DISILLUSIONMENT AND DISENCHANTMENT

~ Che ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes when you’re inner eyes open and you gradually begin to see and recognise a person for who and what they really are, you experience such a shocking, deep and grave Disappointment, that you almost wish you could close your inner eyes again, in order to retain the former beautiful picture of this person that you used to have. But it is all in vain. Your heart can never ever forget again what it has seen and what it now knows and sees. Truth is the most beautiful, but also the ugliest, thing you will ever encounter. But, the good thing is, it will set you free.

WITHOUT A TRACE

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
There was once a person
I once knew her for a short while
I don’t know what happened to her
Or who she became or what lifestyle
I have no idea where she is now
I never discovered where she went to
Or who she mixed herself up with, if any
If she still exists, what she’s going through
But she made my heart childlike
Before she suddenly disappeared
Without a trace -

I pray to God, Who knows it all,
To always be with her wherever she is
And give her protection, progress and peace
And guide her to a beautiful place
Full of flowers, true love, honesty and bliss.

PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
People who love you,
Hurt on account of you.
But, for some reason,
It is those who don’t care
That you’re always pleasing
And trying to keep near.

I wish you so well
If I were a wishing well
You could daily draw
And daily drink to your fill
And when you withdraw
The forest becomes still.

FOR INTIMACY

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Attraction is not enough
Seduction is not enough
Arousal is not enough
Being turned on is not enough
Being in the mood is not enough
Horniness is not enough
Boredom is not enough
Playfulness is not enough 
Liking a lot is not enough
Friendship is not enough
A craving need is not enough
Curiosity is not enough 
Propensity is not enough
And even love is not enough
Not any longer -
I need the deepest inner feeling
That’s compatible and stronger
In sync with spiritual healing.

WRONG AND RIGHT

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
How can something so strong
be so wrong? Go so wrong?
We don’t belong to our emotions,
they belong to us, but our devotions
are more accurate and honest,
what we long for the strongest.
Pain brings so much blessing
to every soul that learns its lesson
and undergoes transformation,
maturation and the realisation
that it wasn’t wrong after all,
it was a strong and jarring Call
to wake up before you fall.

LOVE IS A PRISON

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
My only Crime was loving you
And loving you too much too
But If this is a crime
I’ve done my time
Release me
Ease me
Out
Tell me what it’s all about
An outer whisper, an inner shout
Free me from insecurity and doubt.

ACHING

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
Deep inner feelings of love are possible
The love that causes the heart to ache is possible
The love you cannot forget is possible
The love that is stronger than you is possible
The love that changes you is possible 
You just have to meet the right person
To experience the incredible aching
With or without Heartbreaking.

FORGET IT

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
How humility can guide you
To find yourself if you let it -
How anger can ride you 
To death if you won’t forget it -

Forget it, it’s done and gone,
Your pain is the healing kind -
When you lost her, you won
A deeper heart, a higher mind.

HEARTS NEED TIME

~ Che ~ 2 Comments 
The heart needs a long time
To understand that someone is gone.
Decades after the death bells chime,
The heart still waits for the loved one
To come back home.

The heart needs a long time
Because hearts are built for eternity.
Loving is more violent than crime,
You’ll be sentenced to immortality
As you wander and roam
Trying to come back home.

REPEAT

~ Che ~ Leave a comment 
It’s like 10,000 years away
It’s like you went away
On that fateful day
It repeats itself everyday.
