    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poems from the lighter and surprisingly very romantic side of this poet's nature. It also includes some very amusing reflections on his life as a writer and poet, and his thoughts on family, children, and the stunning beauty of nature and all that surrounds us. As a poet, he reminds us of truths that we all so easily ignore and sometimes even forget. Fortunately this unique and sincere poet reminds us of the great beauty of life. That we find on each page of this intriguing and romantic book of poems. .

    Included in the poems are his deep personal feelings and thoughts on “love” which includes poems on love lost, love won, and loved longed for. These verses brilliantly provide us with honest and deep Poetic truths. Truths, which set about touching the more romantic side of all of women and men and lifts up onto a higher plane, allowing each one of us, for a brief moment to reflect on our own personal journey of the heart.

    A Poetry book to treasure throughout the years with full color photographs accompanying each poem giving us a glimpse of the depth felt by the poet in these beautiful and somewhat eclectic soothing verses. “Serenity” a nook of poetry enriching the human spirit and touching deeply into one’s inner core

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Serenity - R.e. Taylor

      If She Only Knew

      Why can't I tell her?

      I dream about her every second I sleep

      My thoughts wrap around her in the days light

      But she doesn't know

      I could never tell her how I feel

      She would not, could not understand

      I watch her as she dances through life

      Smiling and seeing only good

      She is one of a kind

      Truly an angel to be worshipped

      She hides her wings to be among people

      I know that she must have an idea

      But I am not of her class

      I am old, with the wrinkles of life

      Too many beers in my youth

      And eyes that don't see as well as they used to

      However, my heart works

      It aches when I think that she could be mine

      Fighting the mind that knows better

      So, I dream and I watch without speaking a word

      Living with the hope that she could be mine

      Living with the knowledge that she could never be.

      That Beautiful Pain

      That beautiful pain

      The one that lives in my heart

      Born the minute you leave It takes away my sleep Ripping my dreams apart That beautiful pain

      The one that only I know

      I can never share it

      Not that I would if I could

      No one would ever understand They do not see you as I do That beautiful pain

      The one that only fades when you return

      Would I live without it?

      Could I live without it?

      Not if it meant that I would never had met you

      That beautiful pain

      I would rather suffer Dealing with the hurt Rather than lose you

      And give the pain to another.

      A Single Tear

      Trying to hold it back

      It is too hard especially with a broken heart

      A single tear flows down my cheek Telling the world of my sadness What mistakes I made

      Ones that I cannot change

      Words I said

      Others I should have said

      Yet others I could have said but didn't

      Raging in my memory

      They tear at my soul

      Trying to escape to release the pain

      Years, decades they try while they rip me apart

      Finally every words is released

      Not in a flood

      Not in a torrent

      But in a single tear flowing down my cheek.

      The Frozen Pathway to Your Heart

      I never could find the way

      It is a path few have traveled If you ever allowed anyone The path
