Waiting

Waiting

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Back when I was a puppy

I ran around and never rested

We used to play in the yard

Chasing balls and bones you threw

We’d walk everywhere we could

Most time I wasn't on a leash

You know I never ran away though

That was really not too long ago

Now I am an old man

But I still wait quietly for you

Hoping we can go out again

Just one more time 

Before the Rainbow Bridge calls

Auroral Beauty

Auroral Beauty

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Nature can really put on a show

Some we can see every day

Others are more magical

They are literally at the end of the world

Every night space and the Earth merge

Creating sheets of light which fill the sky

Each one more beautiful than the last

Sadly, everyone has seen pictures

But only a few have ever seen the show

That is truly a crime of interstellar propositions

A One In A Million Picture

A One In A Million Picture

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The world was created so long ago

Billions of years passed

Life came and life went

Each generation better than the last

But some things had to wait

Just the right flower

Blooming at just the right moment

Where the right person happened to be

Then a one in a million picture was taken

And a visual treasure was created

No Goodbye

No Goodbye

by Lord R.e. Taylor

After so long it has come

My final day and my final night

No more sunrises or moonfalls

I have faced everything you sent my way

Fought with every ounce of my being

Even with that my universe keeps getting worse

Now I stand on the edge of an abyss

Looking down into what I feel is hell

I know that if I take one step and it is over

I also know that I will never say goodbye

My universe doesn’t even deserve that word

Your Reality

Your Reality

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The picture is always different

You see what you see

That is your reality

Morning Is Broken

Morning Is Broken

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Laying in bed

Right when the sun first rises

Again sleep evades you

Kind of taunting you

Teasing your tired body with hope

While a thousand thoughts fill your head

Most make no sense but some are priceless

And they are the ones you forget

It is not your fault, it never was

It is all just a warped game

Created at the beginning of time

Designed to drive us slightly mad

It has been perfected over time

A punishment the human race must endure

And endure we will

Endure we must

If we can just stay sane for a bit longer

Moonlight In Their Tears

Moonlight In Their Tears

by Lord R.e. Taylor

They never knew what was coming

The moon shone down on them

Reflecting in their shared tears

In that dim light they saw

What had been long missing

And they fell in love

Two Sides Of Poetry

Two Sides Of Poetry

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Most poetry is born of light

Love, prosperity and hope

Poets hope to make people happy

Creating fantasy in their minds

Others see a differing world

Writing of darkness and the abyss

No caring about what people are feeling

Their desire is to tell the truth

And let the world be damned if they don’t like it
