A bright new day And yet there’s no sun Because the light Is a feeling of warmth Within my heart. To let go of pain Is a human feat You will love again We part to meet And meet to part. There’s a rainbow Universal, not a slogan Or a flag. A Hello Of Hope for everyone Eternity’s chart. Heaven’s memory song How great Thou art. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Of Love
EVOLVING
Always absorb the pain And move on but resolve To one day love again - That’s how hearts evolve. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
THE POND
Your voice is in my heart
Although we’re farther apart
Than a mind can see, can scan,
Hearts with ease infinity will span
Between Earthlives and Beyond
Across universes spirits bond
Like lily leaves on a little pond.
Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river
FRIENDSHIP IS FOR THE PATIENT
Step with each other Step without each other, but step Step ahead of each other Step behind each other, but step Step beside each other, step around each other Step over each other, step under each other But never ever step on one another. Feel our steps inside of each other. Step inspite of each other, but step Step to one another, Step away from one another, but… Step always for one another. Feel ourselves stepping inside of us. Friendship is for the patient. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
LOVE IS FOR THE DARING
It’s not the bite in your pride when the rejection is nearing that you are really fearing It is not the hope that died while heartbreak was jeering that built the guard you’re wearing It is the invasion of your Inside, the vulnerability in sharing, the agony, the pain, of caring Deep within is where you hide, finding strength, slowly preparing, because love is for the daring. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
SEX IS SECONDARY
Sex is secondary Mission is primary It is not who shares your bed but who shares your path you should wed Or you’ll suffer the aftermath. Che Chidi Chukwumerije
I LOVE A LOT
For the sake of love I love a lot For the sake of the love which once I got I love to love and love a lot Without a plan, without a plot Just for the sake of the love which once upon a time I got and never again forgot. Che Chidi Chukwumerije
GIVING
A broken heart is a portal to a misplaced chart of an immortal A soul bleeding is a soulful river It is quietly leading you to the Giver. To get you must give give humility The hardest way to live Purity, simplicity. The Giver’s Paradise is only for the giving even when he cries he is still forgiving. Che Chidi Chukwumerije
HUMAN GUITAR
A window into another world you are Smaller than a moon you are a star Nearer than proximity you feel from afar Sealed to others my heart to you is ajar You’ve got a ticket I’ve got a fast car I am the wound you are the tender scar Strumming my pain fingering my guitar. Che Chidi Chukwumerije
BADLY
I‘m hurting so badly It’s driving me mad And making me sad I’ll take the bend gladly. Che Chidi Chukwumerije
