Melvina Germain Poems

A baby boy is born, a sweet, innocent black baby boy.
comes to this world as a –child—not a toy.
His needs will be different for he is a black male.
...

The morning sun trickles through the shade.
Our love takes on a new charade.
The pillow beside me is empty still,
another day of lies at will.
...

When the morning wind floriously blew, I gazed out my window remembering you.

A smile etched softly upon my face when images so blatantly came to mind. I remember so many things, from a winter's day to the first day of spring.
...

Pregnant again she confides in a friend.
No where to go, no one will take her in.
Walking the streets in the dark of night.
Hiding in alleys, trying to stay out of sight.
...

The greed of evil place its mighty finger,
stir the pot, circulate the mould.
Watch the tainted bodies float the sea,
disfigured, bloating...a travesty.
...

It's actually been a very quiet and peaceful day. I shared a few words and hope someone out there found a little comfort while reading through. When you lose someone and a friend or associate tells you, you'll get over it in a year, don't believe them, that's not true, we never forget those we love. We move forward, we make changes and we live on but the memories are always there and often we find solace in remembering.

A new partner who truly loves you will always give you that space and never allow jealousy to enter in but with that their must be a balance. Enjoy your memories but enjoy what you have in front of you on this earth as well.

I shall woo thee sweet, sweet delicate Lily
come touch me softly, my maroon lipped fair.
How can I ever leave thee my sweet, sweet Lily
after gazing in your eyes, I know I must not dare.
...

Hush my sweet, you must not cry.
Daddy will visit by and by.
Gone with the angels, like a new born.
Rejoice little one, please don’t mourn.
...

I missed you last night, when the flames burned in the fireplace.
I thought of you and your handsome face.
I longed for your kiss, just waiting to touch you… like this.
Once again, feel me, wrap your arms tenderly around me,
...
