Nature’s Church

Nature’s Church

by Lord R.e. Taylor

A beautiful place

On a warm spring day

Gentle, cool breezes

It is a place for the soul

Nature’s church

Created by a loving God

Being Strange

Being Strange

by Lord R.e. Taylor

What good does it do

Trying to fit in

Knowing that you can't

Yet not knowing why

You may be strange

Or maybe just too different

It doesn't really matter

Just be the strangest you can be

And tell everyone else to kiss your a@@

But make sure you smile when you do

Fly Free

Fly Free

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I have the key

Too long you have been hidden

You will be locked up no longer

So fly free my friends

Share your knowledge

Tell your stories

You have the right to live

A Special Place

A Special Place

by Lord R.e. Taylor

This is the place you have been looking for

Just  close your eyes for a minute

Smell the scents from so many flowers

Let your mind see the flicker of ancient lights

And listen to the sounds of life centuries old

Sadly, they can only be in your heart and mind

Time has taken hold of the beautiful court

Aged it but never touched its beauty

So, it will be there for all eternity

Just as it will always be with you

Letter To Burn, Whiskey To Drown In

Letter To Burn, Whiskey To Drown In

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Every day we shared notes and letters

We talked about our lives and our love

But we had secrets we never spoke of

A strange illness ravishing your body

So much pain and even more suffering

It was a blessing the instant you went away

Even so my heart died before I knew it

Yes, I did try and read your letters

Every one of them but one

I could not even look at the words when you said goodbye

My eyes were crying too much

Still, I knew that one letter would never be seen

It was just a small fire but in less than a minute

That letter was long gone and forgotten

A bottle of whiskey finished off the pain

And, in the end, that was all I needed

Love Under The Flower Moon

Love Under The Flower Moon

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Blessed goddess Selene

Thank you for the gift of your moon

It will be under your light

I will profess my love

A love which began at my birth

Growing throughout my lifetime

I think I always knew who she was

And I knew my life was all hers

But you knew when the moment would be right

It was to be the night of the Flower Moon

So, Blessed Selene if you could bless a poor man

Pause the Moon at its most beautiful point

And give me the chance I have dreamed about

Let me see her smiling lips

Just before our very first kiss

Under the beauty of your precious Moon

You Be You

You Be You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You were never boring

Always living your own way

Never trying to be safe

Screw life and death

You don’t worry about them

As long as you are being you

Doing whatever you want

Whenever you want

You always push the limits

That has always been you

And we love you for it

My True Reality

My True Reality

by Lord R.e. Taylor

My mind may never be perfect

I may not see your true reality

But I do see a strange beauty no one else does

To me, my love, that is the only true reality

Honestly, I wish I could share it with you

A Magical Tribute

A Magical Tribute

by Lord R.e. Taylor

No one knows how long ago it was

We can never know who made it

But someone immortalized a creature

A creature we consider a myth

But then it was a living being

A mighty black dragon

The proudest creature ever created

Remembered a million years later

Found in a chunk of blue stone

Left to prove that magic once existed

And make us wonder if it still does

When We Grew Up

When We Grew Up

by Lord R.e. Taylor

We grew up different

Walking to school every day

No riding on warm busses

Rain, wind or scorching sun

We walked every day

Even through three feet of snow

It was the way we had to live

Making us the who we are today

Proud, strong and ready to face life

And anything it will send to us

Death Of Whales

 Death Of Whales

by Lord R.e. Taylor

They have been here before humans

Swimming the oceans

Majestic and regal

Creatures chosen to rule the sea

But man came to life one day

Killed for their oil and meat

And killed for superstitions

Almost extinct they fought back

Man would not stop the killing

Always creating new ways to murder

No life matters except for man

So their bodies clutter the beaches

Killed for no reason

Just the way man always wanted it

Your Mother’s Love

Your Mother’s Love

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Your mother left long ago

Going to Heaven when you were born

But she loves you for all eternity

She knew she could never say it

So she left you her last kiss

Sealed in a box for the time you were ready

Now that time has come

And you know that she is smiling in Heaven

Now that she has shared her love
