Quickening Death
Still, silent, and serene-
you couldn't keep yourself from worrying,
detrimental anxiety, and a growing
dementia, overwhelmingly unnerving
falling from routine in a demented reverie
that drove you to the heights of your canopy
as your strength was sifting, and your vision waning
Staggering to maintain composure,
you were displaced by onlookers,
far and away, alone, to suffer
a cold fate for a fading smolder
in lieu of you grew,
or rather, burst forth the atrocious enormite
whom took root in you like a fungus might
and would pollute the inopportune
Dismally
The supreme sovereign, mother nature,
always regulates the departure
of the peculiar from the mediocre;
the pestilence of chance on death like a weed.

this is one deeply powerful and moving poem, the last verse especially so...a member of my family died due to Alzeheimer's, which is why I think this piece is so special - you've illustrated dementia as if you've been through it yourself. thank you for posting this :) ♥
