Violence washes your sore feet
Carnivore stuffs their bellies with the anguishes meat
Staunch was the summer heat
Filled the winters with your deceit
They came to subjugate and divide
A feast of blood cooked and well fried
Babies died so the angels cried
Dressed in white Satan's bride
Passed and future now collide
Never royalty for lack of pride
The weak shall be swept aside
The gates of heaven shall open wide
Those worthy shall step inside
Those who are not shall be cleared by the tide
You can run but you cannot hide
Consumed by flames he watches by the fireside
Your existence was nothing more than a lie
Everything you’ve done you tried to deny
This world was your apple pie
Plastic smiles the cohort spy
Your hordes always on standby
Evil was your only true ally
Picnics gather as ropes we worn as a necktie
Complacent for you were always anti
Ears closed to the outcry
Never your cup ran dry
Your wealth, anything you could buy
Perversion, anything you would try
Now your bombs burst high in the sky
Irradiated so you can no longer multiply
Birds no longer fly
Cannot find not a single dry eye
Hatred sang for a lullaby
Forked tongue in suits sly
Crushed the life out of the firefly
Spreading your gospel was your reply
Celebrating no longer in July
Songs of love no longer to you apply
Reasoning and logic your deeds defy
Gone will be your tomorrow now to a sad goodbye

For Every Up There Must Be A Downside
For Every Up There Must Be A Downside
Written: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, October 16,2009
Pretending to be Dr. Jekyll while being Mr. Hyde
The pain I hide and emotions kept inside
The oceans now separate and divide
No one left now to confide
Your attention I desperately vied
On your love I so relied
To you I had never chide
On slippery slopes I now slide
Once struck by a truck broadside
Battered now and deep fried
Secrets to you I once confide
Tender moments spent at your bedside
Heaven knows I’ve truly tried
All request I’ve complied
Court order’s I’ve not defied
God doesn’t sleep for his eyes remain open wide
My heart once again has been shanghaied
Great love to you I’ve supplied
Yet left high and dry
Words spoken, yes you lied
You’ll see who’s there come yuletide
You can run but you cannot hide
Your world shall be turn on its side
Dragged out to sea by the riptide
Pray that the universe will provide
No more comforting words to you to guide
There will be no more upside
No more for you the joy ride
Alone I stand by the seaside
Thinking of my children and I cried
Swept away by the noontide
Held captive by love and hogtied
Left with only my stupid pride
Lonesome groom with his bride
Standing now where worlds collide
Peering into the void wide-eyed
Tears come and go with the tide
Heartache and I are now allied
Waters fell until ducts are dried
Open wounds I now abide
Placed now curbside
Fate no longer on a hayride
On crystal lakes I glide
All hope has not yet died
Storms brew and chilled winds wouldn’t subside
At wits end for nothing I have left untried
Your heart of steel cold and freeze-dried
Rusted solid from the oxide
In this and the next world standing astride
You I’ve never left aloft and elide
Glancing down from the hillside
By God now I stand beside
Comforted by the fireside
Now I dwell on the inside
Stationed no longer in a landslide
Forward looking without guilt and untied
Casting now I do worldwide
No longer staying just stateside
In judgment he alone will preside
In loving arms I now reside

A Key Hole in the Door
The door,
long hall
Dark light
open slowly to see the sight
My hero gone
into the night
Iam alone,
and filled with fright
My soul is stained
no longer white
My love no longer pure
You ignite my heart
And the flames sour high
Breacking me from this ghostly tie
No longer my Hero
No longer my love
As I see your gaping face
Through the open hole
The doors noe closed,
And a tear falls from my face
Asking myself,
Did I make the mistake?
Fight The Good Fight
Pagans came to subjugate us with fables from there story books
Corrupt the mind of the innocent ones
Enslaved and took us to foreign lands
They took most of us abroad
They dropped some of us a yard
They said they saved us from a mundane life
Righteous people have to fight the good fight
So be though as it may
You can’t break the sanctified spirit
For God will help us on our way
So stand firm and fight the good fight
They claimed that they’re superior and the rest of us inferior
They sailed the seven seas
They spread there lies, sickness, and disease
They tried to handcuff our brains with there drug
Told us lies of there God above
The Holy Spirit has revealed himself to us
So go ahead with your evil lies
Removed the shackles but the scars stayed
Shot down and died where we laid
Gang violence blood washes the streets
Some go to bed with nothing to eat
One step forward two steps back we’ve strived
No longer royalty for loss of pride
Economic enslavement has been left for us
Gone tomorrow from dawn till dust
So be though as it may
You can’t break God’s people spirit
Arm in arm on our holy crusade
Engaged in battle for our survival
So be though as it may
You can’t break the sanctified spirit
The holy redeemer will help you on our way
So stand firm against the on slot of the missives’
All in all we’re all one blood
Blessed by one God that dwells above
It maters not where you came but where you’re going
The fruit of intellect most are starving
Battle scared people full of dissolutions
Full time we start to make the right decisions
A fool knows not that we’re in the same pot
The idiot knows not what he’s got
Closed eyes, closed heart from the truth
Closed mind so blindly he shoots
Dehumanized so it becomes easier to kill
Gangsters huddle to do as the will
Hooded clothing to hide there shame
Demanding we go back from where we came
Force exodus he just does not relate
Spewing his words of pure hate
For the fool now thinks he knows it all
Poisoned by there desire for his alcohol
Now he lives his life of vanity
Gone now are the days of his morality
The minorities now kicked to the curve
Opressor man says that is what they deserve
Blessed child of the sun
Wonders aimlessly in captivity
Brought to a place he feels he doesn’t belong
Kept under a thumb spirit no longer rises
Hopeless sinner strives for the better days
White picket fence no longer made
Trod the trodden on desolate shores
No longer the flag of pride flying no more
Walk we walk speaking a tongue not of his own
Broken language we speak; we’re nothing more than shadows
We hear no more the sweet songs of the sparrows
So be though as it may
Don’t let them break the sanctified spirit
For God will help us on our way
So stand firm and fight the good fight
Fight the good fight

Winter Fades To Springtime
Winter Fades To Springtime
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, October 25,2009 @ 11: 22 AM
Birds sing their songs but for others
Children pine away for their mothers
Fools fall in love and think it’s cool
Beside me sits an empty bar-stool
Such heartache and pain
I can't stand the rain
In anguish naked I stand for all to see
Yet no one can see me
Minstrel, jester, and the class clown
Tears fall like waterfalls till I drown
Weeping and wailing yet I make not a sound
Brown are my leafs on the ground found
O' dear God hear my plea
No one is there any more for me
Someone please rip my heart out I need it no more
Tear it out and throw it on the floor
These thoughts no longer I can ignore
No longer the gangster settling the score
My heart, my life, my soul, and all that I am feeling
Heart scorched needs plenty of healing
Looking forward to peace of mind
In this world no more can I find
These eyes of mine are now blind
This world has been so unkind
Take me away to another place and time
Where mountains no longer I climb
Wedding bells no longer chime
Winter fades to springtime

THAT PAST JULY (A Soldier's Story)
That Past July
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, February 4,2011 @ 4: 04 PM
Wives and sweethearts watch the warrior’s from the piers
Drafted conscripts without any volunteers
Hairs cut low from the barber’s shears
Nothing left to comfort their familiar fears
From the straits of Tiran to the steps of Algiers
The imperial army dressed fully in their battle gears
Bullets whisper lullabies in their ears
The timid hunkers down and shed silent tears
Thinking no longer it was only a one-year affair
Senses heightened surroundings I was totally aware
Bombs were bursting high in the air
Illuminating the darkness was a single flare
Silent was the night rich with foreboding
The cries in the mist were of self-loathing
The fog thicken as the atmosphere filled with apprehension
Moods swing wildly for nothing could cut the tension
Shadows creep around a stone clearance
Horrifying scream breaks the silence
Hatred filled the heart with vengeance
Cold was the steel of cruel temperance
Thin is the air for the Devil’s appearance
Such fury without any guidance
Hollowed utterance in the distance
The meadow ran red without conscience
The idiocy for we were so naïve
Arms severed from shoulder to sleeve
Such depraved cruelty one could not conceive
Not even the fallen you could retrieve
From the onslaught brings no reprieve
The jungle roars in a malicious up heave
Men bow their heads and couldn’t believe
Fanatics spares no one time to grieve
From the Shire to smallest Glen
No one can fix what has been broken
This is the true nature of mice and men
For fools repeat the same act all over again
The same song was also sung back then
It was frequented a thousand times ten
They are children in a filthy playpen
The crowing Rooster was truly a hen
The choir says amen
Only god knows when
Prayers clergies no longer send
When will the insanity come to an end?
The conscientious objector always asking why
The government perpetrated the biggest lie
The president had one last fish to fry
Oil since then has been in short supply
Mothers turn their heads and cry
Families bid their soldiers a fond goodbye
Their sons sent off to war to die
Hot it was that September to July

Gone Is The Light
Every day I wake in my lonely bed
How I wish that I was dead
No more left to be said
A great burden I carry on my head
All I do is question why
No longer pointing my head to the sky
No more wind is in my sail
Nothing more I can fail
I have lost my only friend
In love I fall never again
It is sad but yet so true
Nothing left for me to do
Into the night I'll fade away
For me there's just no more day
All is left is the night
Gone tomorrow the sun light
Darkness surrounds everywhere
Gray are my skies since she's not here
Turned his back no longer I sleep
For my soul no one will keep
As winter’s chill cometh the dawn
Lost all my senses since she’s gone
The darkness cry’s out my name
Hard I find to live down the shame
No longer can I conceal my sorrow
Why must there be a tomorrow
No more comes a brighter day
It just won’t seem to go away
This is a first for me to be alone
I've never been on my own
Gone are the days of my happiness
All is left is pure sadness
No one left to kiss and caress
No longer do I have someone to impress
The darkness I now embrace
For I have fallen on my face
No more to rise it’s the end
For I’ve lost my best friend
That voice I no longer hear
For she’s no longer here

My Sweet Desire Is
I am the fish and you my beauty the fisherman’s lure
You my debutante lifted me to heights unreachable before
You are the captain of my ship and I your chief steward amour
Surround by love safe, solid, and secure
Your beautiful lips I dream to kiss
Nothing in life could be more perfect that this
To gaze in your eyes forever is what I would wish
To leave you behind would be simply foolish
A single glance leaves me in such anguish
A true work of art that I want to publish
In ornaments of gold you I would lavish
Grown I am for me you to have would be selfish
Wearing attire in settings urban so stylish
Hip-hop vernacular yet still gorgeously girlish
Time I would spent longer than a fortnight
I burn for you a thousand degrees Fahrenheit
A life in your arms I most desire
Burning for you I now in a hellfire
A single touch is all that I require
In chambers darken passions erupts as appetites transpire
From a distance you I admire
You have set my soul completely afire
Engulfed in your flames my mind goes haywire
You are most precious gift I could ever acquire
Caught in the web I am as helpless as a fly
To linger in your arms I cannot deny
You my love, you are hotter than July
For the job as your lover, I would be the first to apply
On a Chinese jaunt me you can shanghai
To make you touch the sky I would ever try
I would never leave you on standby
Loving I have in abundance and amply supply
Your every wish I will fulfill
Please take me and do with me what you will
Your vision down my spine shedding massive chills
I your most learned student with surprising skills
Pealing grapes for you to eat
Laying dormant at your delicate feet
Desired sensations tender, sublime, and sweet
A feast to die for in the summer’s heat

My Love Is
My Love Is
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, September 24,2011 @ 1: 19 PM
You plus me equals we
One love, one heart, one destiny
Together we have become one soul
I shall stay with you until the sunsets no more
We shall be together until eternity passes away
Until the sun no longer shines in the sky nor the moon by night,
Until the stars in the sky grows dim and no longer shine,
I shall love you till then and there after till the end of time
My love is deeper the any ocean
My love is pure and only for you I breathe
Without you my life would be meaningless
My love reaches to the highest of the universe
It is deeper than any ocean
It is wider than any sea
You make everything in my life beautiful
The moments we share are magical
Your simple touch sends shivers down my spine
Your lips are sweeter than cherry wine
Your eyes make me drift into paradise
The warmth of your body keeps me yearning
I was made for you and you for me
A single day without you is like a day without sunshine
You chase all the clouds away
It’s because of you why the oceans are blue
I love you for these reasons and so many, many more
My life, my partner, my breath, my love of a lifetime

I Am No Longer
i am no longer the girl who sits alone
i am no longer the girl without a friend
i am no longer the girl with the knife
i am no longer the girl who looks at sorrow
i am no longer the girl seeking out missery
i am no longer the girl who hates her life
i am no longer the girl wanting everything to end
i am still the girl that is unknown
i am still the girl that follows
i am still the girl thats vile
i am no longer the girl without a smile
i am still the girl who seeks
i am no longer the girl making her life bleak
i am no longer the girl with depression
i am still the girl who seeks affection
i am no longer the girl whos not fun
i am no longer the girl who runs

Sacrifices I’ll make to give you it all
You caught me honey when I was about to fall
I’ll shower you with all my love and affection
You showed me the light for you’re my redemption
Nights we shared filled with so much pleasure
No one compares to you they don’t even measure
Through the years our love will constantly get better
I’ll stay by your side no matter whatever
From the tip of your head to the bottom of your shoe
Don’t you know how much I really love you?
With you anything I’ll try for nothing is taboo
Anything in this world for you I’ll do
Your deepest desires in me you can confide
No mountain to high and no ocean too wide
Inside your love my toes always curl
You are my wife and my favorite girl
You are my life and my one and only
With you no longer I shall ever be lonely
I promised you my very heart and soul
With your love my heart’s in cruise control
Here is my hand to have and to hold
Whatever you need for I’ll never say never
I want to hold you here on and forever
I could watch you sleep all night and day
I’ll never get bored in any which way
You are an angel divine and I’m so glad you’re mine
I love you baby nine times ninety-nine
I’ll worship you my little lotus flower
My passion for you will never ever sour
From your love I could not ever cower
It’s your love I want each and every hour
A vow I’ve made I take it sincerely
My oath to you I take seriously
You’re a vision to me of perfection
You’ve pointed my life in the right direction
By your beauty I am smitten
Your name on my heart it is now written
Down and out my heart was once broken
But now I love you more than any words ever spoken

Dancing The Mambo
Dancing The Mambo
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Wednesday, December 14,2011 @ 00: 24
Do you miss my kiss on your lips?
When you lie down at night and turn off the lights
Are your arms still empty when I use to give you plenty?
Do you lay awake and from the cold shake?
Do you miss my sent and wonder where the passion went?
Long horns come and go but they don’t know
What sweets you can also sour you too
The sky’s not always blue and words aren’t often always true
It’s about give and take for we all make mistakes
Reap the bitter fruit right down to the its root
Back to the premise at hand for this was not my plan
To fall in and out is foolish no doubt
Sacrifices made and a solemn price paid
Felt the blade once where I laid
Passed by the parade from the drums I plaid
Left alone waiting for you to come home
Staring out the window as grass green turns yellow
Feeling like a psycho for the lion turned to the scarecrow
Songs came no more from the swallow for halls now hollow
No longer the mellow fellow that always greats hello
Broken was my halo and silence came from the sparrow
Life was on furlough and I back to the ghetto
This I knew yet I still grew
No longer a shadow feeling so–so
Flying no more solo for I walk to a new tempo
Seasons come and seasons go maestro
Cover not my head with a pillow feeling sorrow
My disco has now turned to a tango
A planet no longer Pluto for Dorothy has found Toto
The zero is now a hero dancing the mambo

My feelings for you are endless
I bear my soul to you in its bareness
Words cannot ever mention
in your arms I find redemption
We are the perfect duet
I thank god the day we met
Over you I am obsessing
You are truly a magnificent blessing
A love so amazingly real
You have that certain sex appeal
There is no better way to spend my days
I cherish you now, here forth, and always
If I was granted only one wish
I would make all your pains vanish
A world without you I want no part
To you I have given my very heart
Even though we are at a distance
You remain my sole existence

No More Sad Goodbyes
More Sad Goodbyes
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, February 18,2012
Go ahead and leave if you want to
You'll never find another as true
No one that will worships you like I do
In this life I would have comforted you
Another love you may fine but not like mine
You will regret one day the love you left behind
Gave you all that I could give
I suffered so you could live
I held you up so high
You gave me wings that I could fly
For you anything I would've tried
For you my love I would died
Our life has been a complete satire
A meager donkey in elegant attire
I thought that I was all you required
But that is not the way things transpired
Abused by explicit grammar
Chilled words beats like the drummer
You were my delicate flower
A fish out of water I now Flounder
I close my eyes and still see you there
I can't believe you no longer care
Sometimes it's just my luck
For loneliness, with you I am stuck

Seansons When
A shadow loomed on my sill so blue
Through my window my bird flew
Filling my heart with such sadness
Gone sweet bird of happiness
Franticly seeking calling it back
Searching in every corner and ever crack
Sought refuge in other places
Dormant lies now my heart in stasis
My bird no longer sings me love songs
On foreign shore it now belongs
So desperately I tried
Long through the night I cried
My bird now is set free
Its voice no longer calls me
My head no longer filled with rage
It was I the one that kept it in a cage
True love was all that I had sought
I made mistakes for that’s how I was taught
Bleeding heart knows no cure
The love of my life loves me no more
My blue bird one day will nest a new
For that there is nothing I can do
With flock ling’s now domesticated
Off lings forever we are related
Days gone now by and by
Recouping I have tried
Lost all but not my footing
On my feet for I am still standing
Bittersweet sorrows lessons to learn
Burdens filled now it’s my turn
Seasons when yellow leafs fell of my tree
Gone forever now so shall it be

Watch Me Die
I lay as this sacrifice to this unholy altar
The evil inside Satan; Satan sit and watch me die
Demented screams, tortured beings, where's your hope,
where's your smile, there was none
Life of lies gone, gone no more
So upset, so distraught, I'm sorry, I'm Sorry... I live for the Lord
Watch me die no longer I am alive
My purpose no more... I live for Christ
Dead to sin, only begin, imagine what's for Soldier of Christ
Changed with a new beginning, blood of the lamb, white washed sins
Forgive me God for all of these years of my transgressions
I cry renewed, I cry renewed This world means nothing to me
My life changed I now see Crucified with Christ,
the old self left with the rest of this world, rest of this world
Kneel before his throne, home now from this journey
I see my father in his arms finally found
This path I have chosen is hard but I'll make it with my saviors help
I survive this hell till the end I'll stand true
Eternal life, ready for the fight that the evil brings
No giving in... I'm free
The fire burns engulfing all the victims in it's path, no where to run
Over taken they give in to surrender to the Lord once, and for all
No longer keeping quiet, no longer standing still,
no longer giving in, no longer going back
I stand strong praying for love always to be in my heart

Dead Memory
Your memory no longer lingers through my life.
You were there once and now your gone.
Your memory has died like a rose when it is cut from the rest of the world.
Your torns no longer cut my heart.
My voice no longer whispers you name,
I no longer look for you in other people in other faces.
I no longer dream of you or wish that I see you once again.
My heart no longer cries or bleeds for you, not no more.
You no longer haunt my dreams or my memories.
I finally found someone that keeps me warm at night,
I finally found someone who has helped me erase your memory.
I no longer fall and stumble but I now walk tall.
Your memory was a weight that I carried through out time
that now I am free.
I can say that I no longer love you, for you are a dead memory

My Swan Song
A vision of perfection, I must stare
Your arms, legs, your body, and your hair
With you I can find happiness
You are the one I want to caress
So it was written and so it must be told
It is you I want to have and to hold
At my window sat a single turtle dove
For I don’t want to live without your love
It rains all day since you are not here
My mind is in a daze no longer I see clear
On you all the money I would spend
I love you too much to ever be your friend
Your voice seems to mess up my brain
But I can’t wait to hear it again
I love all the things that you do
That is why I can’t wait to hear from you
Good morning sadness, please go away
Times I wonder how I make through the day
Please tell me how can I release the pain?
Knowing you’ll never come home again
I’m dieing inside without you here
I hunger for your love but do you even care
Loves fire I’m still burning
For your love I’m still yearning
My heart has been wounded very badly
But my life to you I would give gladly
My joy has gone I’m in a constant sad mood
Left behind to live a life of solitude
I gave you my best, I gave you my all
On my knees for you I would crawl
My love comes in all different kinds
But for you I would have died a thousand times
From God’s grace I fell
Pain and sorrow I know them well
I can’t sleep at night any more
Heart ache is my sickness and love’s the cure
I thought that you were special that certain kind
Now crazy thoughts run thru my mind
Dark as the night, cold as the winters
Closed the door, no love longer enters
Words them to sway you I can’t find
Cause you have left me so far behind
No one loves me, no one really cares
When you look back will I still be there
I hear the angels, I hear there call
Saying it’s better to have loved than not at all
From your love I will never recover
For you have been my one and only lover
My love freely I can never give away
I will always love you till the end of day
Darkness surrounds me now that you’re gone
Night cometh no longer the dawn
Pushed aside I’m no longer strong
For in your arms I truly belong
Remember the one that loved you no matter how you look
For my heart and soul is what you took
Young and innocent they have not a clue
So punish me but them too
Foolish is the man that thinks of no other
See the signs and remember the father
What you give is what you’ll get
For what you do one day you will regret

Destruction, Divined
No longer missed and no longer needed-
Like the once-passionate call of the heart
That is now, sadly, no longer heeded!
If there were anything that I wished to impart
To this world, it would be a presence that mattered;
I have nothing, except that which seems ethereal-
The remnants of a once-enviable life, now battered
By events that defy explication, but are all too real!
I now query what I used to take as given;
All that, for which my whole life I have striven
Was plundered, absconded or otherwise destroyed;
Was this indeed something I could not avoid! ?
I suppose so-that is the enigma of God's great Mystery!
I pray that I am made stronger because of this history!

Our winters never it snowed
Autumn’s leafs never yellowed
No longer days overshadowed
In merriment we often wallowed
Temperament’s high strong now mellowed
Sweet wine of live once flowed
Fruits ripened we once sowed
Together for us time slowed
Streets walked seldom narrowed
Gone were the days thought sorrowed
Joy and laughter once bestowed
Our time was simply borrowed
Things one could never forebode
High was the price of my heavy load
Journeyed I down lonesome rocky road
Such a debt I once owed
Bitter juice of live once swallowed
On a shelf my heart I stowed
To the moonlight I once fallowed
Tender the soil I once harrowed
Felt as if my heart could explode
In ferny valleys our voice echoed
Our features together once glowed
For the joy of life we once showed
Now the roster mornings crowed
The beautiful bride now widowed
Operatic voice once bellowed
Mystical passages once harrowed
No long can decipher the complex code
New tunes turn to a somber mode
Humble once my loving abode
Through the tulips we once tiptoed
As I write you my fond ode
As precious metals starts to corrode
As Latin dancers no longer tangoed
My love time can never erode
