A little northernmost town <br />Sandwiched between hills <br />And virgin forest <br />A small townI once took to roam <br />Pengkalan Hulu <br />Still dear to my heart <br /> <br />Forever it shall remain <br />Enshrined within me <br />Together in eternity <br />We shall live in harmony. <br /> <br />Once it was a mysterious haunt <br />Of terrorists <br />masked and armed <br />Killers from killer regime <br />The armed CPM. <br />The enemies moved in her pockets <br />Of green foliages <br />That sustained them to rid of the law <br />And to claim this land of Malaysia <br />unto their hands <br />Bloody hands. <br /> <br />My beloved Pengkalan Hulu <br />Was famed for *CPM <br />Yet now she is still famous <br />But for her warm beauty <br />That spans the scope of our vision. <br /> <br />Her gentle gesture <br />Hidden amidst the trees <br />And the soothing touch <br />Mingles with the breeze <br />She smiles beautifully <br />An enemy’s heart shall mellow immediately. <br /> <br />Though by years <br />I am staying far <br />The pang of separation <br />Pains my heart every minute <br />My mind caresses the old memories. <br /> <br />The trails that divide the forest <br />I tracked passionately <br />Rubbing the jutting leaves <br />And branches of the old trees <br />My trails were carpeted well <br />By beautiful brown leaves <br />Of various shapes and sizes <br />That to this day I owe her <br />My gratitude for feasting my sight <br />With enchanting beauty <br />Unparalleled by any. <br /> <br />Pengkalan Hulu, my sweetheart <br />I miss you a lot <br />I wish I can bring me to succumb in you <br />So in you I shall expand for another birth <br />On this same land of yours. <br />Physically I am at a distant away <br />Yet in my mind it’s your face <br />I see unwaveringly. <br /> <br />©cyclopseven.
