Peter Lungile Chidothe Poems

Thanks for the love
The love that touches

Thanks for the love

Dear Alice

It's summer here
I don't know the other side
...

The moving storm has blinded us all
Without realizing our clothes are up in the air
Walking naked
...

Its waters still fall and run deep
The sound taking me afar
Because this river down
Flows carrying my dream along
...

You never knew
What I would be to you
In a place so new
All you thought was you
...

(An ode to Nigeria, Burundi, Kenya, Iraq Palestine and Israel)

For one who could have been my brother,
Why is your hand on my neck?
...

I can't go up
Something is holding me down

I see the skies
...

Sitting here in the murky room
My vision is gone
I only see crystal like figures
Standing or moving up and down
...

Remember the little steps, trying to run?
The little smiles trying to laugh?
Inaudible words trying to speak?
...

It is strong as the wind
Heavy as the clouds
Beautiful are the words
Strong are the chords
...
