A Touch of Alzheimer’s | Donal Mahoney

Wherever I go,
there I am
but if I’m not there

my wife is,
her eyes smiling.
It’s been that way

for fifty years.
Not much more
to say except

whenever I go
some place
and discover

she’s not there,
then I’m not
there either

even though
neighbors tell her
they saw me there

so I ask them what’s
the difference between
flotsam and jetsam.

They have no answer.
Why in their world
worry about me.

I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On | Stan Morrison - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On | Stan Morrison

I sleep in a bed with two pillows
sadly such irony doesn’t escape me
I’m the victim master of this misery
my desk chair has become my throne

is this truly where I live
this address is so strange
it must that I live here
all my keys seem to fit

how much longer am I to live
I need to know how to pace it
with no access to answers
must I keep going doing

all my joys are mixed with memories
getting me through this blur of days
I can no longer stand this wallowing
my self pity permit’s long expired

don’t ask me for new insights
don’t spring any of your own
you won’t uncover how I’m coping
crying laughing in the summer rain

The window twisted open
In a spiral motion
Stories on the street
Drive by like speeding chapters
A hammer can hit you
When you take the time to see
Happiness can take control so easy
When your mind is unconcerned
Still plugged in but not on
Is anything really important
Except the things you can’t see or touch
Or love
Still with no real definition

Poems

1.
I sit alone in a room
Wondering if it’s me or
Whether there’s something more
Going on.
Is he thinking about me?
Am I going crazy?
Is my heart coming to conclusions premature?

2.
I summon the courage
To text him and tell him how I feel.
It goes much better than expected,
He actually likes me,
Apparently as much as I like him.
I feel boundless joy about
What’s to come.
