john tiong chunghoo Poems

Autumn moonlight
from the fluid ink
flows my poem
...

poetry is that
schoolgirl
junior high
you have
...

spring, my veins inches
to greet the gentle warmth
of the sun, the way the
butterflies frolic with the blooms
...

i walk through myself
the stripe glass ferns
that jut out like blades
cut me in so many ways
...

mom never went to school
but that never became a problem
between me and her
if anything, it heightens
...

as i close my eyes
a blackhole looms
this inner world
a torment it brings
...

total lunar eclipse
the temple
hurriedly closes
...

jasmine sends
its mindblowing
fragrance, allure
before it drops
...

the way god works
makes me feel
my mind in my foot
and my foot in my mouth
...
