The Maze in my Mind
The Maze in my Mind
*this poem is dedicated to all those who are suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers and have lost themselves somewhere
Bravely I set out
To do a reconnaissance
To gain knowledge of a known enemy
Before I fell into the conduit flume
Of an esoteric metaphysical chute!
Standing in stark nakedness
I am at the underpass
Drawn by the verdant darkness
The quagmire of my mind in a quandary
An impending imbroglio of confusion.
I tumbled unknowingly into deceit
A treacherous morass of neurons
Now in a log jam of lies.
Like a fiddlercrab with mechanical radiance
spring adorns itself with million flowers
Only to face autumnal defeat!
My memories still sleep safely in my past!!!!
The world is now a narrow tunnel
Opening into mysterious locations
Why then do I need extra memory
I seek directions even after the address is given.
Got to find that woman who was my friend
She will help me knit back my life
To become the bioethical captain of my ship
But my rudder is broken to bits!
Strange....the female face in the mirror is familiar
She smiles with defective deep dimples
Fake laughter filters my hapless soul
Can she take me home?
My family must miss me..it is late!
Excuse me...is this my home?
Excuse me...do I know you?
Please find me albeit by chance
I feel like a phantom
A mere specter from my past!!!!
