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

She has made it apparently clear
The letters that I write falls on a deaf ear
What have I done wrong I’m not aware
For the love I feel inside is still there
If only I knew I could’ve made it better
She refuses to now answer my letter
Her love fit me like a warm cozy sweater
Haunting my dreams for I cannot forget her
Like a stifling man needing air
Attitude given is so unfair
Without you I am nowhere
For no other woman to you can compare
Not hearing from you is like a nightmare
My eyes for you I will impair
In the midday sun I will stare
For life without you I cannot bear
My solemn oath to you I do swear
Wanting you for life for we are the perfect pair
Moments of heavenly delights we do share
A better life for us I came back to prepare
Questions asked do I dare?
Is it your intention to give me a scare?
Are you taking your love elsewhere?
Has my circles now turned square?
I was always looking out for your welfare
My precious gem found so rare
This is leaving me in utter despair
My heart is in need of a desperate repair
Hurting so badly if you are unaware
On my sleeves my heart I wear
Down the middle of my soul there is a tear
Broken my heart for I have not a spare
This to me is not fair
Each night I recite for you a prayer
My spirit now bound to a wheelchair
My love for you I’ll always declare
No more do I hear the fanfare
No one is longer home when I get there
Broken are all the drums of snare
I lay back in my lonely armchair
The lust for life I no longer care

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

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

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

Midnight At The Lost And Found
Hey Ricky, now mine is empty
How about one for you
We could set it out together
Seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home
One pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies talk that talk
About who loves who - who loves best
Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Midnight...
Have a double it's gettin' late
You'll get home home, just rely on fate
Place just finally came alive
Good old boys just arrived
Stools keep changin' faces
And the night just slips away
And like a long distance love affair
Soon you've got to pay
Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Midnight...
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody get back in line
Last call for the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills

This World I Bid Goodnight
THIS WORLD I BID GOODNIGHT
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Tuesday, October 27,2009 @ 12: 37 AM
No one cried the day I died for they didn’t see it coming
Wept no one for the despondent son for now lays sleeping
The hand was dealt and things were felt could not I overcome
No longer could he cope with the lost of hope and never was he bunkum
Slowed now the sprinter as autumn turns to winter
Aged eyes now the squinter wedged in flesh a splinter
Drew his last breath for vigilance was death
Creepy crawlers always lurking for nothing was truly working
Gave up his life work as he slowly went berserk
Deep in murk the fool, the jerk dwelling in the middle of the cirque
Lost in the network and unanswered questions by the salesclerk
On his face never wore a smirk so he falls on his dirk
A good man it was said but voices spoke in his head
His heart truly bled as barely he slept in a bed
Sleepless eyes run red as the life he shed
Once stood in good stead philosophy no longer to spread
Never lied, never tried inside wanting to hide away
Arguments heated but never he cheated molding he did the clay
Fish wrapped in tinfoil, curry will spoil, and a house full of such turmoil
In a basement to toil as emotion they boil for now chicken fries in hot oil
Raining the day plays the band of drum and fife
Never accomplished all he wanted in his life
Deeply cut the wounds from love’s knife
Agony, struggling to pain and strife
Funny how it seems so clear as I look back on the yesteryear
Legs are weak, my voice seldom I speak for defend I cannot hear
Passed by the parade for my bed has already been made
As the music start to fades all debits are finally paid
No longer putting up a fight for dawn has turned to twilight
Trees have fruits that are blight as the bedbugs always bite
Life no longer excite for all is not alright but I fight on despite
Words I cannot recite but I was always polite
Never I took flight and no one I spite
Danced for your delight, as the grand jury wanted to indite
Taken to such a height to extinguish flames once fire could ignite
As conflagration burns bright the campsite, fears the counselor wanted to incite
No longer stuck and held up in a jam they sacrificed the sacred lamb
For those who never really gave a damn, I am who I am
Pandemonium seize then night I shall not be so contrite
Longing no longer for the limelight and to this insanity I bid goodnight

I Dream
dream of a better world where as people would see each other nothing more than people of a different shade of gray
I dream of all my problems crumbling in my hands never to utter another sound
I dream of love renewed no more forsaken the day of my fulfillment
I dream of blues skies and flowers lying in a field of hope and no more despair
I dream of moonlit nights where the smell of jasmine permeates the air with its sweet aroma
I dream of being in love once again with that person that just takes my breath away
I dream of angels dancing in candle light
I dream of naked waterfalls that drench my soul and ease my pain
I dream of earthly fulfillments never imagined before
I dream of paradise lost and never found
I dream of turquoise seas surrounding my unadorned body
I dream of piece no longer the beast devouring the children of the west
I dream of calmer seas that no longer rocks the boat of tranquility
I dream of you and me forever be
I dream no more the lonely night of my salvation
I dream of happiness once more on my enlightened soul
I dream of no more shadows haunting me as I slumber
I dream no more my weary eyes of sadness abound
I dream crying the day cometh the dawn no more
I dream walking on the beach with the one I love hand in hand
I dream of midnight caressing while the sun comes up
I dream of what could have been, what could be, and what has gone
I dream to no longer forsake my sanity to the darkness of my emotions
I dream of a place whereas I can lounge and bask in my redolence roses
I dream a dream of lesser conscienceless to the world that holds me back
I dream of no more waking hours consumed by society at large
I dream the dream of romantics no longer uttering there voices aloud
I am a dreamer, but without dreamers what would this world be
As empty as the heart that knows no love
As dark as the night that knows no stars
I think so there for I must have feelings
I live so there for I must be alive
I sleep so there for I must be a dreamer
Dream on and let the night bring you to places in the sun

A Real Sellout
A Real Sellout
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, September 5,2010 @ 11: 16 AM
It’s for you these words I write
I hope you sleep well at night
My name your words now smear
For you I won’t even shed a tear
Are you happy with the decisions you’ve made?
What about the friends you’ve betrayed?
What about the lies you’ve told?
What about the friends you treated so cold?
At least my conscience is clear
To your friends you were never sincere
You where a friend I once held near
Your cries in the night no one will hear
About yourself is all you care
One day you will end up in total despair
You are mixed up in a dirty affair
Shame is the price you shall bear
Deceitful and spinning a web of lies
You and the Devil are true allies
You will come to your own demise
For prudence you will never exercise
So Many years friendship wasted
Bitter fruits are now being tasted
For you I don’t hold any malice
Any care once held is now callous
My mistake was thinking you were a friend
I thought that you I could depend
I had thought that you were a godsend
I suppose that was all just pretend
This I do without any apprehension
Stricken now your name I shall no longer mention
You are foul, crude, and cannot be trusted
For now of you I am feeling disgusted
Money is where you’ve found your happiness
Your heart one day shall feel the sadness
Wondering through life you trod aimless
You’ve proven that you are truly classless
Thanks for the lookout
You tried you best I doubt
Now I now what you’re all about
You truly are a real sellout

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

Sorry For The Day
Sorry For The Day
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Tuesday, December 22,2009 @ 10: 24 AM
When I am up someone always brings me right back down
Sorrow and emptiness all around can be found in the happiest town
When I feel joy that’s when the pain starts
There’s another day filled with broken hearts
I never enjoy myself for it will never last
Stuck here more in the never-ending past
I could be happy if the world let me be
No room for joy or happiness for me
When I am away that's when it starts
Another day filled with more broken hearts
When I’m away it all falls apart
Discontented peddlers wares in my pushcart
Heartbreak greets daily has it becomes my sweetheart
My symphony blue composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Deaf to the world jotting voiceless sound composed Ludwig van Beethoven
Roasted to a crisp my dessert notes in my spoiled oven
Why does misery follows me around
It tracks me down like a bloodhound
Like the wind I ride as a greyhound
I understand it not, I am dumbfound
Thoughts ponder I so profound
Down-trodden I through this earth wondering I trod west to eastbound
Through yonder woods and valleys I flee as the foxhound do
For reasons unbenounced to me brought to foreground too
Gray skies followed by a darken storm cloud
Screaming silently whispered no words loud
Truth is that my joy cannot be found
So I sit now motionless and quietly without making a sound

This Life Of Mine
Thought about it all day long
Wanted to so bad but couldn't get the courage or the strength
To pick up that knife to mark on me one more time
But I didn't I haven't seen scars from a knife in a long while
Felt like something was holding me back
All my courage just went away
And all my strength just turned into weakness
How I wanted to and needed too just to feel alive
Spending most my days wondering my life away
Wishing to be whole when all I ever wanted was a dream come true
Behind my eyes lye broken dreams
Dreams that I know I won't ever fix
But that's over and done or is it
I'm lost and confused about everything
Trying to figure out where I stand
And I'm on a emotional roller coaster and can't get off
So alone and filled with pain from head to toe
Deep down my soul is screaming
And my heart is bruised
My whole body is broken everywhere
Sometimes I wish I could go to the land of no return
Maybe then I wouldn't hurt near as bad
Maybe then I wouldn't be filled with pain or broken all over the place
Wish I knew where to begin with this life but I can't even find the starting line

Meaningless
Sometimes you do things for others
never realising what it does to you.
It feels as if you’re helping them
then realize what it has done to you.
You get lost along the way
withdrawing from the world
and no longer having anything to say.
Gone is that, that nurtured you
as you turn your back away.
Your world becomes a blank page
with just one word written on it
and that word is despair.
You no longer have anyone
to talk to and share your ideas.
You recede into apologies
for nothing that you’ve done.
The comfort zone you once had
is gone never to return.
You slip into boredom that you once knew.
Your life is filled with images,
which are meaningless to you.
Your stuck in a world
that is neither happy or sad,
but which is meaningless and empty.
Your creativity has all but ebbed away
and shrunk back into the void
that once controlled your life
and looks like doing it again.
You wander through each day
devoid of the things you need
to carry your life through. It happened why you ask.
The answer is not so readily available.
Slowly you fall into loneliness
where no thoughts are written down,
sliding into an empty world
where your voice is never heard
and no voices come back to you.
The world of desolation
where you are no longer an individual,
but just another empty drone.
Your emotions have been drained away,
your feelings are now gone.
You face each day without caring
whether it will be your last.

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

Lost & Found
I always used to be afraid
That I was going to lose my way
I never used to walk in line but stray
I never thought I'd see it through
That I could deal with losing you
But suddenly I see the light of day
Leading me in
From out of the night
Staying on course - I'm still alive
I had to confess I never thought I would ever survive
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found
Focused on my altered state
I would just disorientate
Suffering alone amongst the crowd
Drifting on a sea of doubt
And no one ever heard me shout
That I was lost and couldn't find my way
No one at hand
Having no plan
Stumbled through a barren land
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found
I was lost and found
I had hit the ground
I was lost but now I found
That I don't need no one
To survive
You've got to believe alone
You'll rise
Starting to run
Shedding the load
Now I can see I'm close to home
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found

I Want To Be There
I Want To Be There
Wilfred Charles Mellers, Sunday, September 2,2012
I sit patiently awaiting my turn
Colors turn blue, red, and too auburn
Crave not sights western
My spicy Thai I still yearn
Hands reaching out to the sky
Comments posted still I try
Checked message while I sigh
Toil sought not in amply supply
With joy I once had a love affair
Blank pages I do now stare
A cumbersome leer I still wear
Not a shilling I can even spare
Bound now to my armchair
Waiting for something to take me there
Here smile none can compare
So I give a little prayer
Thoughts sometimes of despair
Nights end without fanfare
Dwelling on places elsewhere
For life sometimes seems unfair
Forth I went to prepare
Essences of lavender fill the air
For here I just don't care
Wherever you are I want to be there

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

Costing Dearly
What I had prized was only a memory
Fancy fading images of what use to be
The truth is you never valued me
On my soul you showed no mercy
What I had adored is only in my head
Forsaken, shanked, and left for dead
How memories sometimes distort the truth
Now a bittersweet taste of sour Vermouth
Better off I am now for I can see clear
For times needed you were never there
Your affection was never really sincere
My assessments you never wanted to hear
So much time spent wasted
Rancid now the foods once tasted
Still memories I want erased
Two-faced jester with dignity displaced
For time and only time shall tell
From good graces you fell
Once great but now just a shell
You fade to shades of pastel
You and the jezebel crew
Red no longer wanting blue
What did you get yourself into?
Your words spoken so untrue
Someone lacking a single virtue
Playing now at a different venue
Should have seen my point of view
No one now comes to your rescue
What a price to pay at such a cost
Iced over now from winter’s frost
To only realize what you have lost
All you see now is only my exhaust

I Wanted So Much
I wanted so much
for you to love me.
I wanted so much
for you to care,
but you would always walk by me
as if I wasn’t there.
You said you wanted to be worldly wise,
and then you took him with all his lies.
You took him to be your partner
and in church, he said he would love you forever.
All I ever wanted
was you to love me.
Years have passed by
and I saw you yesterday.
You weren’t the radiant beauty
that I used to know
and I barely recognised you.
You had changed so much from those yesterdays.
Your sun tan looks had faded
and your auburn hair was now grey.
Age and life had taken their toll on you
and you were no longer with him.
He was but a distant memory in the past
and the lies he blinded you with never did last.
Your searching now for someone
whose love would be true,
but it's too late for me
as I have found someone new
and I cannot turn back the clock
even for you.
A long time ago,
I wanted so much
for you to love me,
but sadly no more.

Like sands flowing through my hands I blew it
Stupid and selfish I was being
Couldn’t communicate what I was feeling
Lost it all one day online
From time to time I still wish she were still mine
Someone now I can never find
She was once so loving, tender, and kind
My young ones gone to another state
Years now gone maybe eight
My youngest girl it’s me now she hates
It wasn’t me that opened the floodgates
I told I tried to do everything that I could
I thought it all she understood
To give it all back that I would
Now all gone downstream like driftwood
To her I tried to still communicate
Seems to much, to little, and to late
She is now fourteen and still growing
I never expected her to be all knowing
I chased her mother away for I was not being attentive
Too little to late for I was so passive-aggressive
I love her so and never showed her
All I was showing was just my anger
I should have given her what she wanted
Hurtful words used I wish I could’ve recanted
I never realized I was hurting her so
I had no choice but to let her go
I loved her so and still do now
I will have to make my life work now somehow
I was lost and thought I was found
Now love’s buried far underground
To hold and love I have no one there
She says about me she still does care
Looked for love and couldn’t find it anywhere
To try again, do I dare?
