Almighty Imperfections

Almighty Imperfections

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I do not believe in perfection

Humankind was not made for it

Even back in medieval times

Artisans skipped a stitch or two

So, their tapestries were not perfect

Sometimes brush strokes were “forgotten”

Or a color was just a tiny bit off from the rest

Again, not perfection

I am one who follows this tradition

An added or missing lettr

A period or comma in the wrong place

The thing is, only God can be perfect

And not one of us is God

So, we love imperfections as our own

A creative way to show tribute to The God Almighty

The Darkness

The Darkness

by Lord R.e. Taylor

There is something great out there

Brought into traveling miles 

Your journey will not be a usual one

A special time when your view changes

The world around you is gone

Hidden in the pure black shadows

There is nothing to see

Nothing to distract you

But there is always something there

So, maybe it is just you and your thoughts

Perhaps that is a good thing but maybe not

It is all up to you and the souls of the darkness

You Can Make A Choice

You Can Make A Choice

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It has been a long time

We cannot remember our last win

Still, we fight and fight

Trying to make things work

Instead, we become confused

Not knowing what is true

Maybe we should go with our hearts

Not trying to overthink things

Sometimes we may get it right

Other times we will likely get it wrong

So, think about it all this way

We will have to live with it

So make a choice

And let the crap fall where it may

After all, it may be fun to watch.

Homesick Doesn’t Kill

Homesick Doesn’t Kill

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It has been a long time

Home doesn’t exist

Everything has changed

People have gone

There is nothing left

Yes, I miss it all

Maybe a bit too much

Being homesick does not kill you

You just wish it would

She Still Watches

She Still Watches

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She was born so long ago

Her mother left her after the birth

Somehow she survived

Lost away from the world

Without love or education

She was different from everyone else

Her world was silent

Only the animals visit her

In all her sun rose and set on her

Some guess more than forty-five thousand times

But she kept to her life

Even to the extent of dying all alone

Still her body sits in her favorite chair

Watching a door which never opens

But that was who this poor woman was

Unloved and unknown for her life

And now for her eternity

Visiting The Bayou

Visiting The Bayou

by Lord R.e. Taylor

There is a place

Everyone knows about

Although no one talks about it

So many strange things are there

Animals that would love to eat you

Witches and warlocks casting spells

And the living dead looking for you

Please, if you do not live in a bayou

Do not take the chance of visiting

So many people have gone in for the day

A lot of them never found their way out

No one knows what happened to them

Or if they do they will not say

So, listen to the tall tales

Believe what those who escaped have to say

And stay out of the Louisiana swamps

All Hallow’s Eve

All Hallow’s Eve

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Every year a month comes along

Dreams of candy and costumes

Parties for the grown-ups

Yelling “trick or treat” for the kids

Ghost stories are told

Still, no one hears the moans in the wind

The feeling that something bad is coming

Maybe some bones scattered around

All Hallows Eve is coming

The dead know when it is

And they want to come out and play

So, get your candy but remain safe

They will be watching to be sure you are
