Known Eyes
Sometimes your problems
Seem very small,
When compared to
Someone who manages
To rise every dawn
After every dusk’s fall.
One such personality
Dutifully delivers
To unknown locations,
While a large chunk
Of his mind worries
About fund allocation;
Drenched in rain,
Or stuck in traffic,
He makes sure to
Deliver our picks.

LADY WALKING
She walks a marathon distance each day,
passing people she has known for years
now unrecognizable, vague, like shadows.
She no longer engages with them,
struggling to distinguish between the faded faces.
She retraces each step, regardless of the weather -
always dressed for it. Back and forth.
The same handful of routes trodden in sequence.
The same street corner where she...

Awaiting Bliss
I'm no longer me, she said
Later, when clouds passed by
Her mind went with them
She discovered it, sometime later
in a jar upon a dusty shelf
In a room unfamiliar
Where Time had nibbled away
at the glistening softness
to leave a part of it missing
But she wasn't to know
It was others who relayed it
In sympathetic stares
And, enforced, Mona Lisa smiles

The Withered Vine
I watch her slowly
fall from grace
Her body still
Her mind displaced
New memories
no longer stay
they simply
just
drift a w a y
Like a mist around
a mountain old
that dissipates
as the dawn unfolds
She's there in body
but sparse of mind
Sometimes it's hard
to seek, and find
The vibrant woman

Forgetfulness
I may forget where I put my keys.
I may forget my phone.
I may forget what day it is.
I may forget my way home.
I will never forget sunsets over the ocean.
I will never forget blessings from above.
I will never forget soothing melodies.
I will never forget the love.

THE SHIP THEY CALL "ALZHEIMER'S"
THE SHIP THEY CALL 'ALZHEIMER'S'
Hello my friend, welcome aboard
The ship they call 'Alzheimer's'
There's forty thousand under sixty-five
'Young onset' to 'Old timers'
It doesn't matter what you call it
The umbrella term's 'Dementia'
On the ship they call 'Alzheimer's'
Every day's a new adventure
Forget your hip replacement
And your osteoarthritis
They we...
