Es gibt immer den Moment, Da musst Du Mut fassen und ihn erfassen - Zögerst Du, verlierst Du den Zug, Und die Chance wird Dich wieder verlassen. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
RELATIONSHIP WITH REALITY
All I can tell you is this, Never entertain liars in your life. No matter how painful reality is, Let the Truth always be your wife Or husband. Not a human or a face But Truth itself should be your true spouse, Permanently nourishing you deep within you. Not a building, not an edifice or a space But the Truth itself should be your real house, Permanently protecting you deep within you. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
PUT YOUR HEART INTO EVERYTHING YOU DO
Sometimes, many things you do you do it because you just don’t care. People think you do it, and do it that way, because you don’t know how to do it or you don’t know what to do.
They don’t know that you simply really just don’t care if it works or not, because it is not what you really want. You’re just doing it out of boredom and because it is available, and because you just have to do something to while away the time while you’re waiting for what you really want.
But that thing you really want, that thing you are waiting for, might never ever come.
So, why don’t you do well what you’re doing now; because in the end it might be the only thing you ever really got to do.
Love, put your heart into everything you do.

Undulating Plains
GANZ
Ich vertraue zu leicht und bereue zu schnell - Doch ist der Höhepunkt erreicht befriedigt es mich vielleicht wie ein Rituell. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
WHEN THE WOUND DOESN’T HEAL
When the wound heals outside Without healing inside Baby you are beautiful inside and outside Your smile is open wide But your heart, the one that cried But your heart, the one that lied But your heart, the one that died Is closed up on the inside And will continue to pretend and to hide… Your laughter is it pain or is it pride? Lonely bride You are a lonely bride. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
TIEFER TAUCHEN
Lass uns tiefer tauchen
als nur knapp unter die Oberfläche –
Let‘s go deeper. Wir brauchen
Mehr als harte oder emotionale Gespräche,
wir brauchen Handlungen,
keine höflichen Verhandlungen,
Dein Leben sagt Deine Wahrheit –
Mein Leben gibt Dir Klarheit –
Also lass uns mit unseren Taten tiefer tauchen.
Che Chidi Chukwumerije

THERE IS AN ANGER
There is an anger that cannot be stopped Until it has burned its way through the heart And left a trail of cold ash and dropped Off shrivelled and twisted like abstract art On the canvas where memories are developed Negatives left behind for a seeker’s chart. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
WIEDER
Und wenn ich schlafe
wache ich wieder auf
Und wenn ich sterbe,
komme ich wieder
Und wenn ich wieder komme
mache ich weiter mit meinem Lauf
Liebe und Literatur,
Laufen und Lachen und Lieder.
Che Chidi Chukwumerije

WHEN YOU STOP WANTING
When you stop wanting to know everything,
You start knowing what to really want;
When you start wanting to grow into winning,
You start growing, focused, up and to the front.
Never forget the kind of people and things
That rejected you when you were nobody and nothing,
Your knowledge of them shall be the wings
That shall fly you over obstacles into your blessing.
Absorb the pain and become serious,
Trudge through the terrain no matter how tedious,
Be your true self and you’ll be mysterious,
And never return to all that was injurious.
Che Chidi Chukwumerije

IMMER RUHIGER
Es wird immer ruhiger in mitten des Lärms und irgendwann herrscht stilles Schweigen Denn Erinnerungen führen zum Nachdenken Nachdenken führt zu Erkenntnissen Und Erkenntnisse sind eigen. Sie beruhigen das Innenleben, helfen Dir, zu vergeben, und neu und Neues zu weben. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
