Stars Of Love

Stars Of Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So many points of light

Lighting the night sky

Balls of fire billions of miles away

Are we the only ones with our own star

Created to give life to our little rock

Life which covers every inch

But it is possible we are all alone

That God didn't create anyone else

Surely every point of light has a planet

And more than a few hold life

They may not look like us

But they are also God's creations

Family we never knew existed

But family we should try to meet

At least that way we would not be alone

And the universe may become a bit smaller

Damp And Dewy On An April Morning

Damp And Dewy On An April Morning

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It was such a hard week

Way too much to do

No time to just relax

Even sleep was lacking

But Saturday morning came

Quiet and peaceful

Even stepping outside was paradise

Every blade of grass shone like a diamond

Tiny drops of springtime dew

Stepping off the porch I forgot

That week no longer mattered

Every drop took away another memory

And, at least for a while

I was happy

And I was in Heaven

Your Time Left

Your Time Left

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The minutes are going faster

Months are nothing but blurs

And years are non-existent

The older you get

The faster the time flies

You know that most of your time is over

The time ahead gets shorter every day

So, no matter how fast time flows

You should live your life minute by minute

And you should try to enjoy each one

Sadly, they will run out before you know it

My Palace

My Palace

by Lord R.e. Taylor

My palace

A place for just me

A nice soft bed

With fluffy pillows

No lights or windows

Just a single candle

Burning faintly on my nightstand

Barely enough light to reach the walls

Still, I lay alone in my bed

Looking at the flickering flame

Watching the candle become nothing

I mourn for the loss

But, I also mourn for me

My heart feels a deep emptiness

Knowing that I am losing my one friend

And knowing that it can never return

Never To Say Goodbye

Never To Say Goodbye

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The call came in the evening

So many friends were around

My family all left

Heading for the hospital

Left alone I knew something

But there was no way to be sure

In that time she took her last breath

Her heartbeat softened and ended

Then my mom was gone

And I never got to say goodbye

Opal

Opal

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I look at that flower

Just outside my door

A beautiful bluish rose

Seeing it makes me remember

The first time I saw your eyes

As blue as the most perfect opal

The first words we ever said

And the look when I first kissed you

I remember all of that and so much more

Everything that makes you who you are

A proud, independent woman

One the world should be proud to have

And the woman I am honoured to love

An Uneasy Morning

An Uneasy Morning

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Usually morning is a symphony

Leaves rustling in the breeze

Kids on their way to school

And millions of birds

Every species all together

Owning every tree you can see

But there is a scary side to mornings

Those rare mornings with no breeze

No kids laughing and playing outside

And the trees dead silent with no birds

Even your heartbeat and breathing are silent

It is then when if feel like world ended

Or maybe you have left that world behind

But if you have patience the world will return

The breeze will blow, the kids will play

And the birds will once again wake you up

Then your life will be normal

And you WILL be happy
