john tiong chunghoo Poems

no more paparazzi
beyond the plain
diana's grave
a quiet gentle breeze
...

missing a life

the sky speeds away
like a jaguar without me
...

then you left
the moon was hardly round
the sun took us through an eclipse
and the migratory birds started
...

let the water flow, let it flow
so that i can clean you up
thoroughly
...

the cock crow melts down
the dark and dormant hours
the stars are right with the twinkles
of hope; the sun starts to grow limbs
...

black diamonds
they sparkle almost
reluctantly
...

winter is an aphrodisiac
it sends them reeling
for each other's warmth
usually with a piping hot coffee
...
