Talking To Her Love

Talking To Her Love

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Her loss was almost too much

Losing her husband after a few days

Since then, she has been in mourning

Dreaming of her one true love

Still, even after all this time

She carries her priceless wedding ring

Holding it as close as she can

Silently sharing her heart with her true love

And knowing that he is doing the same for her

Doorway To Paradise

Doorway To Paradise

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The gods created so much

Places of total darkness

Some do not allow humans to wander

Others show hidden realities

Things some may wish to see

But there are some places way way back

Where the gods created passages

Magical doorways leading to other places

Places of sunshine and brightness

Where the human soul may live in peace

The perfect gift from the gods who love us

I

I

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I am just nine years old

I should be playing and learning in school

I am not ready to be a wife or mother

So, can you please allow me to grow up

I want to become the woman I know I can be

If you would just give me the chance

You Are My Smile

You Are My Smile

By Lord R.e. Taylor

How did I know what you would do

How you would change me

Taking a tired old man who lived for work

Never smiling and never laughing

Refusing to enjoy anything life offered

As far as I knew, that was all I was

Just a sad, tired old man

But you brought light to my eyes

Showed me what I was missing

And taught me to enjoy what was offered

Because you are the you who loves life

I have fallen deeply in love with you

I know that you will see that in my smile

It is all yours for the rest of forever

The Alarm

The Alarm

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I am a god in my own mind

Traveling the universe nightly

Meeting famous and infamous people of history 

Then I awaken when the alarm rings

I am lying in my bed with only my dreams

And my time in the universe to remember

The Final Bomb

The Final Bomb

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It all began on a Sunday morning

Suddenly, life on Earth began to die

Famine, disease, and many other reasons

When it all ended only one man existed

One man to tell the entire story

He walked onto a nearby abandoned road

The final bomb went off

Watching the explosion, he yelled

“The rotten bastards finally did it.”

Then he fired a single shot into his head

And humankind no longer existed on the planet

Me From Long Ago

Me From Long Ago

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The time has finally arrived 

There are fewer years ahead

Then there are years behind

Time has done so much

Made it hard to do some things

Takes some names and dates away

It can make me doubt what is real

Accepting the fantasies of my mind

I do not like what I have become

I do not like what adulting has done

Wish all I want it will not change

The me of ages ago is gone

And he will never, ever return

We Become Us

We Become Us

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The day may not have been perfect

Maybe it was because we were apart

But once the night comes

When the candles come out

That is when we become us

And the love between us grows

My Own Coffin

My Own Coffin

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I am right where I want to be

No windows and no doors

Black surrounds me on every side

Just me with my final thoughts

Before you wonder, I have been planning

Dreaming about this for a long time

No one ever gave a damn about me

And I never cared for anyone else

So, don’t you dare cry for me

Just make this room my coffin

Then just leave me to my rest

Not that you would ever visit anyway

A Little Magic

A Little Magic

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Little kids are so perfect

Innocent and curious

They look at everything with wonder

Even if they do not know what they see

They just take it all in

And every piece of it becomes their lives

Then the adults come into their lives

Teaching them to not accept everything

Suddenly, that sweet, innocent child

Well, suddenly their innocence is gone

Their world loses its magic

And they become...well...us

That is a change that we should never allow

We need to find a way to get our children back

Maybe allow them to keep just a little innocence

And let them see the magic they so loved

Then, maybe, the next generation will be happy

And their lives may be a little bit better

The Paradise He Created

The Paradise He Created

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I felt His hand on my shoulder

He was giving me a chance I never wanted

Giving me all of His powers

He left me alone to think

Honestly, it did not take me long to decide

I saw what His children had created

I saw what His children ha destroyed

And I knew what I had to do

I never said a word as I waved my hand

In that instant, all human life disappeared

Everything humans had created was turned to dust

And every single animal was allowed to thrive

Yes, I was God for just one day

But I made the Earth what it was meant to be

The paradise He created

Not Quite Such A Good Day

Not Quite Such A Good Day

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Today is going to be good

Not too hot or cold

No rain or snow

Could it be any better

I know I have stuff to do

A hell of a lot of stuff to do

But that hammock looks awfully good

Yeah, that and a big glass of beer

That could only make a good day better

I guess all that work can wait

Tomorrow ain't going to be so good

So, I will just do everything then

That is, unless the old lady catches me

Then today will be the perfect day to get everything done

At least that is what she says

And she is always right... ain't she

I Hate Mice

 I Hate Mice

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I know I am brave

As big as I am 

Nothing can hurt me

I heard it

I never saw it

I knew it was there

I could not get away

I really hate mice

A Perfect Day

A Perfect Day

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It is the perfect time of day

No other person in sight

Calm breezes and silent trees

Just me and my best friend

Sharing our time together

Just as the Universe has deemed for us

We will walk together every day

And that makes every day a perfect day

Waiting For You

Waiting For You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

That clock has to be wrong

It says you have only been gone for a few minutes

But you have been gone for days or maybe weeks

Maybe you are never coming back

Then comes a familiar noise from the driveway

You did make it home, and we are happy

His Only Love

His Only Love

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Lying in the dark, waiting

His mind thinks of you

The times you both spoke

When you walked in the rain

Remembering your first kiss

And the first time he said he loved you

But something bad happened

You had a life that you wanted

And he had a life that he wanted

Sadly, your lives were not together

Something had happened

Moving between you and driving you apart

Just you know that he does still love you

And he still wishes that life had kept you together

Please know that when the darkness comes

He lies silently and thinks of you

The only woman he had ever loved

And the only woman he will ever love
