Always More Beyond

Welcome! To the island called "AlwaysMoreBeyond". It is the island where Truth's flower wearing the colour of the Rose of Sharon blossoms with the fragrance of the Lily of the Valley. This is the island RS Thomas wrote about when he said, "I would still go there if only to await the once-in-a-lifetime opening of truth's flower; if only to escape such bought freedom and live, prisoner of the keyless sea, on the mind's bread and water."
Whenever and whatever I post, I am mindful of what Jane Kenyon said, " It is not with the lyre of someone in love that I go seducing people. The rattle of the leper is what sings in my hands." And here is my poem that I hold dear in my heart...it is entitled "NO ILL"... N O I L L This Everest Stone resting on my breast Bone, someone placed it there. And I know, God, you allowed it. Not to hear the broken reed Cry of my breath. Not that I may know your strength When suddenly you remove the weight. But that by this I may know You delight in me: my enemy Shall suffer no ill because Of my broken ribs
This is what Aurora Antonovic, Canadian Poet Extraordinary, Artist, Editor of Poetry Journals and e-zines has to say about Kianseng Ng, "Continuing on our travels, we have Dr. Kianseng Ng, a physician by day, and dynamite poet and artisan by night. Dr. Ng couples his skilled poetry with some of the most intrinsic and inspiring batik I have ever seen. On Always More Beyond, topics such as mental illness, Parkinson’s Disease, and loneliness are touched upon with such insight and tenderness, that one realizes the duty and power of pure poetry" ,"

IMAGERY IN POETRY (11)

Question: Kianseng, one of the lovely things about your poetry is the imagery. I believe you look at life through surreal spectacles and that makes your poetry “spectacular.” I remember that one of your blogger friends once asked you, “What is an... more
