Best Halcyon Poems

The sun swiftly sits on the creased sea line, stirring crooning clouds of romance.
I sit in awe ~ mesmerized, for the millionth time,
watching the sky sing your name, filling the salty air with high-pitched notes of nostalgia.
For between the island of longing and mountains with...

“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.”
 Lana Del Rey


Happiness with peace for the masses comes sporadically,
And at times it feels like periods of great prosperity or
Long-lasting peace has come not often throughout history.
Changes in politics or times of trouble...

Halcyon – 10-6-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Halcyon

Across the still and placid lake
Halcyon drifts
 In misty cloaks of tranquility
   Stitched with twilight patches of contentment,
Bits of unbound moonlight
Bow 
      In courtly minuets
           On...

I head for the countryside without any hesitation

My weekend retreat’s perched on top...

Under the demure willow
In my hammock just to brood
Complete relaxation
On my opulent lagoon

Right outside my bungalow
Grows plethora of the Moon Flower
They are so lithe with beauty
You could only dream of such a power

Their elixir serves much eloquence
To let go, and just release
The stress of your...

Like an Orchid in bloom 
I fell for you
Little by little
I was consumed
Were do I sleep?
When thought and dream
You constantly seep
Into my heart
To become a part
Tethered to me
For all to see

Times were good
Some stressful too
But I was happy 
Being next to you

I saw only you
You...

Do you remember way back, yester-year,
and far off times when life had just begun?
Of languid days, so free and debonair,
all by the pool with friends and having fun? 
Those happy thoughts of Sue and Kate and Clare,
their tummies tanned and torsos basking in the sun?
And...

Sunset
a living sketch
colours curled together like smoke
in shades gold and plum
oblivious inspiration
to my humbled brush...

Oh my dearly beloved sister,
I'll come as the raindrops to sleep on your flowery heart
Nothing in this Universe possesses the power to set us apart
Compared to you and me, Monalisa is not the greatest art
When you are alone, I'll will be right with you as...

Long live in halcyon days 
of yore the golden age 
of my history mysteries 
known to none but one.

My inner terminal washed 
in ancient memory and gilded 
in halcyon rays...

Of a memory remembered differently 
known to none!

But one my inner sight encrusted 
in a veneer...

I sit still…
Learning life through observation…
Instinct wise serpents allow change to flow…
Growing slowly, shedding skin rebirthing new…
One with purpose, not thinking; being  circling cycles of energy…
Resistance absent; serpents seeking sun releasing old allowing new…
Part of the whole…

I sit still…
Watching the old parking garage…
Rusting metal...
