john tiong chunghoo Poems

unrelated
but death relates

she lies there
...

good that poets never really
make money from their craft

it's a blessing in disguise
...

shadow play
the actors
never die
...

butterfly farm
the beauty
of death
...

to get a feel of heaven
take up poetry

to get a feel of hell
...

christmas - not always cold and snow
but wont ever be without the nickels

try walking through orchard road singapore
...

night divides as clearly
as the brightness of day

time cuts and doubly sharp
...

i wish to be lost in my poems
i wish one day when coming
across a famous poem would be
shocked and exclaimed when told I did write it:
...

the problem with she-men
in whatever categories is still the men -
they are gagged, wrapped, and subjugated
to a corner fit only for scorn
...

born poet, nature's gift
the beauty of god's essence
caught in every bloom and season
...
