john tiong chunghoo Poems

'are you impressed? '
i ask a close friend
his opinion of a writer's
verbosities.
...

Dubai the cit of superlatives
well do they have
the friendliest people?
...

his ill gotten wealth
the party splashes
the flashy cars,
all things go dinners,
...

so many angels
twirling and swirling
these cherry blossoms
...

Sultan Abu Bakar Lake
suddenly i desire
a cup of teh tarik
...

poetry, the metres
are to measure how
much a poet writes
from his heart and
...

dreams, where do they come from?
a colourful buddha smiling in his
shapely flowing robes so friendly
on a bed and disappearing into no trace
...

the plants, they are your friends
especially the ones in your room
if you are sensitive to their feelings
you will know they are there trying
...

there is a father
there is a son
in the mind
the father
...

the mind -
it has to be laid with
keys and tones -
the solemnest bar for god
...
