Your Due Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Your Due
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, August 18,2015

Uttered promise lacking meaning
Castaway reality merely dreaming
Silent plot alas were scheming
Coveted another I wanted no other


Ship sank close to shore
Strangers knocked on my door
Wanted you so ever more
In the end, what was it all for?

Paid attention to things not mentioned
Sang songs of true redemption
Foul the stench from its conception
To seek to speak for I was weak

Swept it all under the rug
Truth placed mute in a plastic jug
Apparatuses came truly unplugged
Off into the wind flow the ladybug

Hidden roses thoughts so clever
Though the tempest couldn't bear the weather
Up it went in a puff of smoke
The last one laughing didn't get the joke

Hairs curly once I stroked
Hearts of stone can't be provoked
Sincerity wears a darker cloak
Venomous are words once spoke

Vision never seemed so clearly
Into creation went cavalierly
Almost had me but not nearly
Hurricanes blew gusts severely

Could've, would've, should've introspection
Accept somewhat for some kind of reflection
Time taken chances pondered
Younger, stronger a stranger wondered

For never the less I guises
Words are really meaningless
Lay down burdens now to rest
Sorrow for tomorrow is not my quest

Honestly, I always expressed
Willingness never was addressed
Squandered the time I had invested
By Beelzebub, you are now being requested
