Melvina Germain Poems

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
From whence we came, to where we must.
Segregation painted O blackness of earth,
integration spawns a new light, deaths regal rebirth.
...

Another day has passed,

yet you all still pine for me.
...

Are you with me now in spirit

is your energy a part of me
...

Tonight sleep escapes me, you are tugging
at my heartstrings and I reminisce our last
chapter.
...

It's a new day, a smile
a fading thought
carress the mind
a possibility
...

From East to old West
our people vividly spoke
in silence they vote
...

Vividly hear thee whispers upon the edge of sleepless night.
Ancient voices of despair released from harrowed tombs.
Embracing my very soul with a rhythm of mothers care,
counting me as a Blessing in the bosom of eternal life.
...

I fear the dagger you pierce within my heart.
Let my blood come forth by a blade of steel.
Keep your words, please let them not impart,
for the pain they reap, I will surely feel.
...

Communication
lack its lustre in black field
we must break the gap
...
