Winter Is Here

Winter Is Here

By Lord R.e. Taylor

June has come

The first of the month

The death of autumn

Winter’s claws dig in

Strong winds from the west

Antarctic temperatures

Rain forests become refrigerators

Snow arrives in the south

Tees and short pants disappear

And heavy coats come out

Such is June in Australia

But Christmas is a summer holiday

And a good day to go to the beach

Blessed Love

Blessed Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It seems to happen a lot

Two people who never met

They bump into each other

Completely by chance

A few words and a smile

And they are blessed by Venus

A lifetime later they are still in love

That love is shared by a universe

And shared by two special people

God Will Be Watching

God Will Be Watching

By Lord R.e. Taylor

God will be coming to Earth

He will come because He is angry

He has lost His hope for us

He has no patience to take more kids

He does not want any more children in Heaven

They do not deserve to be murdered

They are His gift to us

He wants us to protect them

Cherish them for who they are

And give them a chance to be them

To play, make friends, and be children

Not even one of them deserved to die

So please do whatever you have to do

Protect them no matter where they are

Because God will be watching them

And He will be watching you

She Was All Alone

She Was All Alone

By Lord R.e. Taylor

She remembers that time

Sometime during the night

The door closed and he was gone

She never knew why

But on that night the moon cried

All because, for the first time

She was all alone

The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days

By Lord R.e. Taylor

What happened to days of old

Why did we look away

And why did we never look back

Life was so much more fulfilling

There was no stress and life was slower

Time was never anything to be concerned with

Life passed just as it should

People lived lives with happiness

But that was a long time ago

And no matter how much we want it

It will never, ever come back

We were too far too late

You And Your Magical Guitar

You And Your Magical Guitar

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Sadly, I never got to know you

Through the years I got to know of you

The music you wrote and played

I listened to you each night

How could anyone write such beauty

And not be a beautiful person themselves

Now, you have gone home to the Father

Leaving your magical guitar behind

I am sure your music is with you in Heaven

Changes Will Come

Changes Will Come

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Changes have to come

Things are never perfect

They can always be better

It may not seem so

But the changes will come

They may be a surprise 

Maybe even a shock

However, they are there

They will always be there

There will always be more to come

And there is nothing you can do

Scream

Scream

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It doesn't matter what you do

It doesn't matter what you say

It doesn't matter what you think

There will always be someone out there

Saying that your actions, words, or thoughts

Everything about you is always wrong

At least they are sure that what you do is wrong

You can either give in and cry about it

Or you can stand up and scream that you are right

Scream as long and as hard as you can

Make sure that they can hear you over everything else

No matter how many people say you are wrong

You know you ARE right and that is what matters

You Never Gave a Damn

You Never Gave a Damn

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I am sorry to say it

Your baby depended on you

She heard your voice

And she listened to your music

But you never gave a damn

A doctor dug her out

And put her in the trash

Yeah, she knew you were there

But you never gave a damn

Not Like You

Not Like You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He is not the same as you

Never learned to be quiet

Always he spoke his mind

Even when he got into trouble

So many thought him untouchable

He often stays hidden in his world

Mostly to save his own sanity

Also, to gather his own thoughts

No one else will ever hear them

But he doesn't care about that

He is who he is and that he is right

To him, that is all that matters

A Whole New Vision

A Whole New Vision

By Lord R.e. Taylor

There are so many pictures

Portraits, landscapes, or still-lives

Every one of them has a story

Most times many, many more

Each person will see something different

Sometimes it may just be a small speck

But to that person that speck tells a story

However, that is what an artist does

Creating different realities for different people

And that makes the world go around

Untouched

Untouched

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Such beauty

Miles and miles

Barely touched by man

A place like that is a blessing

One which is fading away

Because man wants change

He is uncomfortable without it

So, drive as far as you can

As often as you can

Enjoy the planet the way it was made

Before it all disappears under new malls

And ever more parking lots

Making it impossible to get it back

Bring The Magic Back

Bring The Magic Back

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Long ago magic was in the world

Everyone believed what they could not see

Then they stopped telling the stories

And the world lost its specialness

But even today the magic tries to survive

Fairies still build small colonies of mushrooms

They all hope that someone will look and believe

Even in today’s troubled world

That would be all it takes to bring magic back

You Are Worth Knowing

You Are Worth Knowing

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Why do looks matter

For some it is the only thing

No one ever has a personality

No traits to be admired

And brains with no thoughts

They live in a warped reality

If you don't have a perfect body

Perfect hair, skin, or eyes

You are not worth getting to know

That is the saddest part of all

You are a beautiful person no one wants to know

But everyone should

You Will Not Be Beaten

You Will Not Be Beaten

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Too many times

Something happens

You just have to say something

Most words do not seem right

Swearing seems to be correct

The word cannot be too wimpy

Nor can it be too strong

So, you practice every word

Trying to find just the right swear word

Eventually you just give up

And ‘gosh darn it’ comes out

Then you just walk away

Knowing that swearing did not beat you

A Moment To Love You

I will wait forever without hope

Just to have a moment to love you

You Needed A Chance

You Needed A Chance

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You will never know your mommy

She never wanted to see your face

She never was going to call your name

She was never going to love you

To her you were just a mistake

Something to be thrown in the trash

You may have been someone special

Someone who could save the world

Or maybe your own baby would be loved

You will never get that chance

To her you never really existed

It is too bad she never got to know you

Maybe she could have loved you

All you needed was a chance

Nature’s Art

Nature’s Art

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It is a piece of art

Not made by an artist

Designed by nature

It is pure perfection

Petals of the brightest red

And the scent of Heaven

It is admired and loved by many

But sadly, it never lasts long

Turning into dust as it ages

It simply blows away

Never to be seen again

The Children Will Play

The Children Will Play

By Lord R.e. Taylor

People are learning

Children are not fragile

Finally, they should be allowed to play

To roughhouse with friends

Yeah, they’ll get some bruises

Maybe some cuts or injured bones

But everything will heal

The kids will always go back

And play some more

That One Instant

That One Instant

By Lord R.e. Taylor

One instant in time

It may not happen right away

Odds are it will take a while

Love may not be immediate

The chemistry may not be there

But as time passes by

It will find its way in

That instant will eventually happen

Your eyes will meet

Or it may come from a touch

It could be from something you say

Suddenly it will happen and you are in love

That one instant will be well worth the wait

If you can find your love with the right one
