Dementia’s Cruel Kiss

There were clearly things lost
within himself
quite unlike any puzzle or maze
he had previously
known or ever got lost in before ..
I know what I know
and I know what I saw, he said ..
Yet still, I’m not able
to make sense of them no more ..

While one still has a good memory,

It hurts. It stings. It's not fair at all. I don't like thinking about things like this after losing my grandparents..but. it's part of life. I used to tell myself that they forget.. so we can remember and pass on the stories in until we forget.. it's A circle of life. Think about it in a positive way and you'll be able to enjoy whatever time is left after that unfortunate phase. Much love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm here for you and for anyone who needs someone to talk to. Or just to listen. 💕💕 Cosmo and everyone on it has become this family I created whenever I needed to escape my.. reality. 💞

I appreciate poets who write within themselves. Within their hearts. That's how it becomes a piece of art, a piece of work, a piece of written poetic history. Sometimes all it takes is just a good silent moment and then just start writing whatever comes to mind. That's how I get my work done sometimes. I really did enjoy this poem. It spoke to me in such volumes I've never understood before. So thank you. 💕 xoxo to you & yours also.
