john tiong chunghoo Poems

so cold for
you to leave
so abruptly
while the bed
...

Monsopiad Cultural Village
our awe of the Kadazan hero
trails the rustle of bamboo
...

Cheonggyecheon dawn
stream rushes, cheers all
through Seoul
...

Herbal Island tongkat ali
we bubble with laughter when told
the first six inches is most precious
...

Gua Bewah
nature builds a gem corner
for meditation
...

Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary
i stand aside to let one Orang Utan
to cross the plank walk
...

Gua Taat
an elephant-tiger loyalty bow sealed
in rocks
...

i am not here,
not there, not anywhere
forgive me
i am torn between words
...
