Maggie Tong Poems

Don’t lie when your mother ask if you have something to tell her.

Don’t lie if you see a wooden spoon in the middle of the lounge room table.
...

I am the grass that covers the land,
I am the tree that is swayed by the wind,
I am the flow that moves the rivers,
I am the sky covered by clouds,
...

The old feller asked us to join
Made it sound better then movie
He said it would only cost us a coin
He just didn't mention it was a horror movie
...

Silky lights nor a suttle flow nor a slick gust

amusing me, flirting and jumping
from surface to surface
...

I'm caged by
your looks
Taunted by
your smiles
...

Trampled, bombarded by the destruction,
His barely alive and barely there
Dripping with feelings of less than satisfaction,
Surviving the fight seems hardly fair.
...

</>They took him away with a smile on their face
Promised and excited him with talks of bravery
Before he had time to ask questions of the place
They'd already taken him to the belly of slavery
...

I can't contain myself, the soul is nervous, frightened
You play with me, you know I'm afraid
Come after me please, feel my belly tightening
Overpower me lady, let our lust go a stray
...

I say to all my love is school,
but when I see you my heart melts to glue,
i run and run just to find you,
but i feel i do not do,
...

Art is swimming on a cold Sunday morning and telling yourself no pain no gain.

Art is when two things are blended to make one beautiful thing.
