Butterfly Beauty

Butterfly Beauty

By Lord R.e. Taylor

How did God do it

Gathering every color from everywhere

Finding the ideal brushes

And using the perfect canvases

Not too big and not too small

Even though they do not last too long

Butterflies are works of art

Perfect, beautiful, and graceful

Just what they were created to be

Imagination

Imagination

By Lord R.e. Taylor

My imagination is strong

We never met but I loved you

Showed you in many ways

When we met and fell in love

My imagination was weak

Forgetfulness

Forgetfulness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

No matter what

I do something

I forget why I did it

I go somewhere

I forget where I am

And why I went there

But I know my mind still works

At least I think it does

I may have forgotten though

Maybe someday I will run for president

If I could just remember where Washington is

The Fantasy Prince

The Fantasy Prince

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She has been in love so many times

Every one of them left her

Some were at least polite

Others left nothing but endless tears

Finally, she found her perfect love

Who only lives within her dreams

Nights of impeccable kisses

And passions only found in magic

Her Prince Charming was not real

But sometimes fantasies can be so much better

Don’t Be Normal

Don’t Be Normal

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Sometimes normal just doesn’t work

Being silly or stupid fits better

So, don’t listen to other people

They will usually tell you no

You know it will be the thing to do

The best thing you can do is just do it

After all, it is your life so just live it

The Phoenix

The Phoenix

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There are so many stories

Told over the last three thousand years

You were always the hero

A god who always fought for right

Returning in a ball of flames

Whenever the fates turned against you

A single phoenix traveling free

The Magic Of The Moon

The Magic Of The Moon

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The magic of the universe

So rarely seen by man

But it created beauty all around

It even graces a dead world

A beauty so amazing it has been treasured

Written about in stories and poems

Sung about by so many singers

It is a beauty covering a sleeping world

A miracle of magic from a loving God

Honor

Honor

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Honor cannot be taught

Nor can it be learned

It must be born in your heart

And raised within your soul

Your Heaven

Your Heaven

By Lord R.e. Taylor

What is Heaven like

God sitting on a golden throne

Saint Peter guarding the gates

Maybe angels flying between the clouds

Or is it tent sitting on a small island

Smooth cool water under a billion stars

And a roaring fire cooking your dinner

Whichever you choose is right for you

Your Heaven will truly be a paradise

The Playful King

The Playful King

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You are a true king

A warrior and a god

Defending your lands

All while loving your family

You rarely allow your true self to be seen

The prince you were as a cub

Playful and funny

A child hiding in an adult's body

Praise be to the younger you

Long may you reign

The Beauty Of A Sunset

The Beauty Of A Sunset

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Everyday people gather

Standing on the beach

No matter of heat or cold

Some kiss as the sky turns gold

Others pray to ancient spirits

Still others just admire the beauty

God gave us sunsets for many reasons

One reason above all

To show us the love He has for us

And the hope of a new day

The Curse Of Thinking

The Curse Of Thinking

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Thoughts can be good

And they can be bad

Especially when they come all at once

Or even so awfully close together

Without giving you a chance to rest

Headaches and lack of sleep follow

But the opposite is just as bad

When your brain refuses to work

And you cannot find a thought anywhere

All you would have is a brain full of nothing

Without a path to anything

Bringing you headaches and a lack of sleep

That shows that thinking is a lose-lose situation

So, just do not do it

And save yourself all that pain

Happy SPD

Happy SPD

By Lord R.e. Taylor

We have waited so long

Locked away in beautiful prisons

Though now the day has come

Break the mandates if you have to

Shatter the iron which holds you

Break through the doors

Run the streets and yell

Head to the bars and fill them

Drink everything they have

And forget the last year 

Above all remember one thing

“Happy St. Patrick’s Day”

You Are A Masterpiece

You Are A Masterpiece

By Lord R.e/ Taylor

I do not know you

Where you are from

How old you are

Or even your name

I know someone cared about you

They took time to paint you

Allowing your beauty lasts forever

You go ahead and keep your secrets

I probably would not want me to know

I will just admire you hanging on my wall

After all you are a masterpiece

And I bet you always have been

Prowling The Night

Prowling The Night

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He prowls the night

Hunting for God knows what

But he has no choice

His blood surges

Memories of an ancient past

When panthers were his kin

But the needs for the hunts are gone

Replaced by a need for belly rubs

Song Of The Flowers

Song Of The Flowers

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The time is coming

It is only days away

Life will return to the world

Life’s song is beginning to be sung

A song written by Earth itself

So faintly sung by every flower

Maybe you can hear it

Just a sound on new Spring breezes

If it only lasts a few seconds

Or if it lasts the entire season

Listen to every single note

Then thank the flowers

Thank the Earth for what you hear

And celebrate life as you never have before

Lies

Lies

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So many lies

In such a short time

More and more

Told everyday by the ones we trust

We are not given a choice

We are forced to hear them

And made to obey them

That is the new normal

My Darkness

My Darkness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Darkness wins its battle

The light hides away

The angels of the day

Run into the few remaining spots of light

While wolves howl outside

And vampire bats own the air

It is best for innocents not to be seen

For their eternal souls will be in danger

The dark is for the guilty sinners

Allowing them to live the desires they all share

Know my friends, the world of the dark is my world

And that is where you will always find me

Living and loving among my own kind

In ways that you could never imagine

A Place Of Beauty

A Place Of Beauty

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I am sure a place exists

A place where every song is sung

Every poem is read

Every story is told

And every piece of art is displayed

That place could be on a mountain

Hidden deep in a sun lit valley

Or a flower covered hillside

But it is most likely a place in our minds

Where their true beauty can be admired

And maybe they will last forever

Your Body Knows

Your Body Knows

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The doctor doesn't know

Nobody can see the symptoms

But your body is acting strange

Your heart beats in perfect time

But it only beats for her

Your mind works as well as ever

But all of its thoughts are of her

Your body hurts so badly

But it only hurts to hold her close

You guess your body is just telling you

What your soul already knew

As long as you are alive

You will be in love with her

And that will never, ever change

Always A Masterpiece

Always A Masterpiece

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It always takes a while

Usually, it creates a masterpiece

Sometimes it creates tears

But with every movement

Whether their art is good or bad

The potter creates a piece

They put their heart and soul into it

Then, no matter how it looks

Their work is always a masterpiece

Man Will Not Be Hidden

Man Will Not Be Hidden

Nature takes the world back

Covering it all under a blanket of clouds

But man’s accomplishments will not be hidden

They will always rise and be seen

Down A Dirt Road

Down A Dirt Road

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There is something perfect

Everyone can do it

All you must do is want to

Driving through a country forest

Down a little used dirt road

No stop signs or traffic lights

No road signs whatsoever

Just you and the road

A little snow and a deer or two

What could be better

Her Search For Love

Her Search For Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

A gown of virginal white

Lit by the lights of a golden sun

Made from her wishes and dreams

She wanders the forests alone

Her heart looking for what her eyes cannot see

Her one and only true love

A Prince Charming which may or may not exist

But that does not matter to her

It never has and it never will

She has a strong hope which leads her

And she will never give that up
