Your Real Love

Your Real Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I am really surprised I didn’t see it

You never needed to find a man

 It is easy to see now that you knew all the time

You figured out something very few people know

The truest love you can find can show up anytime

Even when you hold your first furry friend close

That love you both will have can never be beaten

And we all know that the two of you will last forever

Just the way love is supposed to be

He Is Leaving

He Is Leaving

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Seeing what man has done

Never realizing the hated that was born

Brothers killing brothers

All for the stupidest of reasons

Is there any doubt why He turned His back

We should have seen it coming

Will He ever come back to us

There is very little chance of that

We lost that possibility a very long time ago

He has more important things to do

And we just don’t matter anymore

The Helpful Man

The Helpful Man

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He was a unique kind of man

Always thinking about others

Helping any way he could

Even if it left him with nothing

No one ever hurt around him

But when the time came

When he was left with nothing

Not one person was there to help

No one even offered him a penny

They just turned their backs

But he was still a happy man

He did all that he could for everybody

And that was who he was

The only decent man he knew

And he was proud of that

Fire

Fire

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Looking at you

I see your fight

Clawing to get out

Sadly, it is hopeless

His Silent Love

His Silent Love

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He didn't always know what to do 

Just trying was difficult 

But he knew that he loved her 

And that he wanted her in his life

He just could never find the words 

So he stays his distance from her 

Silently knowing he has loved her 

And he always will

The Ancient Walkway

The Ancient Walkway

by Lord R.e. Taylor

There is no way to know for sure

How old that ancient walkway is

But you cannot help to feel inspired

The first time you take a step

Who could have walked here

What history does it hold inside

Could you be walking in the steps of Christ

Or a survivor  of The Battle Of Cannae

Maybe it just held members of families

There is no way to know for sure

But it will rock your world by guessing

Windless

Windless

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It may be scary

Out on a lake in a sailboat

And the wind just dies

Treasure that time of complete silence

The world will go on

And you could not care less

Living All Alone

Living All Alone

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Raised with a massive family

He had so many brothers and sisters

The family stopped counting at six

Maybe there were more...nobody knew

He had to fight to watch television

To get food he liked or even new clothes

But now he lives a quiet life all alone

And he misses every damn one of them

All You Need To Know

All You Need To Know

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many “experts” write books

How to do this and how to do that

You know, “The Idiots Guide To Whatever”

They may help some people

Others think of them as jokes

To be ridiculed and laughed at

But no one has ever written the right book

It should be titled “All You Need To Know”

A book of knowledge we all need to know

Things we know we should say

How we should behave when things happen

Basically, how to be us

Not even a better us

Just how to be us

Maybe I will just go check in the bookstores

But I do not think anyone has had the guts to write it

Never Ending

Never Ending

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It has been so long since we talked

I dream of every kiss we ever shared

Everything I looked into your eyes

And every moment of the life we shared

I just wish I knew then that it would all end

I would have told you a million times over

The only thing my heart really wanted you to know

I love you every minute, every day and every year

Take The Side Roads

Take The Side Roads

by Lord R.e. Taylor

My father always said

Take the straightest route

It is always the safest way to go

Trod by all sensible people

I found that yes, it may be safe

And well trodden by everyone else

The most beautiful scenery

And the most interesting people

Are always on the side roads

Waiting for the people who are like them

Those special ones who take detours in life

It Will Happen

It Will Happen

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I hate to say it

I even hate to think it

But it will happen someday

With the way the world is

It just has to

The people who lead us

They are quickly working toward WW3

It will not be fought with soldiers

No one will fire a gun

All it will take is a finger on a button

Oh yeah, and a twisted mind

No one will survive the missiles

So, who will win and who will lose

No one and everyone

So, when you have the chance

Use YOUR finger to choose good leaders

Only then everyone will live

Change Your World

Change Your World

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Sometimes things do not look right

Things may be missing

Or they may just look wrong

If you feel that way sometimes

Maybe you can change things

Create a more perfect world

All you need is a place where you are happy

Some untouched imagination

Then you can have the beauty you want

And a world that you deserve
