New Beginning

kidnapped into hell, i fought to come back
tied up by pain tenfold and enveloped by wrath
stumbling blindly through darkness
flesh putrid from curdled memories i pass
voiceless echoes of terrors and dreams
my longing for life touched every bittersweet gash

fixated on the battles I lost
my expired heart fed snakes in the grass
became the walking dead
bad bitch punisher to whoever stepped in my path
manifested to a slayer
filled with corrosion i had to find myself fast

tainted memories I had to wipe away
twisting the rag to drain them fast
No longer clinging on to bloody wars
silent screams
Broken bones
hollow nights of my hollow past

i ache to emerge victorious
Glorious
no more looking in the mirror
screaming in hatred at whose looking back
no more running away
dark shadows cant catch me if they stay in the back

alone in this swamp ill submerge my fears
quicksand and thick fog
my visions tread with ease crystal clear
let the slate be clean
Namaste
Embrace the future
Free the past

The Chronicles of A New Day part 4 Looking Back, and Seeing the Present Has Changed

I look back at my old feelings
frayed memories, scarred, burnt and black
as day after day passies by
I obessess over the past
I try to find a part that would last
I try!
and try i look back deeper and deeper i am very deep in now deeper
very deep i am lost in thought, my consciousness, frayed, and memories seep
out and seem to drain away
not here to stay not even for another day
the Longer i look back the more the present passes me by
the world changes, moves, and hates without me or at me.

Memories

*Whisper* Memories, Memories, Memories
In This World You Tried
Not Leaving Me Alone Behind
There's No Other Way
I'll Pray To The Gods: Let Him Stay
The Memories Ease The Pain Inside
Now I Know Why
Chorus
All Of My Memories
Keep You Near
It's All About Us
Imagine You'd Be Here
All Of My Memories
Keep You Near
The Silent Whispers
The Silent Tears
Made Me A Promise I'd Try
To Find My Way Back In This Life
I Hope There Is A Way
To Give Me A Sign You're Okay
Reminds Me Again
It's Worth It All
So I Can Go Home
Chorus
Together In All These Memories
I See Your Smile
All The Memories I Hold Dear
Darling You Know I Love You Till The End Of Time

Thoughts and Visions

Thoughts and visions pass my way
in the twilight of my years.
I hold tightly to all of them
and try to hold back tears.

I long for them to never leave
and escape my memory.
I take great pleasure in them all
and never want to be

unable to keep them tucked away
and faced with vacant space.
Thoughts and visions are what I need.
They're like a warm embrace.

Memories of days that brought me you
and love was there for the taking.
Memories of nights that lingered
when love was in the making.
Memories of birthing both my sons
and experiencing the pain of joy.
Memories of the lyrical sounds
that were infused inside my soul.
And memories of sun filled days
to take away the cold.

I could go on and on with these
as my years do pass.
And express my thanks for all of them
and pray they always last.

The Punisher

One day youre ostracised
And then youre mesmerised
The goal is freedom for us all
We are all believers
We think we own the world
It sends us crashing down
And in an instant he arrives
We are strong believers
Hes the retriever
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - there is only one right
He is the punisher - he takes an eye for an eye
Hes made in one design
The price is piece of mind
Instead of hatred there is pride
We are strong believers
He senses everytime
The past and future crimes
Hes east and west hes so divine
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - you cant elect him out
He is the punisher - he is the one we crowned
Hes omnipresant in our world and rules the game
The punisher just treats the same
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - there is only one right
He is the punisher - he takes an eye for an eye
He is the punisher - you cant elect him out
He is the punisher - he is the one we crowned
Punisher - he is the punisher
Punisher - he is the punisher

Crusader

(clarke / hicks / nash)
All is dark
The moat is dry
Shadows fall
The roof lets in the sky
All these memories
Go round in my head
Of the life I have led
Minstrels play
Familiar melodies
And once more
The past comes back to me
All these memories
Go round in my head
Of the life I have led
The grass has grown much taller now
Over running everything
Oh, oh, since Ive been gone
The grass has grown much taller now
Over running everything
Oh, oh, what have I done
Break
The grass has grown much taller now
Over running everything
Oh, oh, since Ive been gone
The grass has grown much taller now
Over running everything
Oh, oh, since Ive been gone
All is dark
The moat is dry
Shadows fall
The roof lets in the sky
All these memories
Go round in my head
Of the life I have led

Past must last

Past must last
That too very fast
It may unnecessarily cast
Raise many questions and doubts

It may lead to formation of a thick cloud
That may emerge and speak very loud
Mystery must shroud
May hurt several time not to feel proud

Past may be glorious
But no need to remember it continuous
Reasons can be cited as various
The result is known and obvious

Past can be made as jumping ground
For more happiness to be found
Errors can taken care of and new foundation is laid
"Past makes us perfect" as it is well said

Past is to be kept in mind
For new horizons to find
A new concept to be tried
But truth should never be denied

If past was not that bright
Its burial may be considered to make it right
There is no place for dead memories
As it adds to tension and worries

I, for one, may go for bright future
Making every aspect very much sure
Result can be anything either in swing or favor
But I shall not compromise it with honor

Angel

girl it's been so long
since i held you in my arms
so i picked up pen and paper
and decided to write you a song

things just ain't the same
since you took your love away
all i have is dark and lonely days
cause the sun don't shine my way

wish that i could find the words to say
to show you love is real
the words just can't express the way i feel

[chorus]
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again

baby not a day goes bye
that i don't want to cry
when i think of what we had
how you walked out of my life

all i had was yours to take
till my heart you chose to break
still wish that i could make love to you
just one more time for old times sake

if only i could find the words to say
to show you love is real
the words just can't express the way i feel

[chorus]
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me feel whole again
come back home
come back home

cause without you here beside me
my house is not a home
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
won't you fly back home and make me whole again
you're my angel
my sun up in the sky
we've been through hell and back together
why you wanna leave me now
only you can ease the pain i feel
and wipe my tears away
you've been gone too long so won't you come back home

Running

Hot steamy night alone
I wait for you.
Cold brittle morning alone
And I cry for you.
And when you finally call,
You cloak your moves in the shadows.
Those days and nights I was good to you.
They must not have meant very much to you.
The night I needed you the most,
My cries fell on deaf ears.
And Im running so hard to find it
And Im running so fast.
And Im telling you know to leave me,
Our romance cannot last.
And if someday I need to see you,
Ill come back from the past.
Ill come back and find you,
Ill never leave you now.
Those days and nights I was good to you.
They must not have meant very much to you.
The night I needed you the most,
My cries fell on deaf ears.
Now I dont want to play games with you.
But I dont know what to say to you.
The digits change so slowly now.
Im going it alone.
And Im running so hard to find it
And Im running so fast.
And Im telling you now to leave me,
Our romance cannot last.
And if someday I need to see you,
Ill come back from the past.
Ill come back and find you,
Ill never leave you now.

Free From Society

Running as fast as I can. I can feel them breathing down my neck. My demons, my dark side. Running? Running for hope, for expectations, for a better me, for a better future. Still running...I trip but pull myself back up and surpress the pain. I run, I'm almost there! I feel my weight drop. I look back and see that its my fears, and devilish thoughts that fall to the ground. And my anguished heart is made pure, as prue as it can be at the moment. No more running, No! Now I fly high, high and free. And the riddle that is my my life is starting to make sense... Because I have a great teacher.

Constant Time

Time past and the future give way to this present picture,
But can somebody tell me how to recognize that gate that leads to the bed of roses,
We speak about the future like the past is a grain of sand on the shore,
Washed away by the ocean tide,
Giving way to new grains to make a portrait of the present,
These past memories stay deep in our heart like the depths of the ocean,
Though it gets washed back to shore ones in a blue moon,
Reminding us that our past is a standard measurement of our strength,

Time moves so fast making the past to fade away,
this makes us seem so secured about the present,
Forgetting the fact that our present becomes our past that was once a present from nature as a new day,
Some take the future to be a dream and a wish,
But I take my future to be what I see when I stand from the bottom of the mountain to look at the top,
And my past to be the depth of the ocean that can always be washed ashore …
The only thing I can control is my present,
Yes cos my mind controls my hands to give you a flash of what goes on in my head
Like this words i write to you was once my future and will become my past, making my future my past and my past my future..So ironical isn’t it?

Standing here I sure know 1 thing,
I will reach the top by that foot path,
Yes of course it’s not to mean that I wouldn’t fall,
But I have to break myself off my present past and walk with grace to stand where I belong,
There where I am the king of my destiny,
The past is just going to be a page of memories,
And my future will become my present making time constant in my head,
Because I stand on my past which was once my present and my present which was once my future, making time equal and constant
As I flip thru this page of life,

Sad Goodbyes

Sad Goodbyes
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, March 3,2012 @ 5: 26 PM

Once I had it all and stood a thousand feet tall
I had a house that was our home
Life was good like it should
A car in the driveway that took me my way

Hotter than July, I don't know why
Mortified and left with egg on my face
Happiness vanished without a trace
Quite the fact for I was left with only the cloths on my back

Such a distance to dropp from the top
How long can it last for such time has past?
Never I understood the scope for I was a dope
So I cope without giving up hope

Seasons come and they go
Winter birds flies solo
Past memories still echoes
Neighbors still say their hellos

Whispering still the willows
Sadness leaks in the shadows
From the hip throw in Judo
The drummer beats a syncopated tempo

The green trees has turned yellow
Frost still covers a hollow window
On occasions winter snows
Greener grass no longer grows

Laryngitis befell the sparrow
Still the heart filled with sorrow
Such a big pill to swallow
Spring now soon falls on a dejected meadow

The artist paints a picture perfect photo
No longer call a planet is Pluto
But there is one thing I still know
For you my heart will still glow

Does anyone have a heart I can borrow?
Mine is now hollow
My suburb has turned to a crime-ridden ghetto
Tarnished is my halo

My heart beats no more
Eaten its been by a condor
Lost I have my mentor
Now I've closed the door

These words I scribe now so you know
In my sincerest of heart I loved you so
Now I let you go and wish you the best
For the time I spent with you I was truly blessed

These words I now pen
I cannot and will ever go through this again
The pain is just too much to bear the tears
Someone I've loved about me no longer cares

I Look At You

I look at you...
I look at you in the mirror and say to myself 'what happened? '
'Why are you the way you are? '
The image speaks back I just can't hear the words.
I try to listen or read the lips of the girl I don't know, but she is talking too fast.
I look at you...
Your hair and teeth- your eyes that speak.
The eyes 'have it' and I see the twisted tails* of a young girl tattered and torn blistered and worn.
I look at you...
I see beauty and hate and the times you were late- wishing, wishing it wouldn't happen again not now, not ever, not tomorrow...
she is filled with such sorrow.
I look at you...
dancing in the rain. without the pain of him ever hurting you again.
I see the tears of joy and loss swell up but not a dropp rolls down your cheek because you feel that is weak.
I look at you...
I see you playing hopscotch, and a smooth stone lands on anger and depression and your stuck on the squares of chained sidewalk chalk.
I look at you...
I see your knees how they are bruised. Why does a child ever need abuse?
I see your hands if only time wasn't going like grains of sand.
I look at you...
I see your face so sweet by it I see your body limp and weak. I see that hand that led -you the ones that fed you- to thread your mouth closed not even to whisper sweet nothings in the air.
I look at you...
I see you become blurry in a cold winters night-without a fight-without a light.
I look at you...
I see darkness, darkness all around without a smile only a frown. He thinks hes a clown saying the worst doing the 'best' boy I hope I pass this test.
I look at you...
I see your hands they will never be clean as you sing songs to yourself and the unseen. You drift away in your fairy tale dreams just to wake up to loud screams.
I look at you...
I see the rage behind the page... The feeling behind the pen, and I see a whole lot of empty in a place in your chest. Where love and happiness could be where merry-go-rounds aren't painful. Where you can be loved and love back.
I look at you...
I see an injured survivor fighting for her life- a life without, but strife and no more sacrifice. I see a hardened heart towards people, the unknown- to love and being grown.
I look at you...
and I see me wishing life was so much more easy. The past is the past but memories will forever last, but remember you are a survivor and you can overcome this like all the other memories.
When I look at me...
I see soon to be tranquility of the mind, heart, and soul. and a filled hole where your new heart will be.
I look at you.

Memories

When people speak of memories they say the good usually outshines the bad, unfortunately thats not true in my case and it's actually pretty sad

We're suppose to be different but all we are, are hypocrites, I could write down every bad memory you've caused me, but I'd end up with way too long of a list

There were nights of screaming and shouting and nights where we all caused each other pain, there were nights when not one of us didn't go to bed feeling ashamed

There were nights when I wondered if this was always to be our fate and nights when all of you I finally began to hate

There are days and nights still when the past comes back to haunt me, no matter how hard I try to forget, still these memories come back to taunt me

How long will this go on? I really don't know, but I can guarantee you this, these stupid memories will always be my biggest foe

When people speak of memories they say the good usually outweighs the bad, unfortunately that isn't true in my case and honestly it makes me pretty mad

My skin is screaming

My skin is screaming.
Screaming loud and clear.
My body and mind now joins the screams.
Needing and wanting the pain.

Needing the pain so I can feel.
Wanting the pain to drive out the inner pain.
so without a second thought I cut and cut again.

The scars lokk a mess.
But the scars, they telll a story.
They tell the story of a life with no glory.
The life filled with missery.

This is why skin screams.
Just to cut out the memories and the hell.
Of past events.
My skin mind and body needs the pain

Keep On Running

Your soul is bleeding
from everything decieving
and now your life is burning
with all the pain you feel inside
from a past forever gone

Feeling as there is no escaping
still you keep on running
into the darkness
looking for a place to hide
from your sadness
that never seems to subside
your dreams now only a nightmare

Lost in your own mind of illusion
that's full of confusion
with haunting visions that died
of a past so long ago
so you keep on running
from something you can't let go
that is no longer there

You keep looking for a conclusion
to all your lonliness
that you keep on running
into the black
trying to never look back
on what you long to leave behind
but it never escapes your mind

War Is Never Over

War is never over
Thought the treaties may be signed
The memories of the battles
Are forever in our minds

War is never over
So when you welcome heroes home
Remember in their minds they hold
Memories known to them alone

War is never over
Nam veterans know this well
Now other wars bring memories back
Of their own eternal hell

War is never over
For I knew world war two
And I'll not forget the battles
Or the nightmares that ensue

War is never over
Those left home to wait know this
For many still are waiting
It was their farewell kiss

War is never over
Though we win the victory
Still in our minds the battles
No freedom is not free!

Memories

The night is still,
A silent chill,
Rejects the cares of day,
And Memories wake up, the night,
While others fade away.

These Memories have taken hold,
They squeeze my heart and pain my soul,
With thoughts of yesteryear,
The peaceful dreams of life, it seems,
Are by no means, now near.

I think of you, our sad 'adieu',
My heart just filled with tears,
I look for you and all I find,
Are Memories and fears.

The night is still,
The stars are gone,
And life seems far away.
I fold by eyes and realize,
That nothing's here to stay.

Love Can Do

Who can say
Why she turned and walked away.
I cant see,
But shes gone away.
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight.
Everybody runs,
Everybody hides,
No, this aint the movies,
Now its flesh and blood,
And this thing Im sure of,
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
Love can do
Things you never thought it could,
Mend a hurt so bad,
Make you feel so good.
Loves for fools
Wise enough to take a chance;
Hear the music girl,
Let me see you dance.
No, this aint the movies,
Now its give and take,
And its your heart at stake.
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
No....
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
(get outta my yard.)
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Yeah, yeah,
Looking for the love youre sure will last.
Why do you have to say it?
Love has gone away;
Its not...like that.
Loves not like that.
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back,
Like only love can do.
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
(no, no, not like that.) no!
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back!
Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
Its not like that.
No? no!
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want em back
You know you gotta stay,
(no running.)
No running.
Loves coming back, (owwww!)
Coming back to stay!

Dreams And Ghosts

the dreams
of the heart
the dreams
of the mind

change and pass
with time
throughout the span
of a lifetime

many dreams
will come and go
but some dream
like childhood

quality must be
kept and preserved
from childhood
for this is perpetual

renewal of creativity
this deep solace
sustains aspiring soul
with hope filled

love renewing life
with new dreams
to inspire to grasp
to share eternally

the hard hearted
are played out
lost broken upon
twisted memories

dreams long dead
life expired withered
dead to deep feeling
which sustains life

the dead of heart
live only in shadows
of yesterday’s hope
ghost haunting

Slow Down

So far from where I started out
So far from where I wanna be
Listening for answers in the wind
But cant find a rock to plant my feet
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Down on my knees and now Im praying for patience
I know theres gotta be a better way
In the back of my mind I hear my momma say
Slow down, baby youre going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
Youre bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby
Thinking the faster that I go
The faster (that) I will reach my goal
The race is not given to the swift
But to the one who endureth
I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
Walking around like Im made out of diamond
I tripped and fell and it remindedme
Move over and let my angels guideme
Slow down, baby youre going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
Youre bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby
Sometimes you gotta be still
Before you can get ahead
Be still
Ask the universe for help
Be real
You cant do it all by yourself
Ah, no no
Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still
It take some time to reach you and they
Be still
Take some time to clear your space
Be real
Chaos isnt good for your health
Ah, no no, ahhh
Cuz Im breaking things and losing things
I lost my cell phone again the other day
Now, I dont wanna live this way, no
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
Slow down, baby youre going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
Youre bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby
(slow down baby)
Slow down (baby)
Youre going too fast
Slow down (baby)
Feet on the gas
Slow down (baby)
Run from your past
Slow down baby (4x)
