john tiong chunghoo Poems

Christmas Tivoli Gardens
all my dreams
lightened up
...

she looked free as a bird in the
sky of hollywood, a psychedlic drug
that stole the vitality of her life
a soul sapped by a luminuous talent
...

why? why bother embedding chips
onto the human bodies when the
bodies themselves are the most
foolproof chips? the aliens posed
...

my stride is amidst rainbow
negotiating faint dusklight
that dances with leaves
the sea dazzles its smiles
...

how much can a mind take up?
the whole universe
what you see and dont
all the time that has passed
...

two giant hearts
between them
the one true god
...

Cape Town
as drunken and lost
as ancient seafarers
...

god teaches humility, sanity
and above all, evolution
to become his finest creature
...
