Forgetful Poems

No, Forgetful Sweety

So pathetic is the word,
I would like to say aloud;
your silly and giggling laughter
bothers me, it's a true disaster!

No, forgetful sweety
nothing convinces me,
don't scatter clouds
when it's too sunny;
should I belittle words
that make clowns laugh 
hard, it doesn't including me...
because it cuts me in half!

Don't hurry a conversation,
don't avoid physical contact
when feeling the urge;
I'm your closest

Forgetful

My eyes became red and I was trying to rub it away.

Then I jerk awake and everything is bright and different.

Everyone is moving and whirling around me.

I’m hiding,

I’m hiding but they know.

As if a stranger has been tapping at my door, and I’ve been hiding so I don’t have to answer.

Hiding and hiding, and they

Group Home

he lived in a group home in Corning
he went to a room without warning
	“You’re in the wrong bed!”
	“Don’t worry,” he said,
“I won’t remember in the morning.”

I'Ve Been Forgetful

As I reach for the sky
I realize there's no need for us to end up the same
Life has had its gifts and we hardly still remain
Please kiss me and make me forget tomorrow 
I am not here to suffer and I will hold on to joy for dear life
Consider this a truce, a testimony of

It's Our Secret, Tricia

Where do I begin ~ my memory fails me all the time
I just shake my head although sometimes I do scare myself
but it's truly hard to top the story I heard last week
about my friend who folded her laundered undies neatly
then placed them diligently on a shelf in her fridge
before proceeding to prepare dinner

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman
What happened to the me I knew
back in the bloom of girlish youth 
I wonder where the years have gone
when I still feel just twenty one.

My hair's now fifty shades of grey 
was a brunette back in the day
Wonder where these wrinkles come from 
yesterday I’m sure I had none.

I wonder where I've left

Lost and Found

We found them!!

They were in the alley next to the piled trash

outside the club.

We were probably so drunk last night;

we left them on the barstools.

We quickly put them on and hurried home.

She secured hers with Spanx,

Mine with tight-fitting Hanes.

We knew for certain we’d return that night

and “laugh our asses off” again.

Twilight

Is it today now or yesterday still?
Is it time already for morning pill?
hazy light filters in through the window,
as crimson gathers over distant hill!

Can’t tell early dawn from the evening glow,
for me time stands still and the day is slow,
from downstairs sound of kitchen plying food,
my rumbling hunger signals time to go!

I walk in to

My Hat

My hat! My hat!
Where did I leave it at?
Oh dear oh dread
It's on my head
My hat my hat my hat.

Tale of a Forgetful Old Man

There once was an old man living all alone,
his frail memory often ran away from him
like a lean little rat with a long curved tail
to hide without trace in a small dark hole.

He was immensely fond of travelling around,
any time of the year his home he would leave 
with his brown suitcase like him already

The Most Despicable Act

It was inexcusable,
Mean,
Terrible,
Despicable, 
Horrible
Inevitable,
Inescapable,
The worst I had ever seen

What was it?

I stood and stared at her.
Wishing I could remember.

Forgetful Memories

A cold dark past
A Chill chilled Dawn
An empty vessel full of bitterness
A lonely heart that can't fill up!

Such Is Life,  Is it? 
So,  what can be done ahead? 
What is it really to be filled?
An empty space,  a broken piece! 

A great hollow spot!  An empty gaze.... 
Don't wanna recall!
Don't wanna

Loses Things Too

She was never on time
bought her a watch
she loses things too
