The Door

Shall I knock on this door?
To see what I have left
Finding the space I still deserve
Looking for moments hanging on the wall
Not sure if I really need a closure
Maybe I will never put it to rest
Maybe this is my learning curve
A reminder to never give my all

Grand Bazaar

This building stood against time
Cracked at all phases
Blended til tasteless
Drenched in sweat and tears
Beyond curiousity and being furious

This building stood against time
Each path lined with history
Every corner bears a memory
The wall bounced with an anthology
The floor drowned in beautiful poetry

This building stood against time
No threat can burn the roof
No pity can make it move
This fortress is mine and mine only
Alas, you are not worthy to challenge me

Antara

Cuba menghambat keruh
Langit matikan guruh
Deru bersilih ganti
Merungkai mimpi malam tadi

Beda dingin jendela
Antara Istiklal dan Galata
Dipisah tiga puluh anak tangga
Apa hatinya masih ada?

Realization

I am watching you watching him
Being in your own bubble
I am looking at you looking at him
Dreaming the impossible
