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.

WEINSTUBE
Wein und Eure Stimmen
warm und weich und laut
und sanft und geht mir
unter die Haut.

RE-CODING MANHOOD
I never again want to be that man, the one that a woman is lying to another man in order to come and spend time with me. Because I will always think of that other man and know the excruciating pain he will feel if he ever suspects something he cannot prove. And if he doesn’t suspect anything and thinks he is with a loyal partner, then I will be the one to feel the excruciating pain on his behalf. I never want to be that man, the one that encourages or condones a woman lying to another man in order to come and spend time with me. For humanity to grow, the code of manhood has to change and become noble and knightly, boldly honest and full of dignity. I want to be the man who speaks the truth and to whom the truth is spoken. Any woman who deceives someone else in order to come and give herself to you, is not a good woman. She has given you a poisoned chalice. Be a man whose most intimate communication is truth, who speaks truth and to whom truth is spoken. Re-code the manhood within you, so we can lift up this world again.

NICE PEOPLE LIE TOO
Nice people lie too And when they do They defend it with determination For fear of losing their reputation. Once you start with a lie You have no choice But to continue to deny Using your false voice And you become hard And you become cold And you put up your guard And you grow old It was worth it, I guess, To have wrongly said Yes - It would be sad to have killed your soul For nothing, and miss your true goal. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
FEHLENDE WORTE
Die Worte fehlen mir denn sie gelten Dir Wer kennt sie? Nur wir. Nur wir kennen sie Arglos vergessen wir sie Wortlos brennen wir sie in uns ein. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
FORGET IT
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. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
BEIDSEITS
Wie viele Geister sind hier? Wie viele Menschen sind wir? Hier oder dort Wir sind alle vor Ort wir und Ihr. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
HEARTS NEED TIME
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. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
ZUSTAND
Die Nacht ist eine schwarze Leinwand Helle Gedanken säumen sie am Rand Uns verbindet ein unsichtbares Band Meine Worte sind meine ausgestreckte Hand Sie sind meiner Liebe hörbares Gewand Lesbare Sehnsucht tiefer als Verstand Betrachte sie als Leihgabe, als Pfand, und bringe sie zurück an meinen Herzstrand. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
REPEAT
It’s like 10,000 years away It’s like you went away On that fateful day It repeats itself everyday. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
