The Ghost Bride

The Ghost Bride

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She was truly in love

With a man she knew forever

They finally set a date

A special day to become one

The fates decided that they knew better

Taking her soul as she approached the alter

Centuries later she still wears virginal white

Wandering through her graveyard

Looking for the love she lost

Her Blue Eyes

Her Blue Eyes

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He never had to talk to her

There was something special

He felt it with a minute of their meet

There was something though

Something which frightened him

He saw her eyes looking at him

There he saw ice colder that any before

It felt as if she was looking deep into him

Beyond his soul into everything he was

But he knew that there had to be more

Maybe a fire burning in her heart

And he knew that if he could find it

They could both find something they wanted

He believed they could fall into an eternal love

If he could just get passed her eyes

To Call Or Not To Call

To Call Or Not To Call

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Should she call him

Or should she not

There is so much to say

Too much to keep silent

But not she sits and waits

Scared to make a decision

Nothing ever gets said

And she never finds love

The Woman She Was

The Woman She Was

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She was so beautiful when she was young

Living a life others only dreamed about

Everyone was there for her every wish

Then time caught up with her

Her life changed and everyone left

The life she had lived only in her memories

And the hundreds of pictures she kept

The only things she has of the woman she used to be

The Story In Our Mind

The Story In Our Mind

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot stop looking at the picture

No idea how old it is

Where it was taken

Or who these two women were

What story do they tell

That is all up to me and you

They become characters in our mind

Their story becomes ours to tell

And we truly get to know these women

Even if it’s only in our minds

Heroes Of This Century

Heroes Of This Century

by Lord R.e Taylor

So many people lost everything

Some died all alone

Others lost their livelihoods

There were some who were too strong

They would not let the virus win

Most lived their lives through it

Refusing to die or give up on everything

They will never be mourned

But they will be remembered

They are the true heroes of this century

Your Own Paradise

Your Own Paradise

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It took so much serious planning

And just as much raw imagination

Drawing designs on a napkin

After just a few dozen hours of labor

Surrounded by flowers and trees

A paradise created just for you

Out Of Time

Out Of Time

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You are a child of the millennium

Just a mere twenty-two years old

But you look so out of place

Maybe a bit out of time

A beauty right out of the 1940’s

Still, you are here

Eighty Years too late

With a perfect beauty to be admired

Explosion Of Color

Explosion Of Color

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Only in the autumn season

When the weather changes

From the heat of summer

Into the coldness of winter

The sun creates explosions

Making colors so bright 

They are truly beyond description

Sadly, they last only a few days

The colors fade into browns

And the browns are covered in white

But alas, for those few short days

The sun creates the most beautiful picture

Luckily we were there to see it

...And She Reads

...And She Reads

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It doesn’t matter what she reads

She has to escape from her life

Her family and friends

For a short time they do not matter

She sits alone on a peaceful lake

But she never stays in one place

The book takes her anywhere she wants

The rest she does in her own mind

Where characters become real

And the stories are always true

A Single Star

A Single Star

by Lord R.e. Taylor

In the first hour of daylight

I look at the newly born sun

In the last hour of daylight

You are a half of a world away

But you look at the same sun as it falls asleep

And at that moment my heart flies to you

And your soul flies to me

Our lives are so far apart

But at that single moment

We are closer together than we ever have been

The two of us looking at a single star

Even though it is millions of miles away

It still brings our two loving souls together

Halloween Is Here

Halloween Is Here

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Fly my children

Travel across the world

But do no harm

Let everyone know

Our day is coming

That day will be magic

Children reveling in the streets

Laughing, playing, and dancing

Collecting treasure in empty pillowcases

So fly my children

Spread the word

Tell everyone of our plans

But never do any harm

A celebration is coming

The Halloween season is here

Pleasure And Pain

Pleasure And Pain

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You probably don’t know me

And maybe you won’t want to

But, I can be your most pleasant dreams

Or I can be your worst nightmare

A princess of pleasure and pain

All built into my body and soul

Taking your chances is up to you

Your survival is up to me

So, I dare you to talk to me

The risk may be worth it

Forever Kiss

Forever Kiss

A unique, loving couple

One single kiss, which started when we met

Lasting for so many years

We share a kiss which will last forever

The Friend She Needed

The Friend She Needed

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She was raised not to trust people

They would take her secrets and use them

So she spent her time alone in her room

Until she finally one friend who she could trust

A wild bird who she saw from her bedroom

A jet black angel with a heart of gold and the love she needs

A Grown-up Fairy Land

A Grown-up Fairy Land

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Just before November snows

There is a month of candy and ghosts

A favorite of all children thoughout the land

Do parents know that really doesn’t matter

They drive so many miles every weekend

Looking for a treasure nature provides

On every tree, in every field, and on every road

Golds, yellows, reds, and oranges

Pumpkins, haystacks, and beautiful sunsets

October becomes a fairy land created for adults

Her Place

Her Place

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Every year beginning the day she was born

She appears on the edge of her special place

There to celebrate her single day

No one goes with her

She would never allow that

It is her place and her time

A place to share her dreams and wishes

And just a few moments to be her

My Delicious Destiny

My Delicious Destiny

My soul burning with resolve

And I will promise you one thing

You will never be able to hurt me again

Don’t You Dare

Don’t You Dare

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It has been a very long time

The world has changed so much

Don’t you ever dare not accept everything

The rules have changed and not for the better

You cannot believe anything you hear

Governments tell you what you can see

Many even tell you what to think

You are supposed to cover your eyes

Plug up your ears and gag your mouth

All in an effort to keep you stupid

Live your whole life without asking questions

And never believe any answers you hear

The governments want it that way

That way they keep their job

And all of their millions

The Cascade Of Flowers

The Cascade Of Flowers

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Dreamed about by a community

Planted on a Spring afternoon

Watered and cared for

Its beauty is beyond description

A cascade of falling flowers

With more colors than a rainbow

It will be loved and admired

So many when they stop by

Sadly for but a short time

Then it will be gone until Spring comes

And the cascade of flowers is planted again

The Blessing Of Charcoal

The Blessing Of Charcoal

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He saw her sitting alone on a windy bench

A beauty the likes of which he had never seen

Grabbing a stick he burned the tip

Making the best tool an artist could have

The charcoal from the stick moved easily

Capturing the woman’s visage perfectly

How Could I Not Love You

How Could I Not Love You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot believe we found each other

Knowing each other through a million texts

Words which show me a woman who I need

One full of affection and passion

But I can see you through a hundred photos

Your eyes show a woman full of love and hope

And your smile shows your love of life

With everything which makes you you

How could I not fall in love with you

Fairy Tale Castle

Fairy Tale Castle

by Lord R.e. Taylor

There is a palace

Built on top of a cliff

So many questions remain

Is there a princess in your tower

Maybe one with long blonde hair

An evil stepmother wandering the halls

Are you guarded by medieval knights

Or a dragon hiding within your walls

You know there are stories

Telling about your true history

And even more myths are shared

However, none of that matters

You are a landmark for your country

Architecture to be admired

Hopefully a place which will last forever
