Wilfred Mellers Poems

Out of paradise where I'm from
Taken down to a little island
...

A vision of perfection, I must stare
Your arms, legs, your body, and your hair
With you, I can find happiness
You are the one I want to caress
...

In a heartless world, I came forth screaming
Star spangled lights were not gleaming

Baptize to the world I came forth violently
...

So many guys would often say to you
That I've been seen with so many girls
But rest assured that it's not true
For no more lies or alibis
...

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
...

The beast by no better name called love

I'm so much alone
I've got no one to call my own
...

A butterfly goes thru one of lives greatest metamorphoses.
It starts its life as a caterpillar going thru life eating and waiting for that moment to begging its life's journey. It cocoons itself until it is ready for its last steps in life.
Spring forth from its cocoon, it frees itself and flies off into the light. It is its begging and ending all at the same time.
...

Jamaica, Jamaica! Fly me away so I can feel your sweet embrace once more. How I do long to be in your arms once again to feel your heat up against my body. Fly me away on down to your sweet paradise. I want your lips kissing my cheek, your warm shores wrapped around me, and your sea melting away my pain. I want to stroll along your narrow streets; I want to behold your picture perfect sunsets. I want to lie in your warmth and hold you as I slumber. Make me feel safe and wanted once more.

Jamaica, Jamaica! I said farewell so long ago. I miss you so much now. Sweet is your memory to me. In my solitude, I ponder your memory. So long ago and so far away you are to me. I want to smell your sweet perfume in the air. I want to see your gentleness swaying in a mystical Carribean wind. Gentle are your curves so womanly and majestically. I want to see the sun rise as we are naked to the world. Your gentle rain beckons me back to the place I feel most at home. Home is where the heart is and my heart eternally is with you.
...

I reach out to let you know someone is there
I reach out to let you know that I care
But you keep smacking my hands away
You are going to need those arms someday
...

Last night I dreamed I cried
Tears flowed like a hurricane far and wide
I woke sad and depressed for things I now regret
A hollowed feeling makes me so upset
...
