john tiong chunghoo Poems

exquisite words that evoke pauses,
those pauses that deepen the moments
like the shadows the candles
cast over the the wall.

robot -
man tries to make
his ultimate self
man -
...

mind
multifaceted
a force
an unknown force
...

dear god
how little i feel
about myself
despite your claim
...

making friends
is like breaking the ice
each piece comes out
with a difference
...

i write for the sun
moon, stars, sea,
the real readers
of my lines, verses
...

given the chance to
to be Queen of England
or the Queen's English
(Queen of English)
...

when god says
he loves man
in his holy books
he really does
...

roses -
you give me that classic smile
orchids -
she gives me that delicate smile
...

always one sudden chirp
in the first light
trailed off by the excited
twits of a flock.
