It's Not Just You
Don’t you hate it when your fish drowns?
In the darkness come these eerie sounds
When your world is turned upside down
When the mortician is a flipping clown
You wake and your eyes are sopping
You step in canine droppings
You are woken early from sleeping
All night the baby was weeping
Someone broke your heart
Your car won’t start
In the elevator someone farts
Your boss doesn’t have any smarts
You’re wearing two different socks
You trip over a toolbox
Your doors have no locks
The copy machine won’t Xerox

I Want To Sleep
My covers and I fight all night
I’m not sleeping well can’t you tell
My restless mind can’t unwind
Eyes are stubborn so I toss and turn
Life’s so cruel I’m miserable
Blue turns red ricochets in my head
Body so numb sleep wont come
Agitated all night till morning’s light
My problems blossoms
The rains came and nothing is the same
Autumn showers now devour
Things sweet seems incomplete
Tired eyes till sunrise
Throat so dry all night I cry
I cried for happiness went for a joyride
Trying to keep it inside, but the sadness I can’t hide

The Mix
Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate hot
These flavors I crave a lot
Peaches, pecans, pralines so sweet
Cookie dough, mint I like to eat
Headed downward tastes I savor
I know not which I do favor
Pineapples, bananas with whip cream from a tap
These to be consumed from between the gap
Delicacy I like all these to put to the test
Especially when laid upon your chest
Areola covered by caramel is the trick
Gently fondled as I lick
Covered by chocolate as you know
Circles made from neck to toe
Bottoms up as candies I place
Around turned forward now I face

For You I'll Fly In The Sky
24 hours until I’m there to hold you near
13,922 kilometers is worthwhile to fly to see your smile
A million miles I ‘ll walk so we can talk
The oceans maybe wide, but I’ll be by your side
The seas may divined, but nothing will stop me from being by your side
There’s no better way I want to spend my day
By your side I’ll lay, and by ecstasy I’m taken away
The birds cannot tweeter any sweeter
So sincere the laughter from you I hear
Adoring you is my career for I want you here
All I want to do is to be with you
Fill me with your charms for I want you in my arms
To have and to hold until we are old
Until the end of time when the bells no longer chime
Until there’s no more coastlines, and the sun no longer shines
To break you heart I’d never ever
You make my life complete for you are the very food that I eat

My Melancholy Lamentation
You are like the wind
To hold you would be impossible
You are like the sun
For your love I’d stop a bullet from a gun
You are way too hot to handle
You are like the light that comes from a candle
You are like the clouds up in the sky
I’d jump that high, yes I would try
You are like the sands
You just seem to slip right thru my hands
You are like the rain
That washes away all my pain
You are like a bird
You’re like the sweetest sound that I’ve ever heard
You are like a star
O so close but yet so far
You are like the day
That brings forth life in every way

Platitudinian
I so easily you can forget
Ornaments hanging and the stage was set
Forgettable I like Elliot Nest
I the 800-pound gorilla beating his chest
Fade to unfertile soil and pastures go I
Modest bohemian though I try
Disturb I no, but misdiagnosed
Traveled I from coast to coast
Winterless dawn and the spring came
Pursuant honor that comes with fame
A cold breeze blew and an autumn leaf fell
Coins tossed into a dry wishing well
Changed perspective with the passing season
Pleasantry forsaken without rhyme or reason
In the darkness I once stood
To chase the clouds away I would

Our winters never it snowed
Autumn’s leafs never yellowed
No longer days overshadowed
In merriment we often wallowed
Temperament’s high strong now mellowed
Sweet wine of live once flowed

Morning
I woke this morning in a silly way
So I wrote a cheesy poem today
Like the star with lesser fans
It seems I have too much time on my hands
I met a damsel with a voice golden sweet
From the tip of you head down to her feet
How do I know for I haven’t seen her before?
Conversing set such amiable rapport
She makes me smile when I am down
She is my queen and I minstrel clown
Oh what a day when we finally meet
With rose in hand to make the great complete
My voice trembles as I utter hi
My knees are weaken as I hear laughter from nearby
Hesitating to hear her reply
To keep composer I do try

The Friend Enemy
The Friend Enemy
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Thursday, November 11,2010 @ 8: 10 PM
How quickly they forget on those whom they once fret
Enslaved mind still held captive by their ulterior motives
Passive-aggressive manner conceals the last page of their day planner
Reckless their banter and their steeds will not canter
The jester so gallantry deficient with callused hands insufficient
His blades sharpened on the bones of which they called a confidant drone
Venomous utterance spewed from the orifice of what the hypocrites chewed
Artificial smiles hide their true nature for they feel a comfortable posture
Accolades fictitious for their appointments suspicious
Demeanor false bearing witness to monetary gains they are caring
Tongues akin to a dagger for they have lost their swagger
Disgusting deeds for on decay the scavenger feeds
Treachery afoot never wanting any input
To the leeway put aside but they can’t hide

Basking In Your Glory
Memories beautiful haunt my every appetite I quiver
Yet so misty colored to the tracks of ones own tears
Shallow pictures painted on fainted walls of melancholy days of raptures sweet
Essence yet so bitter taste of fulfillment yet obtained once on distant shores I crave
Lonelier days spent nights clutching my pillow tight yearning for the heat that ignites passion's flair
Thoughts dancing in shadowy places dwelling on such curves you possess
Dreaming of moments together forever I cannot slumber
Like dandelions floating on air in the breeze sets my mind at ease
Yearning, craving, wanting your touch that chills to the depth of my soul
I cry out in desperation for tenderly I sway to the music that wont satisfies my desires
Only for that one moment savored carries me away to paradise longing
Expressive verses causes membranes to thirst with utter indulgences
Absence of barriers no longer define where you begin and I end
Melting into oneness the flames engulfs as penetration of sovereign canyons calling
Sweat runs down nether rejoins comforted by tongues entwined
Buildup aspirations released in an eruption while toes curled violently
To lay down finally achieved at rest while in your arms peace sought now found at last
Precious heaven for that one instant consumed basking in your glory I pray
