john tiong chunghoo Poems

I carry your heart with me
the way rose petals hold up
its beauty, a brimful of tender
care as it implores the world -
...

I am Time
now let me tell
you the greatest
secret of all
...

to know a
writer's passion
for his work, go straight
to his dustbin
...

Turquoise Coast
the Mediterannean sighs
over a long lost empire
...

autumn mountain
the artist decides to go
impressionistic
...

Toronto's St Lawrence Market
i take home a piece of the city
money cannot buy
...

calmness
dawns
fed by war
terror
...

something
savoured
this loneliness
the week
...

I am no adulteress
South of the Andaman,
An island lost in time,
Filled with grandiose mountains
...

Each little statuette on the display
Counter screaming excruciating pain.
Her giant body collapsing, sending a fume
Of dust to the air, her little one
...
