Her mind was slipping away,
further and further everyday.
"Who are you?", She would say.
"Don't you know me?, I'm Ray!"
"I know him!"...

will keep dementia at bay
now then where was I.

There once was a spy named Bourne, quite terse, 
Whose memory loss made things worse. 
He'd fight with a chair, 
Then vanish from there, 
And ask, "Who am I? In what universe?"

Laying in bed being aimless doesn't help 
I'm losing my mind in such a soothing way
Magically resetting
Bargaining on memory loss 
Overriding all for serenities pull...

Trump With Hair Thinning from Beginning

He sure has an interesting way of things displaying,
Even though he is growing old  and hair is graying;
Big, brash boss,
With memory loss;
What next is it this moron may be gaily saying?

It's a bit like...
you are in a bathroom
filling a hot tub,
slowly the steam 
covers the mirror...
and the mirror loses it's reflection;
that loss of reflection,
is my memory fading !

Memory Loss

Motivated by thought,
realised mistreated actions.
I owe it to myself, 
to know I am enough.
Who do you think you are,
to make me doubt 
my fire
that burns to bright
for you to desire.
How strong can you then be,
if you can't handle me?
So I have a memory loss
of you and me
a stranger that ones
walked passed me....

Visions of illustrated forks 
Pointing your direction
To the far away mystic night
Where the werewolves howl
Guiding you to your room
Filled with lights and sorrow
The same fearful sound 
Of clicking, like an unwanted houseguest
Or a stray dog with no name
Piercing the hallow depths 
Of your pitiful imagination 
Let your cranium  run wild
And point you to somewhere new...

Post-retirement, why eager to join class?
I can take frequent absence as days pass.
Attend class without study, no fearing.
Teachers won't shout, know I'm short of hearing.
On assignment submission day, I'll say
Sorry! Mam, I didn't remember the day.
She knows memory loss, but alas!
They can't call parent though poor marks scoring 
Nice time for me on Parent-Teacher's day.

I thought it was tonight
but maybe it's tomorrow.
I wondered when I woke
with memory stalled in sorrow.

Then got up to a life
that faded into mind.
And knew I couldn't share
what others couldn't find.

Then started out my day
remembering what I could.
Ignoring all the others
that never understood.

Until I had to share
what some would call a hi.
When all my fears remembering
were pressures quickened bye....

In the rush of living       my heart stops 

between each beat

and for a moment
or maybe just half a moment

she is there.
Not once, but always;

Waiting for me
between those beats,

in every one of my remaining days.

“ I miss you.”

Written as if the sun’s passing     mattered more.

As if being uttered with muttered words,

heard only in the hollow of a poets’ dream,

could bring the past to life 

or resurrect a love.

Morning

When you wake up each morning a 
great start of 
the day is a 
glass of 
amniotic fluid originating from 
the womb of a 
woman with a 
baby or 
babies inside her so 
you can diagnose the likely abnormalities in the 
foetus before they can be 
abnormal. Possible side effects: part or 
total memory loss, instant employment in 
the public sector, parking tickets will 
follow you around, stalk you, and 
you’re voice box may turn to 
static mode.

|| 2 feet from the mud 
on 6 inch heels breathing 
difficult words while screaming 
it's all for real
like kissing touching 
the weeping burning sun
hugging frail entrails 
--while shivering like
bleeding soldiers and 
we're all within a living 
hell /together my billion 
soul brothers and sisters\
there are some remedies
worse than any disease
my withering hands hold
your face as i offer
an invitation for 
memory loss ; 
you receive ||

They say -
 she's in a better place,
I know it's true 
 with all God's grace,
 those last few years
 were ..., well, you know 
 full of tears
how you suffered so, 
 never once complaining,
 the stroke, the memory loss, 
 unable to see, the darkness gaining
 the immobility, the endless pain, 
forgetting me;
God was kind, compassionate, 
 loving to set you free
 calling you home despite my tears
 but for myself, 
I fear
 I miss you every moment, 
   wish you were here....
