john tiong chunghoo Poems

sundal malam mekar bertingkat
arus air berbisik mencumbu bulan
atas garisan halaman halaman surat
berbagai bagai corak rembulan
...

cameron highlands segar dan indah
ladang teh selimuti bukit
teh wangi selimuti lidah
sunggoh ceriakan lawatan kita ke bukit
...

Djemila (means beautiful in Arabic)
in the mountain
a beauty slowly ages
...

segulung lukisan air dan langit
terbuka di atas tasik kenyir
kehijauan tebing tenangkan hati yang sakit
bayu berbisik bisik di muka air
...

aussie friends - between
embarrassment and laughters
we talk about convict ancestors
...

Sept 11
a cold breeze turns
the calender
...

Sandstone Ice Festival
downing beer as they talk
ice cap melting
...

i am a sky, i change with the day
in the morning, i am coloured
a brightness of orange
that cheers up everybody
...

art is so many parts of the cakras
divine colours breathing through selves
locked in a painting every colour works
to soul up the images loosened
...
