A Dangerous Journey

A Dangerous Journey

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She grew up so long ago

The world was so different

Everything was so good

Nothing but black and white

No shades of grey were around

Then everything changed

Heroes died in a strange way

Political people lie more and more 

And normal people began hating everyone

Not remembering if they were male or female

Fighting for everything that was wrong

And shooting up children for no good reason

Finally, the country was destroyed

The world was crippled  beyond repair

Those people got what they wanted

The past was gone, the future was gone

Humanity was gone

Waiting In Heaven

Waiting In Heaven

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I never thought about it

What would my life be

I thought it would be good

Your smile told me so

I saw your love in your eyes

And heard your heart in your voice

But that was a lifetime ago

I can see you in my dreams

My heart is still open to you

However, your smile eludes me

I would give anything to see that again

Just know that if I have to

I would stand at the gates of Heaven

Just for a small chance to love you again

The New Land

The New Land

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Now I am there

No idea where

Yes, it is scary 

I really had no idea

It is not my world

Not from my imagination

Who created such a place

Why did they make it

No one will tell me

But maybe the land isn't real 

Maybe it is far too real

I may never figure it all out

If I do, I may not want to know

Or maybe I just won't care

Ode To A Modern Aphrodite

Ode To A Modern Aphrodite

by Lord R.e. Taylor

How can any words describe her

So many have tried and failed

Poetry, songs, stories, and pictures 

Nothing fits her perfectly

Her eyes and smile are mystical 

Her skin appears to be the purest ivory

Not even the smallest flaw can ever be seen

She evokes powers deep within her

The ability to make people smile

And they fall in love without hesitation 

But all of their love is unrequited 

Such is the life of a modern Aphrodite 

A woman every man wants

But no man may ever possess

The Isolated Garden

The Isolated Garden

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Acres and acres of flowers

Touched but the Sun

Watered by cool Summer rains

And blessed by a traversing Moon

They grow without making a sound

But their petals reach for every cloud

Waving loving greetings as they float by

So many birds know each flower

Friends they share with bees and butterflies

The best thing is that no human knows this place

They have not stomped on the flowers

Nor have they picked them for home decor

And no concrete monsters are seen

This may truly be the last place flowers can live

All we can do is ask the Universe to keep it safe 

And hope the answer comes soon enough

Changing Future

Changing Future

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Bit by bit, the world changes

What was just a dream a few years ago

Now is a new reality

Things not known in our history

Things everyone thought were insane

We now use it in our everyday lives

And we never even think about them

Maybe when our great-grandkids are grown

They will look back on us as primitives 

No more than how we think of cavemen

The bad thing is that is what we think now

We look back at a few generations

And we think about how primitive  they were

So, I guess we will deserve it

A Message To My Momma

A Message To My Momma

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Momma, I know you do not know me

We have not met yet

But I already know you

I can hear your voice when you talk

Your heartbeat is like music

A song that only I can hear

But I do know your thoughts

I know that you never wanted me

Momma, I know that I will be a good girl

You will always know my love for you

I may be the woman who cures cancer

So, please Momma

Do not go through that door

Please, Momma, give me a chance to live

I may end up being the love of your life

If only you can allow me to take my first breath

And give me the chance to be who I am
