WHENEVER

Sometimes there is
Sometimes there isn’t
A perfect time for things

Sometimes you wait
Sometimes you just do it
When your heart stings
And your love bell rings

Whenever it comes
Just flow with it
Taking whatever it brings
On wild or on gentle wings
When your heart sings.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river

THESE ARE DIFFICULT DAYS

There is a well
A deep oily well
Bottomless

It has swallowed time
My life time

I live in the future
I live in the past
I can’t find the present

It has squeezed hours
Split seconds

I cannot find time
Time to explore time.

– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
