Miss Poem by john tiong chunghoo

missing a life

the sky speeds away
like a jaguar without me

my legs measure the
pace of the days
in drudgery

the stars're my solace
in the darkness
they console one's soul
like diamonds
sparkling
and revving
up every minute
giving them the zest
to be had
forever mine

never to be lost
snug and warm
in the heart

every cell of mine sparkles
lighted up in their
light and subtle
banters
bright wishes
that straddle
every facet
of the day

there is hope
there is hope - to life
a diamond
that sparkles
lighting up
the sky
of your wildest dream
