It'll be okay
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
Tomorrow's sun
will be more brilliant
tomorrow's flowers
will bloom brighter
tomorrow's smile
will be merrier
tomorrow's mission
guaranteed to be accomplished
it'll be okay
a kind heart
will fly me through every obstacle
it'll be okay
scared thoughts
will seek the arrangements of God's
will.

In & out of a dream
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
In the morning
icy raindrop climbs up my cheek
painting a dream
mischievously
hoisting one sail after another
shadow of loneliness in silence
starts to stagger
in a busy world
decorate the hustle and bustle
with a smile
perhaps it's the distance
that affects the heart
perhaps it's ordinary
that is the nature
can't say for sure
rain is still falling
the story continues.

Path
ChinHooi Ng Dec 2017
Meandering quiet

roaming time

rhythm of year

a touch of smile

a volume of poetry

playback of colorful tidbits

in a clear aromatic atmosphere.

Eagle
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
An eagle flew away
coldness sprinkled
on the height of his flying
the holy ice and snow of the peak
the sound of wings across the crevice
the pilgrimage route is
forever in his heart
the eternal light
is his eyesight
the deserted altitude
the empty skies
this temptation
of solitude
the earth with its gravitational force
opens up the door of fate
once again.

Stars
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
Venus de Milo
is,
a myth
who'd lost her arms,
Pushkin,
the 19th century's fall
of the sun,
the nights engulfing
the stars,
while the stars,
illuminating
the night,
the sounds of piano,
of Beethoven,
piercing the sky,
they are,
stars
that never fall.

Flying a kite
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
It's simple
a spool of thread
a "giant swallow"
a field
and you have a wonderful
childhood.

Ocean light
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
Waves hitting rocks
line struggling to escape the plane
broken-shaped brightness
breaking the jump of the line
like the fish of time
two dark blue seas
one still life
one billow
bright waves sparkling
shining
flowing into quiet meditation
of the sea
the musing sea
quietly listening to the light
on the ladder of eyelash
a white fish leaps out of the fissure
it's the broken waves
a chaotic weave of still life and animal
a flower of introspection blooms
in a collection of green
then the blues of rain
the petals of snow
the bone of ice
the white of frost within the wood wind
crashed the light
floating on paper
it's past midnight.

Words
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
I like poetry
though i don't write it well
every poem contains my thoughts
every line is the perception
and crystallization of
my inner feelings
i've read countless
poems
some are written by famed poets
some by lovers
just like myself
and i always envy and admire
their literary styles
and talents
in the world of words
everyone is the original creator
some play the codes
elegantly
some just express the moods
with words plainly
the world is too big
and not everyone can make the texts look pretty
but words
bring each of us
light and illumination
i like poetry
though i don't
play it well.

Hermit
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
A log cabin
decorated with jasmine
emitting subtle fragrance
bonsai on the windowsill
feeling the greenness of life
it's wonderful
to close the flashy door of the world
collect morning dew
garden everyday
bathe in nature
to wash away the dirt of body and mind
to enjoy an eyeful of beautiful
solitude
at sunset.

Gamer girl
ChinHooi Ng Jun 2020
Don't know why

you're always there

in my mind

can't be forgotten

when the night wind blows

the moon in the sky shines

i suddenly see

your beautiful figure

in front of me

you sit there

combing your long hair

grumbling about your acne scars

your voice is beautiful

can't be duplicated

falls in my heart

your voice evokes

a desire

to be at your side

unforgettable you

just like the bright

moonlight.

Skylarks
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
In the twilight sun
there's two skylarks
capering about
discussing
i don't know what
just chirruping
just seem to be saying
we are alive
we should be jumping, singing, celebrating
nobody can take this
joy of life
from us.

Time...
ChinHooi Ng Dec 2017
Time is a stream

an eternal puzzle

purging thoughts into the night

the unfinished lovesickness

before happiness awakes

is just more excuses

to write the moonlight

into poetry.

What is happiness
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
What is happiness
it is a grass
born to be quiet
it is a river in daylight
a poetic rhyme
that touches people
what is happiness
it is a story sung
throughout the world
prolonged
unremitting
the one sleeping in the long river of
history
the baby in the cradle of
galaxy
what is happiness
it is a tired seagull
sitting in a room
waiting for the hut
of sunset
it is the gentle friendship
when spring breeze is green
a dog sitting on the shore
facing the river in a daze
what is happiness
it is the red glow
entering the setting sun
happiness is a dream
immersed
in a noise.

Passage
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
Gray hair is the scalar of the fleeting time
eyes
are the representation
of all things
the mind
is the heavenly body that
visits the universe
everyday
thought is
the direction
shining
bright.

Morning green
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
The color green greets the eye
green overspreading the vast land
climbing up spirited mountain
stincturing thousands of miles of river
uniting the sky
the wind dancing in green dress
green shadows squirming on the forest floor 
birds on branches singing green-colored songs
the air emitting green odors
green is a group of girls
in the meadow
a band of boys in the prairie
running laughing
green is the quiddity of youth
the most precious treasure of life.

Street corner
ChinHooi Ng Mar 2019
Street corner
a ray of light
the pale blue sky
covered with yarn
depicting mystery
stately buildings glowing
the lost smiles
stacked up in early spring
passing sceneries
chaotic lines erasing
the grace of trees
jumping thoughts plummet
buried in the countryside
wandering in a dream
rambling
in a series of flashbacks.

Condo life
ChinHooi Ng Jun 10
Sunset burns
in my eyes
like a piece of nostalgia
not yet extinguished
at the border
of steel and soil
shadows stretch long
become a silent giant
bearing the weight of all these years
standing still in the fissure
of time
at the street corner where
town meets countryside
I remember the sparkling beach
waves murmur in foam
lapping the shores of memory
on the other side
it's the roar of bulldozers
the arousal of city’s neon
sinking into a soft sofa
is what many dwellers here call life
two souls twist in the night
loneliness heavier than our skeletons
two unfamiliar thoughts pressed
in a momentarily illusion
breaths synced like a metronome
falling and rising
searching for any place to land
wind tapping the windowpane
bringing the paleness of dawn
behind us
who are numb to the passion
mountains stretch on
silent and strong
lifting a vast sky
beneath it all
is the weave of city and country
the tangle of dreams and reality
and the countless footsteps
of the faceless
setting out again, fading down the hall
in the morning
faint click of a door
sealing off the shape of
a little comfort.
