Majesty of Magenta
My eyes, throbbing with agony,
bore through the window,
desperately seeking the freedom of sky.
To my surprise the crabapple tree
possessed joyous magenta flowers,
providing an unexpected
jubilant assault of my mind.
Lush leafy erratic branches,
a turmoil of spring beauty
stood in striking empathy of my silent cries.
The afternoon sun pales the majesty of magenta.
As only love can pale agony.
Memories live forever, is a haunting horrible lie.
Unlike me, those magenta flowers don't need a why....
My love for her will never die.
The majesty of those magenta flowers,
if only for a moment, seizes and saves me deep inside.

Author's Note
Just sitting with my mom as dementia slowly steals her mind. It's agony to know I've lost her, even though she is still alive. My love for her will never die...

Hold on to what you can to make it through the day, dear lady. Your own precious memories of the two of you are something only you have that can perhaps stir those little moments of clarity for her, though it may be emotionally difficult, I believe they are like little gifts to offer, in the end. I feel your pain of loss and hurt, so clearly.... sending hugs. I know we're all different but I can wholeheartedly relate, Debbie.
Take care, my dear....
Thinking of you both.

I don't think I can say much to relieve the agony. I watched my wife disintegrate and there is no feeling that can describe what you are going through. Love her and cherish her.

Thank you. I do love her, that's why I'm caring for her. The visciousness of dementia upon the mind is brutal.
I can imagine losing your wife like that. Agonizing pain. Thx for reading the poem.

Darling, I'm so sorry you're going through this. You painted a beautiful tribute, and the way you used nature to show that there is beauty still in the pain was really lovely.
Be well, beautiful. You wrote an amazing poem, and my thoughts are with you.

I do remember about your father. Sometimes I do feel like I should be up for sainthood with the rages I deal with, with my mom.
Right now we are watching a movie, and she's calm, a rare moment of coherency. Those moments and the beauty in nature soothes my sadness are how I get through the acid like agony that burns inside.
Thank you for reading and your support.

Oh Delia
This is such a touching and beautiful write but agonising all at the same time, I cannot imagine the pain and hurt you must go through while dealing with dementia and the rage it must stir at times, if I was there I would share all the good hugs and hot drinks with you, take care of you and keep writing those beautiful lines.
Kind Regards
