An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Lioness Eyes
Two scenes from the same evening — twilight blazing in the west and moonlight rising in the east. Nature offered both, and the music speaks for itself. Which one draws you in?
Lioness Eyes
Who’s winning the mesmerising photographic contest – twilight’s effervescent scarlet sky, illuminating the horizon in the west or the moon’s royal blue panorama edifying the evening clouds in the east?
Both scenarios are beautifully picturesque, and choosing my favourite phosphorescence is beyond my universe’s tinted opalescence.
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Actually I wasn’t sure about a title, then I Googled the meaning of “Lioness Eyes” and it suited my poem, Beth
