The Last Bit Of Hope

The Last Bit Of Hope

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The last morsel of light

Shining through the window

Showing the last bit of faith

Before the darkness closes in

And the world’s shredded hope 

Can no longer be seen

You Were A Surprise

You Were A Surprise

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You were so cute

A little puppy locked in a cage

Not excited at all

But we did see you smile at us

It was then we fell in love

That was not you though

The hidden power of an atom bomb

It constantly drove us crazy

But it was who you always were

And how could we not love that

Dreaming Of You

Dreaming Of You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Sleep sneaks up on me

Taking me into its own reality

Dreams where you and I hold hands

Walking in the greenest forest ever created

Sharing our love with a deep, passionate kiss

Other times it takes me to a nightmare

Where you stand just outside my reach

Then you just turn and walk away

Letting the fog of time turn you into a memory

That takes my soul away and destroys my life

I pray every night for a single dream

So, it can make my life worth living

Let me know that I am allowed to love you

Life Without A Pardon

Life Without A Pardon

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He never committed a crime

Never hurt anyone

His only crime was being born

Now he has a life sentence

Locked away behind bars

No trial and no lawyer

Only one person decided

He is the one who needs pardoned

Released back to his home

But that is never going to happen

At least as long as people like his suffering

Soul Of A Swan

Soul Of A Swan

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is such a rare moment

A miracle of miracles

The soul of a swan

The most beautiful of birds

Entering the human world

Creating perfection

A woman beyond all others

Blessings Of The Night

Blessings Of The Night

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The sun goes down

At that moment your soul changes

New dreams and fantasies

Spoken and unspoken

Fill your heart and mind

Desires you never knew you had

Lead you to sensations you never knew

And wishes made you hope will come true

Others made you hope will never be granted

Only shared when the daylight dies

And the night takes control of what it owns

So, bless the night and all it offers

After all, it is made just for you

Two Beautiful Souls

Two Beautiful Souls

By Lord R.e. Taylor

No matter the distance

No matter the differences

Two beautiful souls will find each other

And they will become one
