    Halcyon Days

    Float back to the days...
    
    Where the days were long and the nights were longer
    Times when we were young and the nights were younger
     
    To the days where our thoughts were free
     Times when the breeze was cool and so were we!
     
    Bottles emptied through the night
     A minor argument, a big fight
     
    Things that went wrong and those that went right
     Endless movies and highway rides
    
     Guys who spent hours in front of the mirror admiring their looks
     Guys who slept through the night while others sat with their books
     
    Guys who topped, yet others who flopped
     It all comes back when you walk down that lane
    
     A drink in your hand without bothering who pays
     Beautiful memories……..those Halcyon Days

    The Elixir

    The memories of my past are fast fading
     Idols of my childhood years are disappearing
     Takes a moment for me to realise age has caught up
     Decades have passed since, that mid-life has struck
     The question I ask, is it living in denial?
     Some persistent experimentation or obstinate trial
     Or an inexplicable belief that there’s time left on the clock
     That the ship of life is setting sail not readying to dock
     Such is and fortunately so, the journey of life
     We hang on to the joys to help us tide the strife
     What better time than youth, times of unfettered existence
     High on life, dreams in our eyes, oh! that exuberance
     Wish one could order some of those days “to go”
     Our little perk up snack when life hits a low
     Then you look up and find that helping hand
     The party pack you did carry, your friend!
