The Perfect Joey

The Perfect Joey

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Joey was always a bit strange

There was nothing wrong with him

He always did things his own way

Joey always saw the world in a different way

That made him just the perfect Joey

Join Me In Darkness

Join Me In Darkness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You want me to behave

Act and think just like you

I can tell you it ain't going to work

You tell me what do and what to say

That ain't me and it never will be

I cannot be who you want

Being bad is so much more fun

More fun than being a saint

So just let me be who I am

And if you can't just let me be

You know i will bring you in with me

Maybe you will see what being bad offers

And you will love me for that

Time Passes

Time Passes

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Times comes and flies away

Just like the salty breezes

There is no stopping it

Or even slowing it down

All we can do is watch as it passes

And know it will never return

He Does What He Does

He Does What He Does

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He really does not know what he is doing

Nor does he know why he is doing it

But something guides his heart and mind

Making his hand write such beautiful words

He does not want to be rich or famous

Instead, he writes for people`s enjoyment

So, if you see his words think of him and smile

That would be the best gift he could ever receive

Behind The Door

Behind The Door

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Photo by nicksbuilding.com

My mind tells me to think

There cannot be anything there

It is standing all alone

Your heart tells you different

Not all is as it seems

The door may lead to another world

It may show you things you never knew

Or it may just be a single door

A gateway to nowhere special

But if you listen to your mind

You may never know what could be waiting

Just beyond the door

Being A Kid

Being A Kid

By Lord R.e. Taylor

What happened to kids

They used to be invincible

Made so by caring parents

Allowing kids to play outside

Challenged them to get dirty

Get hurt, even broken bones

Yeah, they cried but Mom never saw that

It was all part of being a kid

And they shared illnesses

Sleeping in the same bed

Drinking out of the same glasses

Anything to get sick

But they survived

Every one of them

Stronger than they started out

All because their parents love them enough

To just go out and be a kid

All I Have

All I Have

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I don't have a lot to offer

Barely two pennies to rub together

I do have a heart which I could give you

There are more than a few dreams

It would be my pleasure to share 

A million hugs and kisses saved for you

And an entire lifetime of my love

It may not be that much

But it is all for you

I Love My House

I Love My House

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I am so glad to have a house

Away from my neighbours

With at least a semblance of privacy

So many will never realise that dream

Too many people crammed in tiny boxes

Stacked on top of each other

Dwellings separated by tissue paper walls

With the only fresh air coming from tiny windows

Humans were never meant to live like that

I am so glad to have a house

Away from my neighbours

With at least a semblance of privacy

The Same Yet Different

The Same Yet Different

By Lord R.e. Taylor

They may look alike

Possibly impossible to tell apart

But they are different from each other

Maybe as different as night and day

One of them is an angel

Well trained, friendly, and loyal

The other was born to hunt and kill

To run wild in isolated forests

Both should be respected

Admired and taken care of

They should be left to be who they truly are

Just the way we SHOULD treat other humans

Too bad we never learned that

The Promise

The Promise

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Darling, we have been apart so long

I do want you to know that I am here

I so hoped that you could move on

Find the someone I know you need

Somehow, I knew that would never happen

Our love was far too strong for that

I still can hear our hearts beating together

Darling, please know that I am in the Good Place

And I swear that I will be here waiting for you

But until the moment that you join me

I will always be right here behind you

With you for every moment of your life

I can and do promise you that

Cuteness

Cuteness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

People have needs

Food, water and a home

There is one need people have

It digs deep into their soul

Claws at their heart

And lingers in the mind

Sometimes it is hard to find

It is usually around

All you have to do is look for it

Cuteness is all over the world

And so are the smiles that come with it

I’m Still Alive

I’m Still Alive

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There is blood flowing within me

Heated by the fires of Hell

And given by a million demons

When everyone fears life

I stand and laugh at the storm

Because I know that when the lightning flashes

The winds blow stronger than ever before

And the rains destroy the planet

I will remain standing on the mountaintop

Laughing because after everything

All the world has thrown at me

I am still alive

Our Time Of Love

Our Time Of Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

We share the warmth of the Summer sun

The beauty of the sky as the light fades

Maybe a wish on the first star of the evening

The best part has nothing to do with the heavens

It only matters that I am here with you

And that our hearts become one all over again

Truth Or Dare

Truth Or Dare

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I will not do it

I will not tell you

This game sucks 

And I am too sober

So, I am going home

D And Nothing But The D

D And Nothing But The D

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Darkness fills the air

Daring the brave to emerge

Dragging armour and sword

Determined to have honor

Defence

Dragons leave their caves

Drumming their wings

Dirt flying up behind them

Descending on the village

Destruction

Down the mountainside

Defenders take position

Demanding soldiers give their lives

Dying to save their motherland

Death

Dozens do die

Destroyed by a powerful enemy

Dead men can no longer scream

Deafened by the cheers of the others

Daytimes shows the results of battle

Defenders standing over dragon bodies

Defiant

I Am Your Puppy

I Am Your Puppy

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I may not be the smartest in the kennel

I cannot sit, or play catch, or roll-over yet

I know I can give you a million kisses

And we can go on endless walks down forest paths

Just know that I am not that smart

But I am really, really cute

And that is the important thing

 

The Garden Of Heaven

The Garden Of Heaven

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I have lived a thousand years

Wandering through the layers of Hell

Without a shred of hope

All I knew that I had lost something

Someone who I truly loved

Someone who would never join me here

Still, I pray that I will find you again

The Gates of Hell would open

I would once again walk hand in hand

We would share the gardens of Heaven

And maybe we can fall in love again

My Perfect Girl

My Perfect Girl

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot believe that I met you

A living piece of perfection

Beauty and personality

Unmatched by any in our world

But you are also a secret

So many things I cannot see

So many things I would love to know

Someday I may ask you

But I do not feel that I should

So, I will get to know what you want me to know

Until then I will just look at you with my heart

And talk to you as my friend

Please Be A Dad

Please Be A Dad

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Okay, you can be a father

But can you be a dad

Will you love your child

Take time to play with them

Give them one thing…a smile

I will make a bet though

And I am pretty sure to win

You will never ever know their name

Or when they were born

So please if you become a father

Make sure you can be a dad

Your child deserves it

Goodbye And Good Luck

Goodbye And Good Luck

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You are just one of trillions

A mere microscopic insect

Existing on a microscopic planet

There’re really is no difference

Between you and a bacterium on your skin

So, there is no need to hate other creatures

Just because you are not alike

So, sit down and shut up

Because if the world comes to an end

It will not be anyone’s fault

But no matter who you are

No one is going to survive

So, to all the trillions dying on Earth

Goodbye and good luck

That is all anyone can say so accept it

Our Kids Need Better

Greetings Friends, I wrote this piece after watching some teachers using every excuse they can think of not to go back in the classroom. Rather, your union tells you to teach illegals at the border. Believe me, it is not about the good teachers who actually care about their students and, even if it is only three days a week, go to class and teach just as the should. You all deserve to be honoured, the rest of you should be shamed and fired!

Our Kids Need Better

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Kids are dying

Losing their minds

All because of teachers

They still get their money

Even though they haven't taught

Haven't seen a classroom in a year

But they still get their money

Maybe they are lazy

Or maybe they are just greedy

There is one thing for sure

They do not care about kids

And that should be criminal

My Empty Heart

My Empty Heart

With love you showed 

Knowing you will leave

My heart will never be happy

Just an empty shell

Telling The Tale

Telling The Tale

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She has been around for a long time

No one knows how long exactly

She has seen so much

Good and bad times

And even times no one should ever have

She never gave up on anything

But her wrinkles sadly tell the tale

Tribute To A Log

Tribute To A Log

By Lord R.e. Taylor

We have all written of love

The happiness of a child

And the sadness of a loss

We see what others don’t

Beauty and darkness everywhere

Even born in the deepest forest

A mighty tree

It gave life to so many animals

Cool breezes to so many others

All it ever asked for was water and sunshine

And that was what God gave it

We have no idea how long it lived

What it may have seen before man arrived

Hours later all that was left was a single log

But it has a story that should be told

Only if anyone cares to listen
