis

Walk Through Atlantis

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Use your mind

Bring back memories

Thousands of years old

So that you can walk with me

Down the streets of Atlantis

White marble paving

Welcome your every step

Countless temples line every block

Built to welcome countless gods

Buildings and statues made of silver and gold

Reach high enough to touch the clouds

And the people greet the new day

Making their land feel like yours

So, take a walk down the streets

Remember the glory of an ancient land

Remember what you have forgotten

And the magic of Atlantis will always survive

Saying Goodbye

Saying Goodbye 

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

It has been so long

More than a few years

I have missed you so much

And shed a thousand tears

But I know one thing

I can never again be your dear

So, I will sit and I will cry

From now until midyear

Then I will simply give up

And I will never persevere

I just have to say goodbye for now

Maybe I’ll just get another beer

A Piece Of History

A Piece Of History

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is such a rare find

Only a few in a lifetime

If you are truly lucky

It would be a place out of time

A piece of history

A time from the past

Carried into the present

Someone deeply cared about it

And wanted it saved

If you find a place like that

A place which doesn’t fit in

Admire it and remember it

It won’t last forever

Lonely Sky

Lonely Sky

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

A clear sky is such a beauty

Crystal azure covering the world

A sign of hope and peace

And provider of needed sun

In this time things have changed

The skies have become a new sign

A symbol of loneliness and despair

No one travels to other lands

Staying locked in their own land

Or they are stranded far away from home

Someday the sky will return

They will become a home once again

And it will again become a thing of beauty

Lady Nature

Lady Nature

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Milady

You are truly a princess

Not the ruler of any land

You, Milady, rule the world

All the animals and plants

Everything which makes life livable

We may not show it properly

We all worship all that you do

And we need you now more than ever

So please know that we have made mistakes

We humbly ask just one thing of you

Please do not give up on us

We promise that we will make you proud

Just give us a chance

A Natural Treasure

A Natural Treasure

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

You fell to Earth long ago

All alone in a mighty forest

You grew as life changed around you

Creatures came and went

Other trees were born and wilted

But you always remained

Spreading your branches

Shading the world beneath you

You are nature’s cathedral

And long after we are dead and gone

You will remain in all your glory

A treasure in a limitless universe

In The Mirror

In The Mirror

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

When you look in the mirror

Do you see what you want to see

Or what the mirror wants you to see

Is it the truth or a lie

You must have the purest faith

Faith that it is you looking back

Maybe it is someone who is not real

Someone you only imagine you are

You may never know the truth

So, you look every morning

You just accept what you see

That is just the way you are

That is the way you should be

And there is nothing wrong with that

Oh, Little One

 

Oh, Little One

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Oh, Little One

Please do not be sad

You cannot see your friends

Nor can you go outside

You know the sunshine misses you

Bur the world will not always be like this

Things are going to change

Become better for innocents like you

So, try to smile like you used to

Your time will come

And that Little One is a promise

I’ll Always Love You

 I’ll Always Love You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Ever since that night you left

I have cried so often

My eyes have dried

But I cannot stop loving you

I am not sure is that a blessing

Or is it a curse that I deserve

I do not know and I do not care

No matter what has happened

Or whatever may happen

You will always fill my heart

And you will always be in my mind

I will always love you

A New Day

A New Day

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Wake to a new day

A new future

Created just for you

Take in the Sun's light

Smell the fresh air

Look at everything around you

Nothing you have ever experienced

The world is brand new

And it is all yours today and forever

An Artist’s Needs

An Artist’s Needs

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

It does not take much

Only a pencil

Or a pen and ink

Possibly some kind of color

An artist doesn’t need any more

In just a few days

Maybe just a couple of hours

They will create a magical world

They will give you a smile

And the artist won’t ask for much

Just like their picture

Tell them what you think of their work

That will always be just enough

The Death Of The U.S.A

The Death Of The U.S.A

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

He was used to speaking

Saying whatever he thought

But that was so long ago

Before the country changed

Now, he had to watch what he said

Say only things which pleased others

And be gagged at additional times

Slowly it became worse and worse

Until the First Amendment was gone

Only then could everyone be happy

Except the man who could no longer speak

His tears flowed over his gag

Falling because his beloved U.S.A was dead

And there was no chance of bringing her back

Her Final Place

Her Final Place

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Normally she was so happy

Smiling when others cried

That was well before that day

Everyone she loved went away

Without a single word

For days she cried

But no one was there to help

Soon it got to be too much

Everything reminded her of them

Her life became endless torture

She knew of only one place

Far away from her life

The perfect place for her to hide

The perfect place for her to end

Alone, the same way she lived

Twinkling Stars

Twinkling Stars

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Every night you look at the stars

You wonder if you are all alone

Or if the universe has more than just you

There are so many stars shining above

Their light fills your eyes

Their twinkling fills your heart

And you remember what your mum said

Every little, twinkling point of light

Everything that you see is soul long gone

And the clouds drifting by are tears

Cried by billions of people just like you

People who felt all alone

In a universe full of stars
