A Special Girl

A Special Girl

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Who knew what you were getting

A beautiful painting

Yes, it should be in a gallery

But it found its way to you

It must have known you were special

You always saw the truth behind pictures

You look beyond the canvas and paint

And you see the world others only imagine

Yeah, the painting knew you were special

And now we know it too

Sitting In Paradise

Sitting In Paradise

by Lord R.e. Taylor

For far too many Summer days

I would spend hours upon hours

Not doing anything important

Rather I would just sit by the Cuyahoga

There were no swimmers and no boats

Just the gentle sound of the water

Maybe a frog or some birds

But most of all it was just quiet

Could I ever find a better paradise

I really don’t think so

But, then again, I am not looking

The Sun Rises

The Sun Rises

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The Sun rises on a new day

A young child climbs from the rubble

Crawling over the bodies of her family

She finds her last loved-one

A teddy bear given her at her birth

Even with her best friend with her

She still feels alone and helpless

And this October 8th is just the first day

Of many lonely days filled with heartache

One Moment

One Moment

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He knows you have only spoken once

It was only just a moment in time

But in that moment he felt something

His heart was no longer his

It was given to you to hold and treasure

It may have been just a moment

But the feeling of his love was real

And it will never ever leave him

Monarch

Monarch

by Lord R.e. Taylor

As the night falls the moon will rise

And the first cold breezes of autumn appear

Some face their new life as a duel with survival

Living in the bareness of metropolitan asphalt

It is only then when the beautiful monarch

Takes a grasp of their own fate

Leaving the grimace of reality behind

Travelling thousands of kilometres

To a land where all lives come together

Animals, plants, and insects fuse into a hybrid

A domain, a home, for all to thrive

And survive a changing world

Legendary Path

Legendary Path

by Lord R.e. Taylor

What kind of history does this place have

Maybe it was just a footpath

Leading between Native American camps

It may even be older than that

Or it may be just a few years old

Either way, it is a site that creates stories

I hope that people still walk down that path

Remembering those who may have traveled before

And maybe they will create stories of their own

So the path will remain alive forever

Be Strange

Be Strange

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It is good to be a smartass

To push the limits

Ignore common sense

Enjoy the little things

And do not obey authority

April 8th

April 8th

by Lord R.e. Taylor

We were warned what was coming

Floods and earthquakes

Increasing human sacrifice

And so many other curses

All of that based on ancient myths

Even so millions of people celebrated

Booking vacations months ahead

Settling anywhere they could find the room

All for a four minute show only we can see

It will reappear in four years and a world away

But no matter what history tells us

There is nothing bringing doom to us all

Just a solar eclipse made to amaze us

And show us the true beauty of the universe

Author’s Words

Author’s Words

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I love reading a book

Seeing where the author takes me

Maybe it’s a different world

Somewhere in another reality

Or maybe somewhere here on Earth

A place that I never imagine existed

Either way I allow my mind to open

I see my reality twist and turn

Their words become my truths

When I walk through their creations

And I am completely amazed

My Little Baby Girl

My Little Baby Girl

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You were my little girl

You were to be all sugar and spice

Frilly dresses and Barbie Dolls

That was before you saw real life

It may have changed you

Some say for the better others for the worse

But, through it all I still see my sweet baby girl

Nature’s Church

Nature’s Church

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Nature opens

The sun shines through

Making a natural church

A place to pray

Thanking God

For the world’s beauty
