The Hours of Alzheimer 

12
It starts ticking away slowly
Longer needed to search what’s  known.
Watching the hand jerk 
Minutes passing
“Twelve is for noon, then?”
“Yes.  Yes, Daddy!  Just like that. 
  Twelve noon is lunch.”

Very gently, oh so sweetly,
Out of love and...

Don't you know
I want to go home
Not where I live now
But where I lived long ago
In the house, where as a child,
I had grown

Don't you see
I am no longer me?
Please look and see, there
is a small child
Here inside with me
Look closely into my eyes,
the innocence...

Why Alzheimer's

Sitting blank with nothing to think on my mind
Feels like a dry well in my head.
Nothing old or new under my sun.
Thirsty for knowledge of anykind;
I keep Pumping until there is a drip,
I stick out my desperate tongue to catch the 
hard-pressed moisture to...

There is a wind on South-East Essex
Blowing today and also tomorrow
Cuddling seagulls white like Tipex
Beating the ears of the old-age sparrow

Alzheimer is like yellow leaves
Detached from their own trees
Spinning the mind in the air like bees
Forgetful of you forgetful of me

Alzheimer's body bents like the...

An Alzheimer Old Timer

My hope subsided becoming mere glimmer
And all things that boil now only simmer
For long while have cried and cried
As my meager live became less intensified.

What was wrong with my life must discover
Maybe because I had lost another lover
Or a friend doesn't like...

My dad lay in bed, ready to go to sleep.
I asked him "Dad, do you remember me?"
 " I was your daughter. Your only child. 
Just take your time Dad, think for a 
while."
 " Look at these pictures of you and me,
do they spark...

My name, I’m sure I had a name.
I wish I could remember my name.
My name, is it well known? Is it popular? 
Does it have any fame?

I woke not knowing who I am,
Not knowing where I belong.
Not knowing if this is where I live,
Not knowing...

Limerick crochetés: Once cheerful Alzheimer motorist

Once cheerful Alzheimer motorist 
Drove stolen car on a real tight fist
Drank oil at petrol pump
Bought used golf balls from Trump
Got called to White House as Chief Theorist

First advice he forgot to give Chief
“Show House anagram on handkerchief!”
Got kicked upstairs...

Mirror of Alzheimer

All he knew was the moonlight shined brightly
Leading him into the woods all alone.
Zipping his blue jacket he wore nightly,
He carried his cane, with each step he groaned.
 
Ever so slowly he wandered away;
In his heart was a song from his childhood.
Memories and laughter would...

My love
I’m right here
Forever by your side
I am strong enough for two
Never will I let you down

It breaks my heart
To see your vitality
Slowly fade to nothing
But the eyes don’t lie

The twinkle is still there
Down deep inside
The love’s still there
Deep down inside    

The...

WHAT A CRYING SHAME

My parents were married for 45 years,
Looking forward to their 50th anniversary,
But my Dad got cancer and died,
And my Mom slowly developed Alzeimers!

She lived with us, but often did FLOUNDER,
And her mood was often DOLOROUS,
She spoke incessantly on a make believe phone...

O Moon of My Memory

O new moon of my day-time sky
Reflection of earthshine
Craters and mountains
Vague images floating
Reminding of days gone by

O waxing moon of my memory
Graceful and slender
Teasing and flirting 
Uncertain faces 
Shadows are being
Pushed slowly away

O gibbous moon of my memory
Gathering sunlight 
Expanding horizons
Details...
