Melisa Peter Poems

They brought you to a new world on a slave ship,
Deprived you from the inheritent right to be the beautiful formation that God decreed you to be,
To resemble as a thrall, they undressed your tongue,
Hijacked your garments, rags and feathers,
...

At times, I snooze to believe that you really do exist,
I realize I cannot choose when you shrilly insist,
But no wait …Old man, you confuse,
At this instant, I lose,
...

On no account have I been the category
To articulate what I feel
So fundamentally I trade in the whole thing within
And with you it was not dissimilar
...

A Vanilla seasoned stick

The way you make me smile from a mile,
The way you smell, resides in me for a while,
...

I could lose my chest, one breast,
My eyes could be injured to worst,
Yet, I know that if you remain,
My world would still sustain,
...

Not the type that when he appears, every woman goes wow.
But when he starts to smile, my senses numble,
My heart dances, I feel like a star,
And I wanna take a bow,
...

Ndivumele ndithath'umthwalo wam ndigoduke,
Amagqeshan'endisele nawo,
Kuloomasakan'amthwebeshu, ndibethe kwabanentsente,
Ndiyithiyile lendawo, nto zooBawo,
...

If I die without having obtained six degrees,
Don't say rest in peace!
If I die with obese,
Can't fit in the coffin,
...

THE CANDLE WENT OFF

Demolished benevolence clouted to resuscitate as abundance unbosom thine soulDemolished benevolence clouted to resuscitate as abundance unbosom thine soul,
Endurance mumbled in the hinterland to replevin thine lost loveEndurance mumbled in the hinterland to replevin thine lost love,
