View of my city, Kuala Lumpur
There’s a pattern to darkness
Invoking a ritual of
Long forgotten instructions, now
dissolving on carbon printed quotes
Before dawn corrodes the night
Tiny strips of diamond Studded knots
Unbreakable like valence bonds
induces a Chemical reaction through
volcanic pleasure domes
High on youth and smoke screams
acidic dreams plummet eventually
a poem inspired by my view over the city……..high above in my glass tower

I live in a suburb about 30km away but we have a condo in the city and it is nice to spend a weekend just shopping and enjoying the night life.

Yes and yes! I love the country, but I need trips to the city with all its vibrancy. And book stores. And coffee shops. The magical feeling came from your poetry. You totally took me there! Thank you, Gina!

I remember when I visited this city with my kids. A couple of them wouldn’t go up that tower and I was a little scared myself… but I did. And wow… it was an amazing view. This poem has a remarkably ominous tone to it…

I am afraid of heights but my kids are the brave ones and I am led with eyes closed, but you are right totally worth up once up the towers.
I feel the city has a different energy at night, so innocent in the day time but at night the lights make it mysterious and full of adventure, probably felt unsafe in some areas too and I am always a little weary and my imagination goes wild! Hence the ominous sounding lines.

Yes, I agree and remember that about the city…
Sadly I also remember an epic bought of a stomach virus that ran its course through the family…
But there was this great street food with… oh man… mind went blank… Chinese buns cooked in a steamer… help me out
