john tiong chunghoo Poems

supermoon - the bride
cheers us up basking
in the love of her mate
...

you walked away taking your race with you
and we walked away taking our people with us
the decades that we walked became
the bridge to see wisdom of the choice
...

a room in all white
or a cave carved out of nothing
can be a sacred thing -
they can let you be forever -
...

i will do it a million times
coming back just to get a feel of
the last seconds of death -
the bliss, the joy, the giving up
...

the trees that grow to a wise old
age are full of compassion and health and serve
as a doctor -live near them -and soon
they'll send healing elements by day and
...

the bliss of solitude
my heart with pleasure
dances with daffodils
...

warning

putting the nerves into
the unnerving
...

everything is tuned
up and assigned by nature
even the cockroach you bump
into in the bathroom
...

on our back
nature plays out
the music of life
...
