john tiong chunghoo Poems

St John, Virgin Islands
we pray for a place people
wont even see our shadow
...

sea and sky
the horizon

casting the line
...

i have taken
lessons from snakes
and learnt wisdom
to morph from
...

Democracy
it is only so much
the people can take
...

his mind sandwiched
between the bodies
and chocolates

the men lost in two worlds
...

every rock locks me
in its mystery
machu picchu
...

senja di sungai rejang sugguh menawan
hati anak perantau berdebar debar
di air terbentang kilauan langit dan awan
kalau hendak kejayaan haruslah sabar
...

no children
the man who makes games
for children
...

hanami
i keep ooking at the sakura
on her kimono
...
