A Bouquet Of Carcasses

A Bouquet Of Carcasses

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I must truly, really love you

I know how much roses mean to you

They are the best sign of love there is

So, I will empty my wallet

And you will get the carcasses you love

Just remember that they DID die for you

Only One

Only One

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot believe it

How could they be so stupid

It was always going to happen

Everyone knew it just had to

It may have been silly to think so

But there was always hope

Maybe the old men would quit yelling

Threatening each other over nothing

The thing was no one would stop and think

They had no idea what would happen

Or maybe it was they just didn’t care

Either way only one is left to remember

Only one is left to worry about the Human race

Only one left to mourn

A New Insanity

A New Insanity

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many thoughts at the same time

Terrifying and confusing

They never began and never will stop

A new kind of insanity

One which may never be cured

You

You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I have known you forever

Our lives became one life

My heart is only yours

Well beyond my last breath

I will always love you

Fantasia

Fantasia

by Lord R.e. Taylor

A vicious war ruled the world

Many movies were just propaganda

Telling the world what to think or feel

One movie never used a single word

Yet its eight stories were told

Everyone knew what was happening

And what the artists intended

True, Fantasia did not grow as intended

Changing its vision every few years

It took nearly sixty years to return

And the power of musical stories remained

Haight-Ashbury

Haight-Ashbury

by Lord R.e. Taylor

They were magical moments

Just knowing where you were

Feeling the history all around you

The voices of Jim, Janis, and Jimi

Still echo through the streets

Coming from shops where they lived

As long as Haight-Ashbury exist

Their footsteps will still be heard

Leading a generation which will never die

Too Much

Too Much

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Way too many people

Too much noise

Everything too close

Sadly, I need room

A Rare Moment Alone

A Rare Moment Alone

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Eighteen hours a day, seven days a week

Spent with friends, family, and co-workers

Peace and quiet cannot exist in his world

Every once in a great while a miracle happens

Walking home on a water covered street

He takes his time in a rare moment alone

The World Needs Me

The World Needs Me

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You may have never seen me

But be sure that I am always there

Know that I will not allow anything to happen

Watching you and everything you do

Doing my best to keep you safe

Protecting all my children who live here

Guarding the forest which is my home

That my friends is why I was created

I will always take this job seriously

Because the world will always need me

Drunken Visions

Drunken Visions

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I will never forget

A few too many drinks

Reality disappears

Colours swirl

My world is gone

Finally, the visions fade

Blackness surrounds me

In the morning reality returns

Along with a killer headache

I think I need another drink

A Different Life

A Different Life

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many need all-night parties and drinks

Their bodies crave the adrenaline

They cannot survive without it

Sara was just like that when she was young

But now a book and silence fill her world

Making her body and soul much happier

Beauty In Hell

Beauty In Hell

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She rejoiced when the rain began

Her animals and plants would live

That night Heaven’s dam broke

Gallon after gallon fell

Nothing and no one was left

Their lives were all gone

Yet, when the waters began receding

Only one body was ever found

A beauty untouched by the Hell she had been through

Even in death she gave survivors some hope

She proved that, even in Hell, 

At least some beauty will always remain

Mayhem And Confusion

Mayhem And Confusion

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So much in the world amazes

Just the sight makes you think

Others just make you question

What is real out there

Why are things the way they are

We cannot ever figure them out

Why is there thunder without clouds

Why were platypuses ever created

And why are there so many lonely shoes

It is so sad we will never know

But that is how the world was made

Filled with mayhem and confusion

Just the way we like it
