Poems ✍️

Dotage, pervades upon th' ashen grey -
silent whisps...of an old rankled Brain.
Hemispheric's universe sore estranged,
obstruction, occlusion, neurologic stain
like leaves besmirched by driving rain,
waning, draining, consumed by bereft;
so cold... so cruel... is their final breath-
until mercy comes in th' form of Death,
the passage of Death, the presence of Death
'til the passing o'er doth conjure new breath.
