Who am I
I often ask.
I have no future
I see no past.
A long forgotten book
resides upon the shelf.
An unfinished story
crying out for help.
Family become strangers
as the world bids goodbye.
Memories start to fade
as the past breathes a sigh.
Dementias unforgiving
a cruel slow lingering death.
feeling lost and all alone
in life's dark wilderness.
Dementia Schizophrenia
Dementias' child is oft reviled,
in voices judgement way,
another personality cramps the style,
when nasty comes to play,
Dementia loosens of mind grip,
lucidity disappears,
the personality away does slip,
a vacancy is here,
control returns on Lucid terms,
and all is sweet today,
surfaced like a “whale of sperm ,”
oh bloody “hip hooray”....
Don Johnson
Dementia
riding
Riding on dementias
horse,
will it get me yes
of course?
Dropped me on the
bullock tracks,
has me brain got
bloody cracks,
cant find the tomato
sauce?
Dementias horse is
mean ya know,
bump him along, he's
getting slow,
a touch of spur to
get a grip,
play some chess,
don't give me lip,
me minds at stake
yes/no,
keep the weevils off
me hat,
wake up shooting
bloody rats,
no time 4 bloody
heart attacks,
jigsaw puzzle on she
goes?
Now it's getting
flipping worse,
is that bloody *****
a nurse?
get ya hands off me
ole purse,
piddle time, I
know???
Don Johnson
While the agreeable bond we venture in,
teams with influential speculates',
its treasure is the sacred vow of worth
that yours is, and forever will be;
In accordance with this lively outcome
A generous and jovial ascertain hovers,
the electrifying paranormals you bring
lead splendid aphrodisiacs to my soul.
They benefit internally, pleading parts
that nether regions claim are lesser whole.
Uniting more than life itself can give,
The subtefuge, or lack of it prepares
A dream from stark dementias, only one,
That I ever need to care about has won.
How martyrdom initiates response,
freedom that surrounds existing vibes
our understanding feeds on nonchalance
providing us a love no-one describes.
It sequels in seclusions open stanza,
A free verse masquerade of plentitude
that love shall follow this extravaganza
making waves the motions now include.
How buoyancy defines the dance for us
with surface tension beautifying grace
movements which are spiritual are thus
complete as souls enamoured in embrace.
