Shadows Of Darkness



Shadows Of Darkness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Every shadow

Living in darkness

Hiding from the vicious light

They thrive and grow

Existing in a world they chose


Killing My Things



Killing My Things

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

So many things

Not one of them important

But all seem serious

They fill my mind

Leaving no room for anything else

However, in all my years

I have learned many things

How to shut my mind away

Lock out the rest of everything

So my mind goes away

Then I spend the day drinking

So, all those things are gone

And I am better for it

Laziness



Laziness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

I’m just sitting here

Not doing anything

Not even planning anything

It’s just one of those days

Nothing is important

I just want to close my eyes

And really not give a damn

Maybe tomorrow will be different

At least I’ll do something positive

I just may change my socks

That’ll be good enough I think

At least for one day


Son Of Every Son



Son Of Every Son

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

I am the son of thousands of sons

Each sharing part of themselves

Building blocks which created me

Slaves and slave holders

Soldiers fighting bloody wars

And peacemakers getting the wars to stop

I am part of so many sons

Rich and poor

Royalty and peasant

White, black, brown, and yellow

They are all parts of me

They are all parts of all of us

The Beauty Of Birds


The Beauty Of Birds

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

What’s going on

Birds of all kinds

Lorikeets, crows, and pigeons

All gathering in a single tree

Screaming, chirping, and cooing

Making so much noise windows shake

And the clouds run for cover

It doesn't make sense

No one knows anything

Except that it is loud and annoying

But, it is nature and that makes it beautiful


Living A Fantasy



Living A Fantasy

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Everything we ever had

Everything we ever were

It all comes back to me

All I need is a picture

Or a word sent on my screen

I know that you are still there

The love I lost so many evers ago

But my heart still beats for only you

My dreams still run wild

And I find you in my arms again

Sharing our first kiss

Sadly, it is all just a fantasy

A dream which may never come true

Then again...who knows


A Strayan Journey


A Strayan Journey

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Say goodbye to the city lights

Just start the car and get driving

It doesn’t matter where the road goes

Just as long as the asphalt is behind me

I only want to see dirt roads

As many small towns as I can find

Where true Strayan bogans live

Maybe find myself  a larrikin or two

Take my time to hear some Accadacca

Have me a few coldie’s

And shoot through for Woop Woop

If I decide that that may be a better place

Which I doubt

His Lonely Life

His Lonely Life by Lord R.e. Taylor He knew it would happen Always living  alone No friends or family visited But that never bothered him He...
