A Charm Invests A Face Poem by john tiong chunghoo

A Charm Invests A Face

Rating: 3.1


the face - is the record
of time now and beyond
a million stories in sight,
sound, taste and senses
known and unknown
sad face - it's a scar of the earth really
happy face - it is an extension
of the bloom to help the earth smile
sad face it soon seeks its way
out in another face
a mirror to another world
where there is every reason to shine again
hidden in - some features
are some wonderful tales of yester years
- prophets, fairies and those
who had seen god
if you have the blessings
to reach out to them
if you have consumed the bible,
the koran and other
heavenly sent books -
you know the face is
the most artistic chore
of the Creator
- he makes sure no two are alike
joseph the most blessed of them all

John, this is very nice...makes me wonder what people see in my own face. Time does so many things to our faces, but I hope people still see the wrinkle lines of laughter around my eyes. Raynette
