john tiong chunghoo Poems

Amandari Resort
we sing praises
of our own Bali
...

these deserted lanes
and their cart away files
new year eve Tokyo
...

the other secret code
to Switzerland's wealth
Kunsthaus Zurich
...

Lisbon's Parque de Eduardo VII
we walk round and round
lost in its beauty
...

a body weak as sand
a will strong as storm
an emotion cold as snow
a mind still adventurous
...

the dinosaur's eyes
big as my ears
we look into each other
and wonder how our love
...

man when overwhelmed
by love, his eyes are
two moons cruising
through thin veil of clouds
...

my poems are my children
sons and daughters
each with own characters
to travel to the far distance
...

Bandar Seri Begawan weds the old and new -
roads, heritage buildings, museums, mosques, parks,
a market by the river selling jungle produce
and of course the Jerudong Amusement Park
