Platitudes On A Snow Day
Platitudes On A Snow Day
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Thursday, January 27,2011 @ 9: 27 AM
Tided am I by your lasso
Once so big now micro
Once so high now so low
Back to the life once lived in the ghetto
Problems small now jumbo
So light now weighs more than a kilo
Never rode in a fancy limo
Never learned to speak the lingo
You now say that I am loco
No longer am I so macho
No longer leading so I fallow
I have now lost my halo
My life has been put on Furlough
Streets wide now narrow
No longer singing the sparrow
Melancholy now and so mellow
Should have learned to dance the mambo
Instead I sat and eat a mango
Silently sitting and watch the inflow
Never seeming to get the right info
Never big was my ego
Once I was your only hero
As pigs in mud they’ve learned to wallow
Dew collects on my window
Weep no more weeping willow
Slowed the dance to a medium tempo
Wade in the water so shallow
Sometimes feeling less than zero
I have been called worst than a weirdo
Still I wait for my life to be in turbo
Always looking to find a typo
Never liked riding solo
Seldom quick or pronto
Foods always tasting so-so
So much rain on my pillow
Always chasing a broken shadow
All the triumphs turning to a bitter sorrow
Always wishing for a better tomorrow
For once I did tango
Now it is noting more than a soft-shell taco
Fields no longer tended by the scarecrow
Words so concise by the psycho
For dry is the sandwich without mayo
Live and love has always been my motto
In my mind I take a photo
By my foot I travel and not by the metro
I don’t know karate or judo
In my orchestra I am the maestro
I am just your average Joe
Once in the Cadets I wore a Shako
Never did I read Plato
I’ll admit I’ve watch a porno
Words you describe me as Negro
You know no better for you ignorant and slow
Once I reigned as the king and the pharaoh
Mighty pyramids were build in homage in Cairo
Now in your old age you play bingo
The rich ones sit and watch matches of Polo
Plotting to kill the last white rhino
For acts of monstrosity you are the pro
Sitting now I watch the falling of the snow
Walls made firm by brick and stucco
Through my dreams I tiptoe
For now this has become all that I know

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

Despondent Child
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, October 25,2009 @ 11: 27 PM
Woebegone little boy
World filled without any joy
To his room his hope is sent
By himself all his time is spent
Disheartened and so forsaken
His life has been mistaken
From a quiet slumber he is been awakened
His eyes cold and truly blackened
He plays alone with his shadow
Never anxious and yet always mellow
Hallways he walks are long and narrow
From on high he sees not the sparrow
His shoes he’s yet to learn to tie
On his windowsill sits a dragonfly
In his mind squawk two magpies
Senses he no longer relies
Crestfallen little boy without any friends
Seldom someone he ever offends
In a crowd he just blends
His entire life he pretends
A broken fence he must mend
This reality he learned to transcend
Things disliked he must contend
For his life he cannot extend
Melancholy he is and so broken
A sixpence less one more token
Chastised all his euphoric dreams
Flights of fancy dangles on a moonbeam
His joy hopelessly beaten
No sugar for his tea to sweeten
Passer bye his smiles as he meets
Blurred vision by eating to many sweets
The burdens he now must endure
Tarnished silver lost its allure
Sitting quietly by the door
Hoping one day it swing his way once more

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

Watching The Wheels
People say Im crazy, doing what Im doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warning to save me from ruin.
When I say that Im okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely youre not happy now,
You no longer play the game.
People say Im lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that Im doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
Dont you miss the big time, boy,
Youre no longer on the ball.
Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry go round,
I just had to let it go.
Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them theres no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and look at me
As if I lost my mind.
I tell them theres no hurry,
Im just sitting here doing time.
Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry go round,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go.

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

A Father's Cry
Last night I dreamed I cried
Tears flowed like a hurricane far and wide
I woke sad and depressed for things I now regret
A hollowed feeling makes me so upset
A blank face I now put on and wear
I hold back the tears so my children see me not go there
I hurt so much inside to have lost so much so fast
I ponder how long the pain will last
I see the grief in their eyes as they ask me why
No answers for came just a tear from my eye
How, how, how could this be
I have lost the ones most dearest to me
A broken family we are now
And at times I ask myself how
Why did happen to us
To stay to together was a must
What such madness I can’t believe
For all I can do is watch them leave
Iron bird takes them to distant lands
No more we walk and hold hands
No more trips to the mall
Yes my friends I have lost it all
My house is no longer a home
For the first time we are alone
For us this is a major crisis
We could still speak on man-made devices
Might as well you be in outer space
For can’t hold and touch your face
It hurts so much to see you weep
But these words you should keep
Whatever pain, whatever strife
I will continue to love you more than life
The heavens opened to celebrate your birth
No precious medal can attain your worth
A seldom promise I made that day
I would take care of you come what may
No mater where, no matter when
I will be there for you till the bitter end
Please for me don’t you cry
This is not the end nor is it goodbye
For neither wherever you are nor whatever you do
Remember that I will always love you
We will love you just the same and shall not be refrained
For no greater love in this life can ever be attained
Chin up and cry no longer
For the love I have will continue to grow stronger
You are my life and my link to the future
For you are my son and my loving daughter

Mr. Native, Now You Must Go...
mr. native
now that you have grown into a man
and learned
everything that we have taught you
now, you must leave
for you no longer accept any rules from us
you are big
your hands no longer fetch water for us
your mind no longer obey orders
you are free to go
and be on your own now
take nothing
for we have nothing to give to you anymore
with your freedom
now you must have burdens
with your liberty
now we have nothing to watch
we are even now
as you must with speed dispatch
what you want to become
we are not your masters anymore
as you are no longer a slave
go fly away, strong bird
find your worms
and monkeys
find your nest
and fly the seas!

So It All Ends
So it All Ends
Wilfred Charles Mellers Tuesday, December 28,2010
Well, well, ain’t this about a stitch
Lying here bloody in a stinking ditch
Waiting on the good lord to come along
Thinking of what went wrong
Cloths torn as all hope shattered
Who I am or was truly never mattered
Achievements came seldom few
What was I suppose to do
Words no longer express
My life was such a mess
Waiting for it to start
But it was always falling apart
No beginning just a bitter end
Pockets empty without a farthing to lend
Back broken for too far I have bent
My entire life so irrelevant
So here I lay waiting on the hour
Demons now my soul devour
No more the bashful wallflower
My stomach no longer sour
No longer down on my knees
No more having to beg please
Darkness now all I see
No more they shall remember me
No more days sunny and bright
Ever long comes the night
Fading slowly as they walk bye
They could careless if I live or die
They see me there and they are aware
Along with there business for they don’t care
Another victim of the street
He never saw his life complete
Never was the great athlete
No fancy shoes on my feet
No politician I tried to unseat
Never was my life sweet
All good things must come to an end
Time no one can suspend
In this life you have not a friend
For it was all just for pretend

The Dweller (my daughter)
you came into this world unexpectedly
how you would change my life, i did not foresee.
holding you in my arms, my heart began to melt
bringing out emotions which i never felt.
i looked into your eyes, and what i could see
'was your future staring back at me.'
i pictured your life every step of the way
and to GOD i did pray.
asking him to watch over you
and everything in life that you would do.
as you got older you was strong as a house
you was no longer that frightened little mouse.
you became the woman that you are today
and nothing in life will stand in your way.
and because of you, i have grown stronger.
i will not hold my feelings back any longer.
i speak my mind as i see life start to unfold
sometimes too much, or so i'm told.
we have learned from one another
the true meaning of life and love.
for two hearts can not be as close as we
and our love has been set free.
i love you more than life itself
and in my heart you will always dwell.

Waiting For You
Waiting For You
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, August 27,2010, @ 8: 50: 43 AM
In my days of solitude for melancholy interludes so rude
Imaginings once thought everlasting are now shades of grays for happier days
Thoughts once shared have now all disappeared
Hollowed now are memories from distant countries
Wavering in my mind of happier times so kind
Solis seeking words no longer speaking
These words in the vernacular once spectacular
Saying my goodbyes as my dreams dies
Joys once bountiful to love so beautiful
Filled with anger as days grow longer
My heart beats from stress while working with less
Yet still trying my best without rest
What more can I say to you for respect long overdue
My heart won’t divest beating loudly in my chest
Seldom can I unwind for memories set in rewind
Life so unkind for that’s how it’s designed
Yellow walls now confined and the sun no longer shined
For the heart is blind and wont leave you behind
How long will it last as all hope fades fast
All roads incline from letters I no longer sign
Is it true that I still love you?
For you I’m dumbfound for my life ends when you’re not around
Days go on forever for these ties wont sever
I’m so lost without you and I don’t know what to do
These days I hate and only serve’s to frustrate
Searching for an updat so I wait
Ideas I review for hopes I try to rescue
Standing in a cue for life I renew
This line should I pursue a new?
Waiting for a breakthrough I make-do
Abused and always standing accused
It will only end and I will ascend when I’m in your arms again

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

To stay in places and to leave, to trust, to distrust, to no longer believe and believe again, . . . to watch the snow come, to watch it go, to hear rain on a tent, to know where I can find what I want.

What I Learned Today
What I learned today is that there will be a tomorrow,
what I learned today is the truth is full of pain and sorrow.
What I learned yesterday is people make mistakes,
what I learned yesterday is I will do whatever it takes.
What I learned Saturday when i watched you leave I take back
what I said, what I learned Saturday is when we fought i dread.
What I learned now is that part of my heart is gone,
what I learned now is you will no longer wake me up at dawn.
It is quiet with out you,
I feel I have many things to do.

Oh See How They Dance!
their form
their posture
their movement
oh see how they dance!
their laughter
their joy
their smiles
oh see how they dance!
behind their faces of happiness and joy
they hide their true self
behind their masks they hide...
oh watch how they dance! ! !
across the stage
across the floor
up and over and under
they dance oh they dance! ! ! !
they act
they sing
they play
we watch how they dance! ! ! ! !
while we watch we think
what they hide behind their masks
on that stage and in character
and rejoicing! ! ! ! ! ! !
like nothing is wrong with their lives
i wish i would dance! ! !
but i go and i live my
boring old life and
oh i see how they dance! ! ! ! !

stay lost in the crowd...

How Much Longer
I'm stuck
Inside
Can't get this done wish I could hide
This scene is really such a pain
I just
Can't see
How this is any use to me
This work is drivin' me insane
All I really want is to get away (can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
It's on
My mind
I think I'm runnin out of time
This weight is more than I can take
That clock
Is slow
It's never gonna let me go
This time I need more than just a break
All I really want is to get away (can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
And here I go again (and here I go again)
Wondering when (when)
I can have my time to play
(Can anybody tell me)
(Can anybody, can anybody tell me)
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can play that game
How much longer
Till I'm done
How much longer
Wanna feel the sun
How much longer
I can't wait
How much longer until I can
How much longer until I can play that game
(I want to play that game)
Play that game
(I want to play that game)

My Little Princess
My Little Princess
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Thursday, January 6,2011, @ 11: 33 AM
I just don’t know her any more
For my very heart and soul she tore
I thought that I would’ve been there to watch her grow older
I use to once carry her on my shoulder
She was so beautiful that she would stop traffic
She and I were cut from the same fabric
She was her own worst critic
Everything she took so drastic
A drama queen like most little girls
She was my very own string of pearls
How she hated when we’d walk from her school
To be seen with me now would be too uncool
Picked her up from school when she felt sick
Yes she was the outsider and the maverick
Never she was the prudent skeptic
Her smile were never plastic
Told her back then in herself to believe
I suppose I was foolish and somewhat naive
Days of old truly magic
She was my music and I the lyric
Christmas we’d eat Achee, salt fish, and with fried dumplings
Boiling Easter eggs and carving up pumpkins
Tuesdays were the days for fish and chips
Ketchup and Tatar sauce we used as dips
The day came so tragic
Lost her love for reasons defying logic
In a dream it came to me but I’m not psychic
So from there on she started to panic
She never fit into any click
She was always that outside chick
She once use to get so very carsick
She the beauty so classic
How sweet it was when she sang “Dreaming Of You”
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez and Shania Twain songs too
Each time I hear her voice as a baby I cried
Reaching out to her I’ve truly tried
When she was born I first held her in my arms
Sheltered and protected her from all life’s harms
How I long to hold her once again
So these words I commit to pen
Thinking back to way back when
I shed a tear again and again
I cannot rescue her from the pain
So I sit a cuss the rain
Even though I had lost her mother
In front of her I would never put another
I would have given her the world if I could
To erase her pain I’d give my life I would
Some fights you just can’t win
She will no longer let me in
God knows how long has it been
Yes I took one too many on the chin
So looking back on yesteryear
It all seems now so very clear
On me she can always depend
For her I would do it all over again

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

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

This Is The Picture
Excellent birds
Flying birds
Excellent birds
Watch them fly, there they go
Falling snow
Excellent snow
Here it comes. watch it fall
Long words
Excellent words
I can hear them now
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
Im sitting by the window
Watching the snow fall
Im looking out
And Im moving, turning in time
Catching up. moving in
Jump up! I can land on my feet. look out!
This is the picture, this is the picture
This is the picture, this is the picture
Looking out. watching out
When I see the future I close my eyes
I can see it now
I see pictures of people, rising up
Pictures of people, falling down
I see pictures of people
Theyre standing on their heads, theyre ready
Theyre looking out, look out!
Theyre watching out, watch out!
Theyre looking out, look out!
Theyre watching out, watch out!
I see pictures of people
I see pictures of people
