Written for:  Poetic Asides #642 - Love Poem

"For this week's prompt, write a love poem. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, romantic love poems make a lot of sense, and yes, feel encouraged to write those if you feel so inclined. But love is more complicated than that. There's also love between family, friends, and a universal love. 

Love can be happy, sad, mad, apathetic, and so on. Write your "love" poem in whatever fashion you wish today."


I hear no sarcasm
all day.  You no
longer make me
laugh.  Your side
of the bed is filled
by puppy.  Dementia
is eating up all 
those witticisms,
reading ability,
names.  I visit 
you, tell you
I love you, 
and can only
hope some part
of you hears me.
