Best Memories

Best Memories

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Just the two of us

In the place where we met

The salty smell of the ocean

And the rhythm of the waves

Everything is the same as forty years ago

When we shared our

first words

And our first of a billion kisses

Under the light of a tropical sunset

The beach is mostly silent

But we never noticed

Even after so long, we hear our own music

Music that no one else will ever hear

We dance our most romantic dance

And in that moment, we promise our love 

Not only for the next forty years

But for all time and beyond

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
