Moon-blessed Love

Moon-blessed Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Even in night’s fading light

Your beauty graces us

Silver light shines from you

Revealing hidden emotions

Allowing us to fall in love

And be one together forever

Murphy

Murphy

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Plans have been made

Working with ideas

Something to do

Somewhere to go

Days, weeks, and months

All look forward to do anything

But, Murphy won't allow it

He'll never let it happen

He doesn’t like having fun

Murphy's an ass

Jealousy

Jealousy

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I never expected what I saw

Her eyes flashed a deadly red

All I did was say hello to a friend

She saw something else

A mortal sin committed in innocence

Destroying her reason, releasing her jealousy

And nearly ending a world

All because I said hello

For Lack Of A Smile

For Lack Of A Smile

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It has been a long time

Far too long since anyone has seen a smile

You know that people still do it

But they are hidden away

So that no one ever sees them

Said it is to keep you safe

Ordered by people who really don’t know

We will wait as long as it takes

And someday, someone will flash a smile

Only then will the hell be over

He Took Her Hand

He Took Her Hand

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She lost her way long ago

Wandering without hope

She had no hope left

Until a man took her hand

She didn’t know He was there

She just felt comfort from His touch

Fear Of Aging

Fear Of Aging

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He was afraid of aging

Fears that he was losing himself

He still had treasured memories

But they were turning into ashes

Burning in flames he could not see

All he could see were places where he kept them

Empty and black for the first times ever

He could not mourn them though

Never remembering they ever existed

He never knew that, even though he was alive

He no longer had his life

The End Of The Book

The End Of The Book

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Word after word

The story grows

Constantly changing

Characters evolve

Becoming something new 

Evil and good fight

Both winning and losing 

Yet nothing can be settled

Not until the writer rests their pen

And the final draft is complete

Only then may the story be told

The Temptation Of Waterfalls

The Temptation Of Waterfalls

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The waterfall is so tempting

Such power and beauty

The roar of which endlessly echoes

Bouncing throughout the valley

The light mist blowing out from its base

Wrapping your body in coolness

The waterfall can make you want to live

But a part of you has different thoughts

Making you wonder what it would be like

Maybe just let go and jump into nothingness

Would this be the right place

Would it be good for your last moment

Either way the waterfall always inspires

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So long he lived alone

Not seeing his own home

It was nothing important

He saw no beauty whatsoever

Then he met her and fell in love

She saw his home and saw a palace

A place she knew came from fairy tales

When she fell in love, she became his princess

She made him her prince forever more

And they lived happily ever after

You Never Mattered

You Never Mattered

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You have every right to cry

The world has not been good to you

When you should have been playing

You saw the death of everyone you knew

It did not matter that you were there

No, they never cared about you

A little princess like you never mattered

You were just something in the way

Left to die like everyone else

So go ahead and cry as loud as you can

Let them know that you survived

Let them know that you will remember

And that you will be remembered

© Poem – VIII/XIII/MMXXI

 

I Am Waiting

I Am Waiting

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You have been gone for so long

Every day and every night I wait

Watching the street to see you coming

My heart breaks without you

But I have hope to keep me alive

And my love to keep you with me

Her Eyes

Her Eyes

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Her eyes are so different

An enigma hidden in a mystery

Beautiful and lightening

As if she looks right through you

Learning your every secret

Your every lie and every truth

She will love you with her soul

Or dislike everything about you

That is just who she was born to be

So, beware your every move

And she may decide you are worthy

If she does you will never suffer

If not your life will be alone

It is all up to her

And you will have no choice

That is just who she is

A woman of love or a demon of hate

But she is a woman in her heart

She’s someone worth knowing either way

She is a true woman and who could ask for more

Walking The Rails

Walking The Rails

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So long ago

People rode the rails

Hiding in boxcars

Or riding on their tops

Today people still travel the rails

Not running from detectives

While jumping the freights

But so many more miles are covered

Walking in between the steel rails

On wood laid decades ago

Instead of transportation

People do it just for the fun

And to look at the beauty the tracks offer

Evil In The Night

Evil In The Night

By Lord R.e. Taylor

One night

Sometime in your future

Maybe tonight

Or a lifetime from now

Your every fear will appear

Torturing your soul

Turning your world around

Making you forget happiness

But you need not fear

The sun will always rise

The evil will disappear

Only to rise another night

An Island Getaway

An Island Getaway

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Finding a deserted island

Not too far away

Just far away, though

No people meaning no noise

No buildings to block the view

Only a beach and a few trees

And a whole bunch of peace and quiet

It could be the perfect place to hide away

For an hour, a day, or forever

It’s all up to you

© Poem – VIII/VI/MMXXI

 

Emotional Prisoner

Emotional Prisoner

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She has never showed her feelings

Keeping them hidden from the world

Preferring to be alone

Isolated from everyone she knows

She cries the cries no one will hear

Tears fall on a cheek only she knows

A prisoner of her own emotions

© Poem – VII/IV/MMXXI

 

Being Happy

Being Happy

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Children are perfect creatures

They do not understand hatred

Differences are never seen

All a child wants to do is live life

Make as many friends as they can

After all…there is nothing wrong with being happy
