In a world where wanderlust implores,and the thrill of adventure knocks on weary doors, that sweet escape can change into burdens unsure.In meticulous detail, I plan my retreat,painting each moment, a canvas to greet. I sketch out my journey to ease my anxious mind always needing to know what joys I might find.

In the stillness of early morn,where shadows soften, and birdsong fills me with the courage, to let go of burdens, set my heart free -you forgave me.My life is sewn with threads of pain,I pick out the patterns, I see the stains each salty tear traced,each constriction of my heart, I follow the path, the lesson is stark, forgiveness is the key.

It’s been too long since you’ve been gone, my memories reside in a quiet room, candles flicker,shadows of love in the early eve.We pour ourselves your favourite, a G&T in hand, I feel the bubbles sparkle, taste of bitter lemon.

We fought not just for our land, but to crush the beast in its lair. When Berlin fell, I wept for all we had lost to get there.

Taking place from April 16 to May 2, 1945, it marked the end of German fascism which, together with its European allies, were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions during World War Two.

I hear you bad mouthing me. Resentment settles heavy on the chest like a night’s full ashtray, when your body is finally weary, and you slug off to bed.It rags at all my conscious states pulling me down like the moon in the early morning.
