Sometimes I sing because of you
My world turned fancy
just because I carried you along -
So I trespassed into the boundaries of the city in the morn
solo
I walked in and do things I've wanted to do
and also others that I'd imagine I could act upon
I never knew
there was an Indian temple at the corner
nor had a legit trip to visit the Petaling Street
I am a traveller myself
watching the labelled tourists sitting on doorways
sweating under the sun
carrying their bagpacks
people watching
how different am I than you
as we swim between lanes, sunglasses and the rich and poor souls,
anxiety, pleasures derived, and the sugar cane stalls
I got my pair of shoes
as I got ready to be pumped up dancing to my content -
I had conversations with the shoemaker
and tried to converse to the flower seller
yes it was a fruitful trip down
as I untangled the braided jasmines
and realized that it is what I've always wanted to do for myself
my day was as sunny as the afternoon hot sun
just like how I'd sometimes, think about you
I could have stayed longer
but I was called
when we bumped into each other
I remember your smile, warm and welcome like how it always was
my hug was meant to be translated as
a process of metamorphosis, even colourful jellyfishes, or maybe a well-baked apple pie
I don't know if you can tell
or can even have that deconstructed
It didn't matter
you were with me all the time
for I've privily carried you with me
whilst travelling through space
such intimacy you've instilled-
Even if its possibly, an ascension built over false images
I'd go ahead and write this
as if it is a connection of lover's telepathy
I wish
I could tell you more
