Under the boundless sky, say the name
and watch as rosy sunset floods the sky
Lebuhraya, lebuhraya as we’re led into
the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
A city swept by rising sighs and dreams
as I dip my woes into glimmering lakes,
hear the gust herald yellowing blossoms
and rain. You see the same faces every
time you enter a cafe, with coffee and
friends, trouble need not cross our way.
I watch as smiles greet me on the trail
Lebuhraya, lebuhraya as the sky alters
to grey.

So many freeways…I wonder where are the cars?

Such magical names. I love the smiles in the coffee shop. We have a bake shop here that is the same. I especially like the dipping of woes into glimmering lakes. I really enjoyed this poem, Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Sherry 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️

Big town but a small place when it comes to trying to hide. I like this, It’s a pretty town. I haven’t been to Malaysia, closest would be Hong Kong. China and the airport at Tokyo are the only eastern places we’ve visited. Mideast, yes.
Thank you so much, Jim 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
I don’t usually think of cities – let alone expressways – as beloved places, but you make this one sound positively homey. 🙂

Such musical names, Sanaa, and I love the ‘boundless sky’ – we have them here too. I love the description of Kuala Lumpur as a ‘city swept by rising sighs and dreams, and the friendliness of the seeps through with the aroma in the lines:
‘…you enter a cafe, with coffee and
friends, trouble need not cross our way’.
