Nadya’s Memories

Nadya’s Memories

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Nadya was such a sweet girl

Every Sunday was her special day

Going into Kyiv with her mom and dad

Starting with a picnic in the park

She played with her friends from school

Then they watched as the city lights came to life

But all of that is sadly gone

Her mom and dad are no longer with her

Killed by the dreams of an evil madman

But every Sunday she goes to the park

But the lights are no longer shining

So, she stands alone surrounded by flames

She is surrounded by the stench of death

All because someone she never met took everything

Everything except that sweet little girl

She is the only one left who will remember

Just how a city could make her life happy

Even if just for a little while

Taylor Needs Her Men

Taylor Needs Her Men

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Taylor,  yes you are special

Rich, talented and beautiful

You have recorded many songs

Mostly about men who have dumped you

Without them your career disappears

And you would be back with your Barbies

So, next time you write a song

Think carefully before you do the lyrics

It may not be the men who still think about you

It is you who cannot stop thinking about them

And good luck with the next man you sleep with

He may be the one to get you back on the charts

The World Of A Fallen Angel

The World Of A Fallen Angel

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He was the whole other world

So many dark, shadowy corners

Places of lost prayers and wishes

Where nightmares become real

And happy dreams cannot exist

Full of demons and fallen angels

It is not a place for mortals to go

Cast there before the universe began

It became who he always wanted to be

Slowly becoming him and he became it

Souls made inseparable for all time

He will be around for all eternity

Just as he wished

Normal Is Not You

Normal Is Not You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

We all can see one thing

Normal is not your word

You do not like it

You never have

And you never will

That is just who you are

Different from everyone else

We would not love you any other way

Gift From Azraelle

Gift From Azraelle

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Far back in the forest

Where light never reaches

And people can never travel

Azraelle planted one flower

It grew and came into flower

Never sending out its children

It was a solo miracle

Living eternally all alone

Created to protect her people

A gift from the Goddess Of Life

Dedicated To PM Justin Trudeau

Dedicated To PM Justin Trudeau

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It used to be a beautiful country

Friendly, loving people everywhere

People who cared about everyone

And would never harm another person

The Covid Virus came

And the Nazis took over

Lead by an infantile fake Hitler

The innocent people are beaten

Arrested and their money stolen

Women and children are left to starve

All because the broke their government’s rules

But when elections come around

Citizens can vote them out

And the innocents can be free once again

Children’s Smiles

 

Children’s Smiles

By Lord R.e. Taylor

All they have to do is smile

Everyone loves them

When I Die

When I Die

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is hard not to wonder

What it would be like

When your heart stops

You can't take in needed air

Still your mind works

Knowing what is happening

Trying to understand events

But not being able to question

Just laying there dying

Finally, even your mind fades

And in that instant

When everything is gone

You simply cease to exist

The Reward Of Patience

The Reward Of Patience

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Patience is a virtue

Waiting to get things just right

She did that so many times

Waiting for just the right shot

She was willing to take a year

Day after day

Sunrise until sunset

Watching for the right light

The right clouds and perfect weather

When it happens, she takes just one shot

It is the perfection her patience created

Listen To The Young Ones

Listen To The Young Ones

By Lord R.e. Taylor

What do the young ones know

They never see color

Nor do they care about lives

Or even what species they meet

All they see is a possible friend

Only when grown-up get involved

Speaking their bigotry and hate

Only then does everything matter

And everything changes for the worst

The world may be a much better place

If only everyone would listen to the young ones

They seem to be the ones who know best

Make The Right Choice

Make The Right Choice

By Lord R.e. Taylor

At the split in the path

You face a fork

One well walked and worn

One grown over and unused

You want to choose the worn one

Make the better choice though

Walk the way no one travels

Find a whole new world

Beautiful and colourful

A land of the purest magic

Just make the choice no one makes

And all the happiness can be yours

Love After Life

Love After Life

By Lord R.e. Taylor

When we first met

My heart skipped

My breathing changed

And I fell deeply in love

I knew that my life would be yours

My love would last my entire life

I never knew it would last longer

Far beyond the end of my life

Know that it will never end

I will love you for eternity and beyond

I just want you to know that

I Am Just Me

I Am Just Me

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I may be strange

I may be different

But I don't want to be rich

I don't want to be famous

I am who I want to be

Just a normal type of person

No ego or pretence 

Just a friend you can talk to

A buddy to have a beer with

Or just hang out and look at girls

In other words, just a freaking guy

Not Now

Not Now

By Lord R.e. Taylor

No, No, No

It is too early

I just closed my eyes

You are lying

It cannot be time yet

No way

Just leave me be

And be here tomorrow

Sing, Dance, And Laugh

Sing, Dance, And Laugh

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The world may suck

Life is not what you want

But you are still you

With your hopes and dreams

And a killer smile

So, when things are wrong

Wait for a rainstorm to come

Rush outside into the middle of it

Sing, dance and laugh

Be yourself and enjoy

And tell the world two simple words

‘BITE ME’ seems the right choice

Say it and mean it

I promise you will feel better

Nothing Else

Nothing Else

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It doesn’t matter

If we kiss or cuddle

If we make love

Or if we just sit and talk

If we are together

And if we are happy

Nothing else matters

As long as we love each other

And we are one forever

There is nothing else

Valentine’s Day’s Letters

Valentine’s Day’s Letters

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He has a handwritten letter 

Written years ago when he was a boy

A special letter to someone special

He wrote it on Valentine's Day

Asking his secret love to be his

But it was never delivered

He just kept it locked away

He never worked up the courage

But he didn't know that she wrote a letter

She also wrote it on Valentine's Day

It spoke of her love for that young man

But it was never delivered

So, they both missed out on love

All on a Valentine's Day

My Poems Are You

My Poems Are You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There is one day I hate

Well, not really

I write so many poems

Every time I type a word

You are in my heart

All I write is for only you

So, when Valentine’s Day comes

Even though we are far apart

Remember how much I love you

Know that you are a part of me

And you always will be

Changes

Life changes

People change

Sometimes a new place is best

Just someplace different

For a brand new life

Protector

Protector

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Birds are the most beautiful

Appearances and songs

They are signs of perfection

As harmless as they are

They just as defenseless

Prey for any other beings

The gods decided that was wrong

Such creatures needed protection

They chose a strong powerful woman

Gave her everything she needed

Releasing her into the world of nature

She protects the weakest of creatures

Safe from the dangers of animals and man

She is the answer to their prayers

And they each have a place in her heart

© Poem – II/VI/MMXXII

 

The Woman I Love

The Woman I Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I wait all night

Watching for morning

When I notice you awaken

Only then may I look at you

Loving the sparkle in your eyes

The beauty of the smile I want to see

I gaze upon the woman I fell in love with

The woman I will always love

Even if she wakes up as a grump

Tabloid Beauty

Tabloid Beauty

By Lord R.e. Taylor

No one thought you weren’t real

The subject of so many dreams

But no one ever met you

No one ever talked to you

And no one has ever seen you

But so many people know you

Your stories and secrets

Your likes, your dislikes, and your loves

All told in tabloids you would never read

Is it safer for a beauty like you to be quiet

Or should you become a real woman

And you should speak your mind

That is all up to you and who you want to be

© Poem – II/III/MMXXII

The Raven

The Raven

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You so love taking souls

How do you decide which to take

What makes one soul more than others

It seems that you don’t really choose

Why don’t you just admit it

You take anyone who meets you

So, you are just a host to bad luck

Just ask anyone who runs into a raven

If they still have their souls that is

Which would be doubtful going by history

That Child

That Child

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Every family has one

A child unlike the rest

One who does things for fun

Not care what anyone thinks

That child may be the one to save the world
