john tiong chunghoo Poems

so much more interesting
but never exhibited - how
the ancient master crafted
from ivory the size of half your thumb
...

tea pickers' dark
green houses
suicides that haunt
...

Vieques nirvana
the waves sweeps back the peace
into my heart
...

these deserted lanes
and their cart away files
new year eve Tokyo
...

Amandari Resort
we sing praises
of our own Bali
...

Lisbon's Parque de Eduardo VII
we walk round and round
lost in its beauty
...

the other secret code
to Switzerland's wealth
Kunsthaus Zurich
...

the dinosaur's eyes
big as my ears
we look into each other
and wonder how our love
...

a body weak as sand
a will strong as storm
an emotion cold as snow
a mind still adventurous
...
