john tiong chunghoo Poems

i am not here,
not there, not anywhere
forgive me
i am torn between words
...

Sri Mahamariamman Temple
a Chinatown miracle
Malaysia's richest Indian temple
...

we both try find
an angling to each other
she throwing a questioning look
Did she think
...

a birth is always painful
like how the universe came into being
a blast strong enough to impregnate
every fertility nerve of earth
...

my ego is some ugly little frogs
some oriental restaurant workers
smash on their floor
before cutting them up
...

Batu Cave temples and shrines
excited for alms
the monkeys and priests
...

thousand peaks
trapped in between
- peace
...

afar like a flock of birds
because when you come near
they would have flown away
...

new fashion store
striking a pose
...
