Meng Lim Dr Poems

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

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the former seems out of date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
...

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

sunset
dusk
night
...

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

At the end of your life you would discover
how much you had owned yourself
and the extent to which you had given away to others
...

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-
...

The harvest is over this year
I wait for next year's summer
Nature never fails in its promise
One season faithfully follows another.
...

Dear Dr Wittgenstein:
what's the meaning of meaning?
does mankind's survival
depend on meaning
