Temple Of The Trees

Temple Of The Trees

By R.e. Taylor

Take a walk through a temple

A cathedral a thousand years old

Reaching up to the Heavens

With a roof of shimmering green

Shading the sun from the floor

Just enough light for grasses and flowers

It creates its own kind of beauty

Unmatched in any church built by man

Blessed By The Gods

Blessed By The Gods

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I never thought we’d meet

A beautiful woman with a killer smile

We have only talked a few times

But with every word I fell in love

I could only hope you did too

Still, every minute I look in your eyes

And I realize that you are no ordinary woman

You are really Aphrodite come to Earth

Sent by the gods to make one mam happy

I know that I am lucky enough to be that man

And I know that it is only you that I love

The woman I will love forever

Your Special Cake

Your Special Cake

By Lord R.e. Taylor

For sixty-five years

You have read many books

So, when your day came

There was only one cake

Too bad you cannot read it

But it tastes great

Love Your Life

Love Your Life

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Floating down a river

Forests on either side

Slow waters, rapids, and waterfalls

Maybe an animal or two

Every turn is a new experience

So, sit back and just relax

Take everything in

And, for the moment, love your life

Hidden Sadness

Hidden Sadness

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You must have hidden your sadness

Few have ever seen your smile

Still your heart has lost so much

So many have passed before you

Some never got to say goodbye

Sadly, your eyes can no longer cry

So, now your heart bleeds

Covering the clothes you wear

And it flows into the world around you

Letting all know of the suffering within you

So maybe we can all cry for you

Anubus

Anubus

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You look like a dog

You may think like a dog

But you are so much more

Some fear you because of who you are

Where you come from

But you can come for me

I am not afraid of you

I am not afraid of where you come from

So come and take my hand

Escort me to the afterlife

I might just like it

Hidden Nightmares

Hidden Nightmares

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Nightmares are forever

Hiding in the back of your mind

Watching and learning your fears

Studying your worst memories

Watching and waiting

Looking for the right moment

When you are the weakest

When your defences are the lowest

Only then will they reveal themselves

Driving you ever closer to insanity’s edge

But even though you know they are there

They will fear you if you don't acknowledge them

You tell yourself that you are the stronger

Only then will they cower in their shadows

And maybe you can even get a good night's sleep
