Prompt 235: Spectacles


Locomente of Locomente brings us this week's prompt, spectacles.  Here is his poem:

Stay close to me
You are the meaning of my birth
The sunshine of my life
You are the magician
Casting spells of love and hope
You are the musician
Adding melody to my life
You are a part of me
Never leave me

Stay close me
I want to live my life with you
I want to see the World through you
I want to wove my dreams around you
You are my spectacles
You make my vision clear
My life better
You are a part of me
Never leave me

* Halcyon (adj.)  1540s, in halcyon dayes (L. alcyonei dies, Gk. alkyonides hemerai), 14 days of calm weather at the winter solstice, when a mythical bird (identified with the kingfisher) was said to breed in a nest floating on calm seas. From halcyon (n.), late 14c., from L. halcyon, from Gk. halkyon, variant (perhaps a misspelling) of alkyon "kingfisher," from hals "sea, salt" (see halo-) + kyon "conceiving," prp. of kyein "to conceive," lit. "to swell," from PIE root *keue- "to swell." Identified in mythology with Halcyone, daughter of Aeolus, who when widowed threw herself into the sea and became a kingfisher.
