Free me
Let me
Be me
Let me
Be free
Set me
Free.

Poems from the inner river

LIVE, PAIN, LOVE

~ Che ~ 1 Comment

It’s just life
No pause
Inescapable laws

No brakes
No breaks
No breaking out – you’re done in

Few gives, few takes
The dark is near
It is in there

It’s always there
It’s just life
You pay the price – that’s your role

There is a myth, a legend
A hurt-filled, painful, word
They call it love

There are no guarantees
But they say
It will set you free – nothing more

It won’t bring you wealth
It won’t bring you power
It’s just life

Keep it warm
Keep it safe
Keep it alive – love – it’ll keep you alive.

ANOTHER BLACKBIRD

~ Che ~ 5 Comments

I am another blackbird
I want to fly high up in the sky
Shy and bold
Freed and loved
Here and there and
Everywhere.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN

What would the sky give
To uncage the clouds and set the rain free?
Everything she has; and yet
What’s the use?
You can set old secrets free

New ones will pile up inside again
For only what is hidden can set us free.

– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
