The Truth Behind The Smile

The Truth Behind The Smile

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You have such beauty

More than any woman should

However, there is a sadness in you

You try to hide it with a smile

But a single tear tells the truth

A truth that you cannot hide

 

You Do Like Poetry

You Do Like Poetry

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Okay, you don’t like poetry

Maybe we can understand

But maybe we can’t

We see you in your car

We were not supposed to

You thought you were in private

But guess what, the world saw you

Driving along singing with the radio

It does not matter who it was

Their lines rhythmed over and over

Isn’t that the definition of a poem

So, maybe you always did like poetry

You just didn’t know it

 

So Much To Do

So Much To Do

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So much to do

So little time

Hurry up

Never stop

Every second is precious

A minute never exists

Do not ever sit down

You can't stop running

Everything must be done

Nothing can wait

Tomorrow is never good

Today is the perfect day

Finish everything

So much to do

So little time

Modern life

Who needs it

 

The Temple Of Nature

The Temple Of Nature

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Walk with me through an alien world

Created an eternity before man

Massive trees reaching for the sky

Animals still running wild

Scampering through giant ferns

Birds filling the branches

Singing songs taught through the ages

It is a mystical untouched land

A temple to the Church of Nature

 

A Dog Is A Dog

A Dog Is A Dog

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Dogs come in the same colors as humans

White, black, brown, yellow, and red

But they never see it

Everyone is the same to them

There are even dogs of many colors

Still, that does not matter

A dog is a dog is a dog

No differences, just another dog

Just like a human is a human is a human

No differences, just another human

 

Nothing

Nothing

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Somewhere

Sometime

Another day

Something happens

Nothing important

Nobody noticed

 

Perfect Water

Perfect Water

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Imagine a calm lake

No breezes or winds

Not a sound to disturb the surface

You there all alone

Just stand and stare out

Marvel at such perfection

But all it would take is a grain of sand

A ripple barely seen as it entered the water

And the pristine surface would be gone forever

Never to be seen again

 

A Single Spark

A Single Spark

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Unhappy for so long

Finally, a single spark

Just enough to make a smile

It should be shared

So, unhappiness can finally end

 

The New America

The New America

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I really want a beer

You cannot do that

The Governor says so

Maybe we can go somewhere

Not right now

The government took our gas

Can we have a safe and secure home

Nope, the President said we can't

Illegals will be given them before too long 

Too many people have died

Too much hatred filled the streets

Too much control over everything

What has America become

It is no longer what it was

Changed and not for the better

And that should be wrong

But not today

Not with our leaders

 

My Confusion, Your Words

My Confusion, Your Words

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I listen to what you say

I can’t believe these words came from you

It was a really strange idea

So, of course I look confused

I usually do when we talk

And today ain’t any different

 

Never Think

Never Think

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The people in the palaces

The people with the crosses and collars

The people who stand up to teach you

They want you to listen only to them

Learn their ideas and follow what they say

Never speak out on your own

Never think any non-approved thoughts

And never, ever say that they are wrong

If you do ever speak out against them

You will disappear into an unknowing Hell

Lost to the world, the universe and loved ones

Our leaders have spoken and condemned

And even God Almighty cannot help you

 

Fly Free

Fly Free

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I was only wasting time

Watching you fly above me

Wide circles covering the sky

You have no limits

No borders below you

No one telling you what to do

Or what you cannot do

Your life is what every life should be

Total freedom to do what you want

All you have to do is be happy

It is too bad human cannot live like that

 

Aging

Aging

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He was always so smart

Smiling and friendly

He really lived his life

But that was a lifetime ago

Now his body is failing him

And his mind is long since gone

Now he just sits and stares

No more smiling or living life

He just is a shell

Nothing more and nothing less

 

 

My Beautiful Daughter

My Beautiful Daughter

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The day you were born

You opened your eyes

I knew that I was blessed

Such a beautiful daughter

The prettiest ever

 

A Touch Of Magic

A Touch Of Magic

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The world is made up of greys

Nothing is black or white

Everything is just grey

But one night a year that changes

A thousand fairies come to our world

Flying across all the lands

Spreading magical seeds before moving on

Our world comes alive with color

Maybe, just for a little while, there is beauty

 

Hunting Bear In Oz

Hunting Bear In Oz

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I need my true mates

Not just my friends

Only the mates who have my back

We will not use guns, arrows or spears

Still we will go out hunting bear

And none will escape us

Every Bundy Bear will be devoured

Until the last possible drop

Then we will move on to the next hunting ground

Until no bear is left standing

For that is the kind of guys we are

 

One Moment

One Moment

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Humanity has waited far too long

So many times it was within a breath

But it was just never quite right

Not the way it is tonight

Just the perfect sun in the right place

Clouds with a power of their own

And colors never been seen before

Tonight, this moment is special

It is an instant which may never be seen again

We should be honored that Nature shared it with us

And we should give thanks for such a beautiful universe

 

The Real You

The Real You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It does not matter who you were

Where you spent your childhood

Or what you have done or have not done

None of those things are the real you

All that matters is the you in your heart

The you that shows in your eyes

The one and only real you

 

Stars Of The Garden

Stars Of The Garden

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Stars fall from Heaven

Landing in fields all over

Brightening every day

As they follow the Sun

In its journey across the sky

Such is the miracle of a sunflower

Stars given to us by a happy universe

 

A Magical Sunrise

A Magical Sunrise

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The Sun rises in the east

Promising brand-new day

Leaving the old one behind

New dreams and wishes

Promises which need filled

All coming with the fresh light

 

Growing Up

Growing Up

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I refused to grow up

That started so long ago

A family which kept on growing

So many jobs came and went

And pains where pains shouldn’t be

But I never did grow up

Now I see people walking with canes

Forgetting what they were doing

They have the same silver tint as I do

And giving up their fave spicy foods

Then it hits me when I talk to them

We are the exact same ages

Some are even younger

I realize the one thing I never wanted to

I DID grow up and there was nothing I could do

 

Obsession

Obsession

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot forget you

All I want is to hold you

That fills my mind all day

And all night

No matter how long it takes

Days, weeks or forever

I want only you

My one and only obsession

 

Black Tears

Black Tears

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She has not lived that long

Living a life of pain and sorrow

Rejection and loss

She had no one to talk to

So, her problems built up

Far beyond what any human should endure

Her heart and soul became dark

Now she cries as she watches others

Tears as black as pitch flow down her cheek

A symbol of her pain the world can see

One that she can no longer hide

 

A Softer World

A Softer World

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The world is stressful

Brightly coloured

Loud noises

Too many people

We need to tone things down

Lower the volume  

Get away for a while

Paint the world with pastels

Sure as anything the stress will die

And you may be able to live

All Alone Girl

All Alone Girl

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Every day I see you in the same place

Sitting on the edge of the dock

All alone staring out at nothing

Are you waiting for someone

Maybe someone who will never return

Or are you a masterpiece made real

It is impossible to know for sure

So, I will just admire your beauty

I will marvel at your serenity

And I will leave you to your solitude

Just as you desire

Standing On The Edge

Standing On The Edge

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Let the chasm open before her

Call her to the very edge

She is up for the challenge

The darkness does not scare her

The fire is nothing for her to fear

She was born into a world of death

Surrounded by needless hatred and violence

So, there is nothing hiding the chasm

Nothing and no one who can defeat her

She has seen it all before in a place called home

A Good Day

A Good Day

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It may not be the best day

Cold and rainy

With birds crapping all over

Even with that we are together

Nothing else matters

And, the day does not seem so bad
