My memories
All gone but my
Heart is still
Beating strong

Alzheimer's in the air
As I stop and stare

Confused and

Left alone
Tears fill my eyes
Scarred of life

Sadness in the air
As I stop and stare

Empty promises
Cast aside and my
Broken heart left
Terrified

Alzheimer's is in the air

And I'm so confused
And a tear rolls down
My face I'm left to suffer
In this lonely old place.

15.01.21                                                                                                        
                           It’s 1987.                              
         She’s smiling at the waves cascading,
        looking out at a world that didn’t exist.
In the emollient, rosemary morn’s glow                
             pregnant with prickly pear scents
           a cherry-pickled dress crashed into the foam
      and up bobbed a nest of blonde.                  
             Kissed by the wind; nourished by the sea,
                   I watched my sweetheart flee.

All I want
In this world
Is To be Me
In every moment
