We Will Never Behave

We Will Never Behave

by Lord R.e. Taylor

My mom always said to behave

She raised us as young ladies

I guess we never listened

We became the strange ladies

The ones everybody talked about

The one who forgot how to behave

So we live our lives without limits

Realising life is too much fun

And that we can never ever die

Because God does not want us

And the Devil is afraid of us

After all, we might just take over

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
