john tiong chunghoo Poems

depth of autumn
a few leaves on the tree
dancing
...

a woman waits for me
to angle me in such a position
it clears the brain, mind
from blotches, obstructions
...

reaching out
i throw a handful of sand
towards the stars
...

ying and yang
love and hate
the world at a loss
...

now as i look into the night sky
the little star twinkling, twisting, spiralling
in the farthest corner well that's
the eternal michael jackson
...

poetry is not the rain
poetry is how the rain
beats down on your path
poetry is not in the man
...

over the cradle
over the sarong
so many lullabies
were sung for us
...

the earth bursts
forth in the bloom
in its desire to show itself
a colourful wear
...

cat
Egyptians' god
Japanese's courtesan
divine or despised
...
