(you\'ve done it again, dear Poet
inspired me to pen, something
far above my feeble poetic talent\'s limits
with your choice words, of impactful poetry
got me good you did
didn\'t expect, such a short write
to get me poetic creativity, all worked up.. lol
my cheque of gratitude is in the post, as always)
\'everyone talks about Dijon
as their mustard of choice, and yes
it is smoother and does have
a classy tempered, aesthetic and taste, but
for me
I like that bold, impactful English mustard
accented with that horseradish
\'stiff upper lip\'
matter of fact, memorable
taste...
Perfect heat, to help
dip
proximity\'s, electrified attraction
in-to, those sensual
devouring moments
of impassioned flesh, intoxication..\'

The Decline of Recollection
Doggerel Dave said:
I did not read your piece as necessarily relating to dementia , Neville, but rather as infirmity relating to a possible stroke or just general physical decline.. That diagnosis seems to have been taken on my respondents further up the thread.

Sad, scary, hopeless, but so damn real. Enjoy now while we still can.

Accidental Poet said:
Great write N. Both my adoptive parents passed with Alzheimer\'s/Dementia. As hard as it is for the children, it\'s worse for the parents. Now I think my sister is falling victim to this disease, and I can\'t help but wonder if it\'s got me in its sights too. 🤔

Think you summed it up perfectly.
The old are a burden in modern day life, and the system keep them alive through something called humanity, though if you did this to a dog you would be prosecuted.

Surely you don\'t want to start a debate on voluntary euthanasia here, Neville...I\'m for, very much so, but ready for another battle.......?

Unfortunately the social support system here is still inadequate. If there is no extended family, such patients will be abandoned in a busy medical ward usually. And short staffed wards have no personnel to care for the elderly, abandoned stroke patients, etc. A really sad state of affairs.

“ Remembering those passing times
Cherishing the meets we held that time
Flashes as you chose to leave behind
Me and the memories buried deep inside “
A very emotive write dear Neville
Certainly felt a past which maybe heart never left behind

If he managed to notch up, in the course of a life at least one uncomplicated (close to) perfect relationship, then he (they) could feel justification for their existence.
Interesting enigmatic write, Nev.

that \'hot air\', disparity

something similar
may shirk at the unnervingly
surgical, accuracy
of your measured depiction
but I choose to celebrate
your poetic mastery and brave expression
of sincerity
words, penned with the ink
of love\'s ashen remains...)
