Nothing Now Remains Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Nothing Now Remains
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, January 14,2017

Wasted days and wasted nights
Wasted moments fighting sprites
Wasted moods with such attitudes
Wasted chances I stand accused

Wasted time spent perfecting my accent
Wasted capital for you did not spend a cent
Wasted words you had never meant
Wasted efforts in absurd arguments

Watched my security as it burned
Experience taught me lessons yet not learned
In my struggles, I did not make a dent
Down the drain, all the money went

Wasted brilliance on too sad a story
Haste made waste to my morning glory
Wasted seasons I can not relive
Gave so much more than I had to give

Wasted tenderness on untrue happiness
Deceits so sweet came to you naturally
Flawless execution came effortlessly
Your reactions to passion came unsatisfactorily

Wasted moments that will never be regained
Wasted journeys to a heart my love never reigned
Nothing gained myself I blamed
Waited in vain as the monsoons came

Once I showered under rainbow skies
From tender lips spewed beautiful lies
Summers filled wonders of a mystical surprise
Baptize my eyes likewise now counterclockwise

Never did I once complain
Reckless endeavored I lead a furious campaign
For a lifestyle, I could not ever sustain
Nothing now remains for the unicorn could not be contained
