Whispers of pine, aged,
Carved by hands of bygone days.
Strings hum with life's breath,
Each note a story, tender—
Echoes of eternity....

My heart feels heavy tonight

Old photos and memories

A steadfast emotional anchor

Yearning bygone days

Achingly longing for the lost

My soul sorrowfully hankers...

Long days
six 'til seven
of sunfilled bygone days,
evocative evermore to treasure,
yet so
outre,
larger than life,
peculiar,precious-
a nostalgic ghost to haunt
old age....

My bum is spreading I noticed today
From sitting and contemplating bygone days
Sedate I've become
To old age I've succumbed
No more sit ups, I don't even shave...

Mom, Dad, sit with me
Talk about the bygone days
When your love was new
How have you stayed so in love
I want to understand
You must know the love secret
Oh, please pass it on to me...

My bum is spreading I noticed today
From sitting and contemplating bygone days
Sedate I've become
To old age I've succumbed
No more jogging or sit ups, I don't even shave...

My mind is trapped within this maze,
forced to ponder bygone days,
wasting time on what is lost,
reliving paths long since crossed,
deep remorse for choices made,
guilt becomes a lethal blade....

The
stillness
in summer,
of Sunday's past-
as
is
moments-
bygone days
that could never
last

Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;
Deep dreamer,
forward thinker,
silencer, sprouting poise,
kindnesses core respect;
of place, art and age;
current behavior
from bygone days
Japan stays....

EVENTS OF LIFE
  

       Long past with short future in last phase,
       Life tries to glance on the bygone days.
       Millions of events all disarranged
       Distant memories too mismanaged.

Thoughts, breathless,
disperse like clouds
in the day.
Interludes,
cut short in the wind,
gone
with the time.
Empty caves of remembrance,
torn in a starless sky,
the light of bygone days,
extinct.
Broken watch-glass,
torn off hands,
covered by the sand
of the past....

Moments past, long dead and gone,
Etched still though said and done; 

Meandering to what once had been,
Olden, bygone days way back when;

Restless the ghosts of yesteryears,
In the brain like a nagging refrain;

Enduring what is best forgotten,
Surrendering to memories again....

Between 
a nameless you
And bygone days when
world was around you!
I could breath one thing
Emptiness, am added season
Deep down within 
I swear
The canvas will be painted
Only in black and white
If ever I meet you
I will guess
In every footstep of your
The colour was sprinkled!...

Taking a flight of fancy through bygone days
Recollecting memories of countless prosperity
Those precious gems of life’s gifts
I find it in the smell of your old room
It’s in the gestures of your journey
That I still see so clearly
It’s in the smile captured in your photograph
There is hope in your everlasting legacy...

Memories
Memories, little snippets from our past. Moments in time replaying in our minds as we yearn for our bygone days. Some warm our hearts, and others fill us with regret.
But memories, whether good or bad will always be apart of our everyday lives, reminding us of the past that is forever gone from reality.

V.M. Tackett...

Time creeps up on us ever so slowly
Snatching up our youth and vigor,
Sometimes making us feel so lowly
Hence our Bentwood and our liquor.
Time went faster looking back on
Recalling those bygone days of bliss,
Only today, since yesterday is gone
Hungering for just that one more kiss.

Gone are the times when we did play
when laughter swept us through the day 
when sunshine filled the world we knew 
with petals wet from morning dew 
with lilac trees and sagebrush brooms
and e'er the sweet honeysuckle blooms

What would I give 
to relive 
an hour of bygone days 
when sunshine filled the world we knew
and laughter filled our days....

Bygone days

Climbing trees 
Paper boats
Scabby knees
Duffle coats
Pick n mix
Runny nose
Thrupenny bits
Scruffy clothes 
Flying kites
Desperate Dan 
Conquer fights
Tins of spam
Spots n pimples
Teachers cane
Hunting thimbles
Bronco lane
Skimming stones
Hopscotch
Nit combs
Chicken pox
Kicking cans
Running wild
Building dams
Fifties child...

in a
gentle
whirling
crispy crunchy
blizzard of
flamboyant foliage
a delirious flurry
of a melody
sways me

Silent and still the dreamer lay
while before him flies a vast array
of myriad images and vistas grand
as he wanders thru 
this enchanted land

A sound
a voice
a gentle breeze
that seems to whisper 
through the trees

You're here at last
O' won't you stay
and talk awhile 
of bygone days
when we were young 
and so carefree
so much in love
you and me...

Just as you were you remain always to be
Someone special in my memory
Your gentle nature, your quiet way
Leaves gentle memories of bygone days

A smile for all, a heart of gold
One this world was not meant to hold
Forever faithful, always kind
These are the memories you leave behind
You have been called to serve the divine
In my heart you will always be mine...

Fragile

Moments dissolve
in loneliness,
fragile,
breeze of doubt,
timid
as bone china
of  bygone days.

Strewn  thoughts,
lost in short sentences.
Past lost
and forgotten.
Fragile future,
silent horizon,
silence of sea 
at lee side.

Past days,
fragile as morning dew.
Presence  opens
in the book of silence,
day dreams, 
lost in the setting sun....

Casting dubious shadows
Wistful and stirring
A full moon rising
Keeping its eye on
Giddy ghosts and goblins
And costumed little munchkins
Out loose trick or treating
