Meng Lim Dr Poems

Calm is the starless night
but troubled is the heart
deep silence descends
pain will not part-
...

Love is not an imperative
in marriage --but money:
no woman would enter into it
if there were no security
...

After reading Tang Dynasty poetry:

She promised to meet me
at midnight
...

Metamorphosis

It's not late, never too late
to change direction
...

It was the fancy
of 'Once upon a time'
that brought so many
such a miserable outcome
...

We don't have only one brain, but two-
the natural and the artificial:
the former seems out of date
to most the computer makes for the better other
...

I'm at my best
in my silence
none there will notice
my presence
...

sunset
dusk
night
...

An autumnal midnight
the chirping of cicadas
moaning of the silent tides
beneath weeping stars-
...

When the weary and long-suffering world
has lost its every golden cherished song
and life is no longer a feast nor a pearl
my heart shall still sing, brave and strong-
...
