Alzheimer

on holding one memory, and losing all the rest

Of all the Things about her. Beguiling smile is All that I remember.

Of all the Faces I've seen. Hers was the most Relevant in my dreams.

Of all the needs I sought. Her love was the Best I ever got.

Of all the Sounds I hear. Her voice felt Most soulful & clear.

Of all the Lips touching mine. Her lips felt Most tender & divine.

Rest of the Things about her. Kept fading away With my Alzheimer.
