john tiong chunghoo Poems

Democracy
it is only so much
the people can take
...

his mind sandwiched
between the bodies
and chocolates

the men lost in two worlds
...

every rock locks me
in its mystery
machu picchu
...

senja di sungai rejang sugguh menawan
hati anak perantau berdebar debar
di air terbentang kilauan langit dan awan
kalau hendak kejayaan haruslah sabar
...

no children
the man who makes games
for children
...

hanami
i keep ooking at the sakura
on her kimono
...

let your hair down she says
it's time to put some sense
to Rio de Janeiro
...

some poets put
words into their life
and experiences
...

total eclipse
earth slices the moon
to a crescent
...
