A Rainbow To Treasure Poem by john tiong chunghoo

if one day you get to read and study my poems
do not hurry them? you can do me last.
or if you do not like them do not take in even a word.
tell the teacher you would love to do something else,
like walking in the field for may be there you can
find a poet of your choice and closer to heart.
but if you love my poems, let me walk the balconies,
balustrades and corridors of your mind while you play,
while you have fun with your friends, while you sleep.
let my words seep through you like the gentliest light
calming the nerves, and comes out of your intelligence
like a prism, a rainbow to remember me by and by,
