What Women Wants?
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers Tuesday, April 1,2008
Women say they are looking for a nice guy
But yet they always pass me by
Is it that they don’t try?
Or is it that I am an ugly guy, why?
Is it that glassy look upon my face?
Do you feel you have to use your mace?
Am I an alien not of this earth?
Or is it that I am from foreign birth?
I am not the devil’s seed
But I just might be what you need
See me, I am the shadow on the wall
I am not too thick and not too tall
Honest, faithful, loyal I have always been
Your heart is the prize I want to win
I may not be the knight in armor
I know I’m not like your former
Inconsiderate friend and Lover
They were always under cover
In dark alleys they creep
Night is not when vampires sleep
Searching for that panty meat
Flesh not vegetables they want to eat
On hollowed ground they can’t place there feet
In sacred places they can’t take a seat
That never invested the time they spent
Flowers they never sent
Promises they never meant
Out of your life quickly they went
The shadow in the dark yet still I must be
An ordinary man not much to see
Someone that will have arms open wide
Someone that will always be by your side
To break your heart is not too smart
For I will keep your best interests in heart
You can choose to keep walking by
But you would’ve missed one last nice guy

A Place In Time
Written by: Wilfred C. Mellers Monday, December 04,2006
I have been to many places
I have known many faces
But I have yet to have met that special someone
I’ve been high and low
Even once my heart was a glow
But no one that’s been the one
I’ve been here and I’ve been there
I have found no one that wants to care
I am still searching for that someone near and dear
I’ve looked around the corner and over the bend
I have still not found a special friend
I’ve met many people that were close
None of them I’ve loved the most
I care for everyone that I have met
Looking back life I can not regret
The feeling of being a pair is still there
Do you really care?
Jump into the fire if you dare
Enter into my world, just walk right in
You will see the places I’ve been
Walk a mile in my shoes
Take a chance if you choose
Take a leap of faith with me
Look into my eyes and you will see
A man that gives himself completely
A man that needs you desperately
A man that will be there not just occasionally
A man that knows responsibility
A man that will never fall for infidelity
A man that will love you down to the bone
A man that would never leave you alone
A man that there through good times or bad
A man that would give you everything he had
To hear your voice makes him exceedingly glad
Now I am a one man show
I hurt more than you’ll ever know
How I would love to see your face a glow
I am sure for me your love would grow
All I need is a chance
I could show you true romance
I could take you places you’ve never been before
I can be the one you adore
I like to know love before I sleep
For you in my heart I’ll always keep
Leap blindly into the dark
Your fire will give my heart a spark
Let me be your all and all
I will be at your beckon call

Beloved Son
Beloved Son
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, April 12,2010 @ 1: 51 PM
To you my beloved son
Your life has just begun
I shall shout from mountains aloud
Of you I am truly proud
Steadfast and true to the letter
Be not like me but only better
To greatness I’ve watched you grow
Now I stand to shout bravo
Through perseverance you have stride
Overflowing my heart filled with pride
As the accolades finally subside
My arms will remain always-open wide
Blessed from birth with natural rhythm
Given I to you the tools to blossom
A force to be reckoned with so truly fearsome
I’m your biggest fan for you are awesome
Playing hard you do to cadences set
Every challenge beyond doubt you’ve met
Your birth I’ll never forget
Having you I’ll never regret
Life can feel like it’s always up hill
But I love you and always will
No father could ever be prouder
So I shall shout it out louder and louder

My Angel
MY ANGEL
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Monday, March 28,2011 @ 1: 15 PM
When you feel like you are going to drown
When all your face can wear is a frown
When trouble has you spellbound
When you feel totally dumbfound
When the rain comes through your window
When the path is no longer easy to follow
When the road for you narrows
When your heart is filled with sorrows
When you have fallen I’ll pick you up
When your entire plan fails, I’ll be your backup
When you can’t sleep, I’ll sing you lullabies
When you cry I’ll dry your weeping eyes
I’ll be there to soothe your pain
By your side I’ll always remain
I’ll listen when you need to complain
From the bonds that bind, I’ll break the chain
You were never alone
I was there at every milestone
So no matter where you may roam
I’ll be right here waiting for you to come home

Shadow in the Dark
I’m a shadow in the dark
The quintessential sound of death
I’m a shadow in the dark
Like the reaper’s icy breath
I’m a statue set in stone
In apathetic sleep
Let the world just pass me by
And I will never weep
I’m a shadow in the dark
The quintessential sound of death
I’m a shadow in the dark
Like the reaper’s icy breath
You don’t have to set me free
You don’t have to light my night
You don’t have to feel my breath
Or step into my line of sight
For I’m a shadow in the dark
You know I’m there but you can’t see
I’m a shadow in the dark
You pass me by, and leave me be.

In A Dream
In A Dream
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, December 2,2012
You came to me in a dream
I held you tight lasting the night
You began to fade away
I didn't want to wake to face the day
Holding on tight my eyes began to tear
For all I want is to hold you near
Now sleep wont come back to my eyes
Waters flow to drown the skies
Promises to you I can't keep
So all I want to do is go back to sleep
No use counting sheep
So now I just sit here and I weep
My heart won't give me a break
That's why I sit here wide-awake
I know it's quite extreme
But the only way I can be with you is in a dream
Nothing is never as it seams
In my soul my heart it screams
My life I can't remake
You I wont ever forsake
Suffering now from a huge headache
That's why I don't want to stay awake
I don't want to see another daybreak
Not another moment I can take
From reality I want to escape
In my dream my existence I shape
Missing you is more than I can bear
Please dreams take me back there
Actuality is endless nightmares
For in my dreams reality disappears
You are in my bloodstream
My only way to be with you is in a dream

I'm A Shadow In The Dark
I am a shadow
in the dark
the evil sound in the night
I'm a shadow in the dark
but still it always feels so right
I'm constantly over looked
my brain is fried
my heart cooked
I'm a heart
that will never beat
I'm the one person
no one has to meet
I'm the cold
the dark
the light
I am a shadow in the dark
just give it up
you've lost the fight

I Better Be Good
If I ain't cool
My daddy gonna send me
To Military School
If I ain't nice
My girlie gonna freeze me
With cold shoulder ice
If I'm real late
My teacher gonna use me
For alligator bait
So, I better be good
I better be good
If I jump on the gas
The cops are gonna jump
All over my back
If I smoke too much
Doctor says he's gonna
Put my lungs in a crutch
If I'm caught without my pants
Consuelo's dad is gonna shoot
Until he sees me dance
So, I better be good
I had better be good
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice
You better be nice tonight
If I spray it on the seat
Lady gonna tie a big knot
In the meat
If I spewey too fast
Lover's gonna stick
My Wrangler in a cast
If zipper grabs skin
I'll know I had it out
When I shoulda kept it in
Ow.
I better be good
I better be good
I better be good
Ooh.
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
You better be nice
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - you better be
Nice, nice, nice - Uh, uh, uh, uh
Nice, nice, nice
I'd better be nice tonight - yeah
Nice, nice, nice
Nice, nice, nice

“I Think Of You”
Wilfred C. Mellers April 3,2002
Reprised Wednesday, March 26,2008
For every time I close my eyes I think of you
I always dream about you for I do love you
For every time I close my eyes I’m in another place
A peaceful place in time and space
Surrounded by your love
You took me places that I’d never been before
Soaring high above the clouds
You’re the one my heart beats for
Now when I am dreaming it’s all about you
I am in a place between time and space
I am dreaming of you tonight
I am holding you close and everything is alright
Cuddle up real close
And let me hold you tight
Even though you’re not here I will dream of you tonight
There’s one thing you must understand
I’m your number one fan
Please let me hold your hand
Let’s take a walk on jet-black sand
Let us start a plan
I will do whatever I can
We’ll never fuss or fight
We will spoon right through the night
Every night I sit home and I’m waiting
For your love is what I’m wanting
I can hear your body calling
In love with you I have fallen

My Valentine

To the sweetest valentine
You are my sunshine
When my skies are gray
You make my day
When I’m feeling blue
You know just what to do
You make me feel so alive
Without you I cannot survive
You’ve set my soul on fire
Greatness you inspire
Your touch gives me a chill
Do with me, as you will
The light of my life you are
The most wonderful by far
You complete me so much
You have the sweetest tender touch
So glad I’ve found someone
Feels like the sweepstakes I’ve won
Please don’t ever leave
Anything with you I can achieve
My life was heading down hill
Now my life is such a trill
The gap in my heart you’ve filled
Together a life we shall build
Sweeter than sugar and spice
Only your love can suffice
You are my all and all
I feel ninety-nine feet tall
The universe would be so unkind
If you were to leave I’d loose my mind
You are all I can think of
God has sent to me the greatest love
You are my sole existence
From your love I have no resistance
To break you heart I would never
I will love you forever and ever

As I Grew Older
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun--
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky--
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

Mocking Bird
Mocking Bird

How could an angel break my heart?
A deed done not too smart
Of me you were the better part
Now I have to face a brand new start
I guess you never heard
It is a sin to kill a Mocking Bird
Forced to face my greatest fears
Sadden eyes baptized by tears
Something so right turned so wrong
Memories now of turned a sad long song
I loved you so didn’t you know?
This is why I let you go
Turning now to the next page
Turtledove freed from its cage
This is how it must be
Now and for all I set you free

Best Friend
My Best Friend
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Thursday, April 8,2010 @ 9: 40 PM
I had a reason once upon a time before
Now we share those reasons no more
Couldn’t figure out what was worth fighting for
Do I still worship her? Yes I am sure
Here is the skinny and the plane truth
In America I had wasted my youth
Can't find any incentives to return at all
Here I can finally stand real tall
I grew tired of being in a pack
Nothing is left to draw be back
I will be back but not just yet
My mind is fluid and not truly set
This is all I can tell so I hope all is well
My true friends my mind does dwell
Spinning my wheels was never too smart
Love ones will always hold a place in my heart
All my friends I miss you so
Fondness more than you’ll ever know
You’ve changed my frown into a smile
You’ve made my existence worthwhile
God placed you in my life for a special reason
You have helped me weathered my worst season
This I say without any reservations
You will hold my greatest admiration's
Not too many I can call a friend
You are truly an angel and godsend
You were there when I felt like dying
You concerns taught me to keep trying
Thank you for you have made me glad
You cared when no one else had
You’re my best friend I do think of
You my cohorts are the ones I do love
True friends I’ve found
No matter the distance I’ll always be around
In an ocean of tears I’ll never let you drown
Your life preserver for I’ll never let you down

A Shadow Falls
When I see a shadow fall
pale against my bedroom wall
I always look around to see
if that shadow was just me?
If there's no one else in sight
I silently give way to the night
and sleep.
When I see a shadow fall
dark against my bedroom wall,
I'm afraid to look at its dark sight
for if that shadow isn't me
I fear just what that shadow might be.
And so I cannot
fall asleep.
When I see a shadow fall
white against my bedroom wall
I will not look upon that scene
fearing what that shadow might mean.
Maybe a ghost is visiting me
bringing a haunting memory
if I fall asleep.

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

I Do Just Because
I Do Just Because (The Love of My Life)
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Tuesday, January 4,2011, @7: 16 PM
She makes the sun rise in the morning and brings out the stars at night
She is the brightest light in the heavens for she makes everything alright
I love her more each day that I cannot deny
I could never break her heart by telling her a lie
For her I would give up my immortal soul
She has me under her total control
For her I would give my very life
She is more than a lover, my best friend, but my very wife
She makes me smiles when all seems lost
For her I would sacrifice at any cost
When my life seems to be in total chaos
She never forgets to remind me who is truly the boss
Through my e-mails she is sometimes screening
Without her my life would have no meaning
Like a baby off the breast I need not to be weaning
For on her shoulders I am always leaning
In her laughter there is so much joy
Forever gladly I would be her boy toy
What god has created no man can destroy
Life with her I can only further enjoy
We are like two peas in a pod inseparable we are
For I am the beat and she my rhythm guitar
She makes my legs shake and my toes curls
Around goes my head for the world swirls
What zest and merriment when in the mornings she opens her eyes
She is simply amazing in everything she tries
Why do I love her? She is looking this way so I dare not pause
Why do I need her? I do just because

Perfect For Me
Perfect For Me Reprised
Written by: Wilfred Mellers some time ago
So you’ve gained an extra pound
It doesn’t really mean I don’t want you around
So the close you wore might fit you tight
It doesn’t mean a thing when we turn out the light
I get your point of view
There’s no one I love more than you
You fit me to a tee my guide
There’s no place I’d rather be than right here by your side
I thank God above, for you are the one I love
I thank my lucky star, just because you are
You may not be perfect, but you’re perfect for me
You may not be perfect, but with you I want to be
Sometimes we may argue, fuss, and fight
I will always be your shining Knight
We may not agree on everything
Only you can make the flowers bloom in spring
Joy is what you’re make of
You’re the only one I love
And for every felt heartache
You’re still every breath I take
While making love I feel my body shake
Each time we kiss I feel the earthquake
When I’m with you my soul is so awake
Loving you could never be a mistake
From the day you were born you are perfection
Beauty true incarnate from conception
I have found my satisfaction
With you love is my only option
Any fool that’s ever had a heart can see we’ll never part
To measure my love it would be off the chart
Finer you are than symphonies by Mozart
You’ve always been to me a work of art

To the Saguaro Cactus Tree in the Desert Rain
I had no idea the elf owl
Crept into you in the secret
Of night.
I have torn myself out of many bitter places
In America, that seemed
Tall and green-rooted in mid-noon.
I wish I were the spare shadow
Of the roadrunner, I wish I were
The honest lover of the diamondback
And the tear the tarantula weeps.
I had no idea you were so tall
And blond in moonlight.
I got thirsty in the factories,
And I hated the brutal dry suns there,
So I quit.
You were the shadow
Of a hallway
In me.
I have never gone through that door,
But the elf owl's face
Is inside me.
Saguaro,
You are not one of the gods.
Your green arms lower and gather me.
I am an elf owl's shadow, a secret
Member of your family.

Sacred Trust
(b, r & m gibb)
I meant to fight it to the finish but you made me forget
And though its possible Im dreaming, dont wake me yet
You know I love you
I cant see the day for night
You know I twist around and turn around and then I give in
You end up in control of me its really a sin
I dont know what youre doing to me
But I know its a crime
And baby I cant last another night
And every moment is eternity
And from the depth of my soul
Cant let another day go by
I follow my heart right up to the end
As far as the eye can see
Im faithful and true and living up to
Your sacred trust in me
Ill never give out to somebody else
I know where my arms should be
Im faithful and true and making it through
Your sacred trust in me
Your sacred trust in me
You take me and you break me and you do what you please
I stumble and I tremble and Im weak at the knees
The vision that lies before me is not reality
I tell you I cant wait another night
For every secret that your soul reveals
And you and I may get to know
That its real, that its real
I follow my heart that leads me to you
And all that my love should be (you know Im talking to you)
And you can be sure Im doing it for
Your sacred trust in me
Ill never give out to somebody else
Theres nowhere my heart should be (you know Im calling to you)
Im faithful and true and living up to
Your sacred trust in me
Your sacred trust in me
I follow my heart right up to the end
As far as the eye can see
Im faithful and true and living up to
Your sacred trust in me
Ill never give out to somebody else
I know where my arms should be
Im faithful and true and making it through
Your sacred trust in me
Your sacred trust
I follow my heart that leads me to you
And all that my love should be (you know Im calling to you)
And you can be sure Im doing it for
Your sacred trust in me
Ill never give out to somebody else
Theres nowhere my heart should be (you know Im calling to you)
Im faithful and true and living up to
Your sacred trust in me
Your sacred trust

Shadow Games
(first verse)
Long ago in the ancient past
I remember a life when we first met
In a dark shadow realm under a big full moon
There and then I could tell
You try to break my will
But now watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
(chorus)
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I wont be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time Ive prayed my friend
(second verse)
So now you know after time has passed
You can never be sure youre always the best
Cause Im back from the shadows coming after you
On the brightest day
Of your darkest hour
So now watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
(chorus)
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I wont be beat again
You keep on playing (You keep on playing)
Those dark shadow games and
All this time Ive prayed my friend
(third verse)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
You destroyed the future with your past
Forgot the lesson of the test
You never understood the blessed
Too bad today will be your last
So now watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
(chorus)
You keep on playing (You keep on playing)
Those dark shadow games and
No I wont be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time Ive prayed my friend
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I wont be beat again
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
All this time Ive prayed my friends
You keep on playing
Those dark shadow games and
No I wont be beat again

Shadow Me
Shadow me oh my
Dark emotion.
Shadow me all the way!
Shadow me to rock
In cradle heart,
To sway and just to sway!
Shadow me as a
Shady love tree,
In my hot, scorching day!
Shadow me must in,
Middle of night,
Like a gleaming pure ray!
Shadow me, shadow,
My foggy love,
Shadow wild me to tame.
Shadow to follow
My every step,
Shadow me in each poem!
