Halcyon Days
HALCYON DAYS Seeing the past through rose coloured glasses And memories with a tinge of happier times Was it always the case that the past was nice And never subject to the cold of frost or ice I’m sure all prefer when temperature climbs As sun is revealed when a dark cloud passes Those halcyon days were probably tainted By challenges that brought...

Halcyon Days
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 of a golden age, starting to crack and peel… ...

The Halcyon Days
Unflustered epoch, warmer, bright, when all the world willed pure delight and games gave chase through afternoons on cloudless days in Mays or Junes: then, time stood furthest from the mind and spring was always close behind wherever winter served its worst. How we would hurry, sing, or burst into the yards, play hide or seek, watch butterflies, or climb to peek beyond the forest...

Halcyon Days! I do not seek your enmity but think I'm grateful we're not friends although we were for many years. Let half the nation say adieu, There's nothing I desire from you! I won't lean toward false gravity, defame my truth, praise your loose ends. I humbly thank you for your part in showing me a Judas kiss, but sad to know that...

Infinite sorrows non-existent life chirped in oblivion halcyon days of childhood unplanned outcomes were a hit full-on Masti from dawn to dusk until a voice boom into ur giggles "You're grounded 4 a week" a tiny moment of heartbreak, erased again in no time with your favourite ice cream....

How I loved our trips to the local park … As long as it wasn’t raining you’d be raring to go The second I got you out of your buggy you were off like a rocket You’d run towards the swings as fast as your little legs would go I’d run beside you and lift you onto...

Heading down to the water's edge A relaxing place to hang out Forgetting my everyday cares and woes Watching kids jump and shout Everyone's wearing a great big smile Laughing and skipping along Reminding me of my halcyon days Singing those happy songs Cherish those spirited days of yore With us for too short a while Never to return except in our thoughts So greet each...

Halcyon Days
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 me? Do I recall this bright and carefree dawn? Oh no....

Halcyon Days
Cool water pushes up against my face. Eyes searching, left, right, enchantment, pure delight. Darting colours dashing through. From twilight shadows wonders move. I hang, buoyant, watching, mesmerized enraptured by this lustrous paradise...

Goodbye Halcyon Days
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 saw only her And yet I fought For you to be together With...

Halcyon Days
Nets of remembrance cast way back Dredging and fishing the waves Of surf on a childhood island Where the halcyon days sleep in graves. Does anyone know where the time went? When the tide of life started to turn, How it slipped through the fingers like nothing, How it seemed there was plenty to...
