Meng Lim Dr Poems

Calm is the starless night
but troubled is the heart
deep silence descends
pain will not part-
...

It was the fancy
of 'Once upon a time'
that brought so many
such a miserable outcome
...

After reading Tang Dynasty poetry:

She promised to meet me
at midnight
...

Metamorphosis

It's not late, never too late
to change direction
...

We don't have only one brain, but two-
the natural and the artificial:
the former seems out of date
to most the computer makes for the better other
...

Love is not an imperative
in marriage --but money:
no woman would enter into it
if there were no security
...

sunset
dusk
night
...

An autumnal midnight
the chirping of cicadas
moaning of the silent tides
beneath weeping stars-
...

When the weary and long-suffering world
has lost its every golden cherished song
and life is no longer a feast nor a pearl
my heart shall still sing, brave and strong-
...

The harvest is over this year
I wait for next year's summer
Nature never fails in its promise
One season faithfully follows another.
...
