I want to experience freedom like borders don't exist
to experience life like time no longer persist
to live humbly and die gracefully
to accept who I am and be proud
to never cry aloud

I’m in love with the 12th of May
A love I cannot completely convey
I wish that I could always say
The sun is shining as it shines that day
The birds and the flowers both betray
The warmth of an unseasonal ray
If only poetry could portray
The brilliance seen at the break of day
I count the seconds til underway
And I hope and I pray
To live forever like it's the 12th of May

A loud cheer from a huge crowd
Anxiously waiting for their idol
listen to words of promise
An aspiring Future leader
Charismatic and strong
Loved by many hated by many
Singing his manifestos
Some agrees some are doubtful
Music to the ears... real sweet..
If only he did not sugar coat everything
He might have won....
There goes one charismatic leader
All talks but no action....

Off to 'The Orchard' for afternoon tea
Beautiful and quaint, filled with history

Rupert Brooke, the poet, started the trend
Taking tea in the garden 'til the days end

Virginia Woolf, a writer, with a troubled mind
Enjoyed the bonds of friendship with a group so kind

It goes as far back as the year 1897
Cambridge students found a pocket of heaven

Blossoming fruit trees arranged in rows
Scattered seating, cushions and colourful throws

Crumbling moist Scones with jam and cream
Carrot Cake and Cordial an Elderberry dream

Horses in the distance and cows by your side
Cool Emerald grass where the insects hide

A wander by the river hand in hand
The most peaceful day that ever was planned






I visited The Orchard yesterday, a most gorgeous place.  I hope this poem gives you a picture of this idyllic little corner of England x

Its the rule of a game
An excited winner
A frustrated loser
but winning isn't everything
and losing is not the end....

Funny how I feel inside
When my eyes meet yours
and your eyes meet mine
Its like the snow is melting in my heart
and I am drowning in the sea of love...

I met someone at the airport
A stranger said Hi and smiled
I tried to avoid a conversation
I was so unfriendly I did not even smile

Later when I was in the plane
The stranger's seat was  next to mine
8 hours long journey
The silence was agony

Too proud of myself to say anything
Total ignorance, pretended he wasn't there
But he must have heard my tummy growling
He smiled and offered me muffin and drink
and again He said Hello...

Now you tell me I did right or wrong
for not talking to a stranger?
