Someday we’ll be together
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Sunday, November 6,2011 @ 6: 21 AM
Lost and confused
Not knowing what to do
Understanding not the words being said
I cannot silence the noises in my head
Standing looking into space
My bed is such a lonely place
No longer seeing the sunlight
No longer sleeping at night
Rests just wont come
My body feels so numb
Shivering stands my neck hairs
Can’t recover from the nightmares
Thoughts now random
Peace comes seldom
Me, myself, and I in a threesome
At the foot of my bed stood a phantom
Lonely wont leave me alone
From my steed I’ve been thrown
Darkness covers the horizon
My mind is my dungeon
Once I was in heaven
Paradise now seems foreign
Stubbornness I forgave
For the warmth I crave
Finding so hard to exist
Nothing was check from my list
Happiness was my only concern
I have no idea now when it’ll return
Broken is my heart
My mate and I are apart
Sleepless nights rousing in the darkness
Solitude is now my fortress
Vanished without a trace
The smile no longer on my face
Wanting your tender embrace
Thoughts I cannot erase
Did things in such haste
A rainbow I chased
Steps I retraced
Now feeling displaced
Missing your fragrance
Needing your presence
Needed now is patience
The heart knows no distance
Now I must make due
All my thoughts are on you
No matter what the weather
Someday we’ll be together

Everything You Don’t Know About Me
My mind is lost
My heart is lost
My body is lost
My spirit is lost
And I don’t know
If I can find it.
My pride is somewhat lost
My soul is somewhat lost
My thoughts are somewhat lost
My words are somewhat lost
Can not find what to say.
My life is confused
My daily happiness
Is still confused.
My smiles that I give
Are confused
But I don’t want to pretend
That I am happy when I’m not.
The smiles are numb to me
The laughs are numb to me
The good spirit is numb to me
The goals are lost and forever
Numb to me.
The love is no longer there
The happiness is no longer there
The smiles and pretending is
No longer there.
The happy thoughts are
No longer there.
Nowhere to be found
This is me.
But I don’t get it
They hurt me
Can’t they see?
Maybe I should just stay out
Of their lives.

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

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

My Soul Mate
My Soul Mate
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Saturday, November 19,2011 @ 1: 31 PM
My distress overwhelms me
Seeking contentment yet not finding any
Great is the void right now in my existence
Happier days are putting up a resistance
Peace of mind I find seldom
Waiting on a day that may never come
Sweet the memories of true winsome
Reflections inspiriting I do welcome
From isolation the body goes into seizure
For all things great or small needs closure
All things now feel of displeasure
A life no more of simple leisure
I feel so adrift without you
Now there’s nothing I can do
Dreams modest won’t come true
My glee passes in review
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
What I feel cannot be defined
To others I am sincerely blind
From this destiny I am now resigned
Hearing your voice brings so much gladness
It chases away all my sadness
Trying my best from not shedding a tear
When I see you everything becomes clear
Signing off I start to brood
Elation turns to a bitter mood
Feeling regret for the times we argued
For this heart you’ve truly slued
Lonely is the soul that waits
Thoughts in the mind vibrates
Lingering on a distinctive date
For I So long for my soul mate

Music come again
Never winning head is spinning emotions cross to their beginning
Music love music lost death is here inside of us
Always wanting always needing knife will cut until there’s bleeding
Words wont flow thoughts wont move did I ever have that groove
Art for art or so they said get these words out of my head
Selling out I wont go just don’t need it any more
Time keeps ticking like the drum will I ever have that fun
Girl and boy heart and love music is the freeing one
Can I make one last stand will the music come again
People pushing you back down to the soundless cold hard ground
Will they take music from me and rip my heart out oh so gently
Never knowing what to do a deep deep darkness finding you
Forget these words and forget the music did I ever want to do it?
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

Being Used
So many thoughts
so hard to control
i guess wondering
has really taken it's toll
killing myself slowly
with these thoughts unsure
I've lost everything i am
no longer am i pure
i am no longer strong, i am weak
death haunts me quietly
into my thoughts he peaks
pissed off and lonely
sad and confused
i guess it all was true
when they said i was being used

What is your happiness?
happiness for some is a buck and a quarter,
happiness for other is a son or a daughter.
but what is happiness to you?
sure you can define,
if your feeling is such that you're no longer mine.
what is happiness...
and how can it be;
that there was once happiness,
now, no longer seen?
paradise we 'shared'
twas paradise to me,
now the paradise is just that of a flooded dream.
time is of the essance,
but time is what you need.
time to mend a broken heart,
or tear it at the seam.
words unspoken,
one side unheard,
all that your feeling,
is my number one concern.
you thoughts, your feelings this knowledge I yearn,
all that I've spoken, but now it's your turn.

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

Faded Dreams
Faded Dreams
Written by Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, November 18,2012
Now I know dreams don't come true
For I wont be sharing them with you
No walking in the park
No sharing kisses in the dark
No showing you off to my friends
No spending romantic weekends
No more rides for all it's worth
No taking you to the land of my birth
Your tender hands I wanted to hold
Now the truth begins to unfold
Now the music has died
Just because to me you lied
In time all things reveal
Secrets no longer conceal
Happy life to me was ideal
Now I know how you truly feel
Your actions show you don't care
When I call you're not there
To comfort you I did my best
Put above all the rest
Gave you all that I could give
I would go hungry so you could live
Hours with you I did spend
Not even a letter you would send
Now my dreams have faded away
But I'll be alright come what may
Things time will not erase
Questions pondered you couldn't face
No more time on you I'll waste
No longer for the breeze I will chase
Dreams don't always come true
For god knows I had really loved you

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

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

Only Lonely
Only lonely by hootie & the blowfish
Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs
Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face, your touch
Then I realize
How I dont even know your name
If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies?
But I believe that I could be the one youre needing
cause im
Only lonely on the inside
Didnt mean to take away your dreams
Im only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts
And I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things that I will say and i
Will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same
Time
Would your world skip a beat cause it was me?
If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories?
And I believe that you could be the one Im needing
And im
Only lonely on the inside
Didnt mean to take away your dreams
Im only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts
If I could give back your hopes, your joys, your
Treasures
Dont you think that I would change my world?
But theres so many things trying to pull us
Together
And even though were far apart I can still watch
You walk away
Only lonely on the inside
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, what do you see?
Only lonely on the inside
Didnt mean to take away your dreams
Im only lonely on the inside
In your deepest thoughts, what do you see?
Only lonely on the inside
I didnt mean, I didnt mean, to steal your dreams
Away
Im only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts,
Do you see me?
Only lonely on the inside, Im only lonely when
Youre gone
Only lonely on the inside, I see you babe, I see you
Only lonely on the inside, only lonely, only lonely
On the inside
Im only lonely on the inside

Chasing The Dream Like The Breeze
Chasing The Dream Like The Breeze
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, November 7,2010 @ 12: 32 PM
I had a dream once that fell apart and broke my heart
I had a dream the next day that too went a stray
I had dreamed another one that ended before it begun
Dreams are shattered glass of my past like moments never last
Luck swept out the door too soon for the rains are monsoons
Straws blow in the wind for never too much was that tender touch
Lost in space for so on goes on the rat race
Peace of mind to find so long left behind for its luster no longer shines
The glory days now gone and now comes the dawn
Movements not too smart but I need to be with the beat of my heart
Harder grows the days facing while dreams I am chasing
Once all was clear now it vanishes in thin air
Caught midstream floating from one to another extreme
In turmoil I dreamed for all was never as it seemed
Down goes my self-esteem for sadly it was all just a dream
In my head I scream for all the rivers I swam were all upstream
Giving it all you got but never reaching the top
Struggles I no longer win for the air is just too thin
Bad mouth speaking for they are mice squeaking
Lost is the mystique for now all angles are oblique
I am not the freak in dark alleys sneak
Always turned the other cheek for seldom found what I seek
Done before I could peek went my lucky streak
My soul does not reek like the bleak pipsqueak
Metamorphic is not my physique for it could do with a tweak
Considered an antique and said hands said to be weak
They critique and never understood the technique
I am meek and quite unique to speak

My Past Life
When you look down upon my face;
And you see the sadness and also the disgrace,
Please remember, they were not always there;
But think of me in your thoughts and your prayer.
As it was not really that long ago;
When happiness and joy in my face did show,
When love and peace had also occupied my heart;
But then from me, those emotions did part.
A smile and a laugh was the first to leave;
Then next were my dreams and the need to believe,
My feelings and words of compassion would disappear;
Then stronger grew my hate, and also my fear.
The world that I knew it was no longer my friend;
The hope that I had I would no longer send,
My life and my home it became a different place;
And it is all there when you look down, upon my face.

Lost, Then By Love Found
I once was cold as a stone.
I once was lost and all alone.
Then by love I was found.
This lonely heart was taught of love.
No longer am I a prisoner of solitude, Bound…
The cold darkness is now filled with warming light, From the heavens above!
This heart once singing a lonely song, Now sings love’s sweet symphony!
This once lonely heart no longer alone!
Now I have found a lover to call my own!
And from the chains of solitude, I am set free!

Tears For The Dying (d0 You Remember)
“Do you remember? ”
I have come to realize that you don’t have a clue
You have not a clue to why I’ve stopped talking to you
It is simply for I have no choice
The pain is too great when I hear your voice
Inside the hunger and the pain is killing me
Knowing you and I will never more be
The mails you write brings me grief
For the hurt there is just no relief
Without you life is too unfulfilling
Distancing now myself I am now willing
Please to these words do not deserve responding
For I cannot stand the thought of us never belonging
This morning I awoke in tears
For me now no one cares
Me lying with arms open wide
Dreaming you were by my side
Reaching out to give you an embrace
But you vanished without even a trace
No longer now can I kiss your face
Between us now such distance and too much space
Sadden eyes dies lacking an opinion
Chances gone now of any chanced reunion
So I try to hide the pain that’s calling
But the tears I cry descends like hurricanes falling
Wishing you were here with me
For all I have now are memories
Thoughts of the time we once shared
Thoughts of the times you once cared
Two birds of the same feather thoughts of us being
Visions of you were all I was ever seeing
How you have forgotten how I stayed with you in the hospital all night
You have forgotten how I held your hands till the morning light
You have forgotten how I prayed that you would feel better
You have forgotten how my love would stand all inclement weather
You have forgotten how to me you were my one and only treasure
Remember how by your side I stayed
Remember how it matter not to me how much you weighted
Remember how I said I loved you the way you are
Remember how I said you were my shining star
Remember how I said you’re beautiful with or without glasses
Remember I attended with you all the lama’s classes
Remember me sitting by you and my reaction
Remember me coaching you through each contraction
Remember me staying up until you gave birth
Remember me saying you were the greatest on earth
Remember how hard it was to take our child’s first picture
Remember thinking in our lives a child being a fixture
Remember the days of laughter and fun
Remember the days when our lives had just begun
Remember the days of you loving me and me loving you
Remember the days do you?
Remember the time I chased you around the house
Remember the time when you were my spouse
Remember the days for I remember them all
From your grace was such a great distance to fall
I remember how you made me feel ten foot tall
I remember being in your arms feeling so small
I remember the time when it was just you and I
Do you remember the tears I have cried?
Do you remember how worried I was the night you didn’t call?
Do you remember me saying you were my all?
Do you remember driving to the mall to escape the summer’s heat?
Do you remember when we thought life was so sweet?
Do you remember how I would defend you till the better end?
Do you remember being more than just a lover for you were my best friend?
Do you remember anything at all?
Goodbye to sweet memories
Birds in the trees no longer sing for thee
The sun no longer shines for me
The moonlight shines now for other lovers
Nothing left in this world to discover
You have gone and moved on
So must I for I have to try
But for now inside I die
So to my first true love and friend goodbye

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

It Is Raining In Paris
It Is Raining in Paris
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Thursday, February 23,2012 @ 6: 38 PM
The lights has gone out over Paris
Venus is no more an affectionate zealous
To my adoration I was honest
Promises kept I worked my hardest
Vanished gladness for I've misplaced my heart
The radiance has gone out over the rampart
The sun has gone out today
Hands stretched texture to find my way
Uncertain I am for skies are gray
Gone now are livelier days
Bouncing into obscured walls
Never looked out for the pitfalls
Collapsed into an empty pit
I am no longer quick with the wit
Seldom things remind
Are my eyes inaccessible or am I blind?
So many thoughts run through my mind
My hand separation to sign
Beaten down by the daily grind
So unkind mankind I find
Who cares for the hour draws near
For impending days are filled with fear
Nowhere to run and hide
No love sits by my side
For the love inside has died
I sit and pine for days to rewind
The plans treacherously designed
And to all things combine
The heart pays the heaviest fine

The Journey
The Journey
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Tuesday, November 9,2010 @ 6: 31 PM
Billfold empty filled with lint
Text so small I have to squint
Puzzled by questions without a hint
For the finish line I have to sprint
Perilous trod without a blueprint
Following shades of shadows setup for a stint
Chewing on my last stick of spearmint
Broken limb nursed back by a splint
Arrived by night without fanfare
Searching for what that’s not really there
For journeys unknown to a place elsewhere
To the belly of the beast and the bottom of its lair
Circles slowly became a square
Bound to the ground by a wheelchair
Future seemed so unclear
Software’s no longer drives their hardware
How does someone escape a nightmare?
A better plan they wanted to prepare
Wanting not to sit in total despair
Their steps are now leading them nowhere
The little engine that said it couldn’t
Ventured places maybe it shouldn’t
Took chances other locomotives wouldn’t
Thought thoughts other trains hadn’t
Into the storm stepping boldly
Faced experiences some ending badly
Escaped perils sometimes barely
Reprieve lost and found so many briefly
Saw countries scores wanted to see
Told stupid jokes often so corny
Seas serene turquoise on days sunny
Stood on shores so positively Bonnie
Looking back no more on things I’ve lost
Paid the price at such a high cost
My windows no longer need to be defrosted
I ran a marathon and now I am exhausted
