Travel Cambodia Poem - A Lost Glory Poem by john tiong chunghoo

if only you can be nearer
but you are such a time away
from whom you have entrapped
the familiar has become a distant dream
relationship runs eons away
and an oppressive silence eats one
up like a million years
your presence rumbles like a broken hope
with shards cutting the corners of the soul
you are there, but not seen
you run so much away as if
you are too shy to meet
the world between us is
a vacuum of long long years
filled with the pains of a lost glory
