Stolen Persons!

Waves and waves of yesterday's 
cloud and crowd up memory space
Mind of library shelves are packed
up, down, side to side over stacked
Happenings flattened out of shape
vacuum packed storage memory rape
Filtered to brain's dustbin
yes here's room for lots to fit in
Faces shadowed to strange unknown 
sadly all just the same faceless clone
In the sea of all have ever been
disappearing in insanity and between
A lifeboat holds the person all know
though help stuck in stagnant reverse flow
Splintered thoughts shoot here and there
grab one fast as today's unreachable doesn't care 
More and more lost to forget all sea
just dementia shark to eat last shreds of memory
Now in the moment the only present is
gone instantly to all forgotten never will miss
Just a body shell left on the beach
but the real person frantically waving 
forever lost and out of everyone's reach 

                  'Dementia'
