The Real, Hidden You

The Real, Hidden You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You never know who you are

Always too awkward

Always too shy around everyone

Maybe it is how you were raised

You never see what people see in you

Someday, not too far away

You may meet your own Prince Charming

And the world will get her dearest gift

The you who everyone has been waiting for

Save Us Again

Save Us Again

By Lord R.e. Taylor

God sent you to us

You were chosen to save the Earth

Now you just sit and wait

Maybe people no longer see you

Maybe they just don’t know they do

Hopefully you will always be there

Waiting until the world needs you

Well, we need you now

Again, the world is ending

So, please don’t wait too long

And you are our only hope

Please Do Not Give Up

Please Do Not Give Up

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Please do not give up on us yet

We know what we are doing

Killing ourselves and killing others

Please give us another chance

Mother Nature’s Sculpture

Mother Nature’s Sculpture

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Mother Nature lowered her finger

Touching the world

Making sculptures

Making sure that they are safe

Until Spring too soon returns 

And, sadly, it reclaims the world again

Yet, I still have no pence

His Mountain Paradise

His Mountain Paradise

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He always heard stories

Mostly fairy tales

About a boy and his sheep

Far up in the mountains

Just him and his thought

With his friends in his paradise

Reaching Out

Reaching Out

By Lord R.e. Taylor

How long has it been

I never forgot you

The times we walked together

When the sunset brightened your eyes

And everything made you smile

Our fingers wrapped together

Through that we became an us

Now, I can no longer hold your hand

Still, whenever I walk, wherever I walk

I reach out for your hand but, it is never there

And I know, in my heart, that it never will be

His Heaven

His Heaven

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Ever since childhood

He walked in the summer sun

Hours or days at a time

Rain nor shine nor even night

Nothing ever stopped him

He knew that fantasies were real

Lands of brilliant colours

Filled with fairies and imps

He walked on the day God took him

Maybe, he must have finally found it

The land he knew was there

His version of Heaven

Our First Kiss

Our First Kiss

Shared with love

Beginning our future

So The Rain Fell

So The Rain Fell

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So many years without rain

Daddy prayed every day

Hoping that God would send a miracle

First the crops died in the field

The animals went right after that

Mama went last summer

But she loved us and gave us a gift

A single drop of water to give us hope

The day before God let the rain fall

I am sure that Mama had something to do with it

For some reason God always listened to her

And she always loved us

So, the rain fell, and everything became right

Don’t Fear The Night

Don’t Fear The Night

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Do not fear the night

It cannot hurt you

But I do live in the darkness

You could never imagine a worse monster

Nature’s Beat

Nature’s Beat

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Rain falls

Playing music

On umbrellas

On the ground

Nature’s rhythmic beat

I Will Be There

I Will Be There

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I can feel your fears building inside of you

The sound of your cries is all I can hear

I need you to know that I am still here

Heaven knows how much you mean to me

So, no matter how long we are apart

My love will always be there to protect you

Love’s Lost Poetry

Love’s Lost Poetry

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Every poet has secrets

Loving words written

But will never be seen

Written as a symbol of love

For a special person in their life

They may be long gone

Taken away by time unforgiving

They may be next to them

Sharing their lives and their love

The words are ones not to be shared

Poetry locked away in antique chests

Only known to a few old pieces of paper

Eternity Never Comes

Eternity Never Comes

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She left so long ago

A promise was made

She would return one day

Never saying when

Just sometime in eternity

The nights come and go

With cool air and fog

But she never arrives

Eternity never comes

One Step

One Step

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Many went before

Never so young

One step

Gone forever

Changing A Colour

Changing A Colour

By Lord R.e. Taylor

A colour is quickly dying

The world does not fear it

Many simply will hate it

Even more just laugh at it

It was the one chosen by many

It has hurt so many over time

Many more to come soon

The colour must be muted

Morphed into an entirely different hue

Only then the world will be better

The pain we all feel will stop

And hopefully we will survive

Dedicated to the winners

Treasures On The Beach

Treasures On The Beach

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Two steps may not be enough

One step may be too many

Shiny treasures across the beach

A bit of luck

And treasure will be yours
