Anniversaries, they come and they go.
Some time now, since that final May snow.
Anniversaries, they have floated past,
Some time now, I reminisce the last.
Anniversaries, none ever forgotten.
Some time now, since your everlasting smile was taken,
Anniversaries, through to coral, every hue.
Some time now, since a wave passed through.
Anniversaries, when love grew stronger,
Some time now, since the years became longer,
Anniversaries, through, love, suffering and pain.
Some time now, since our river filled with rain.
Your troubles fell with an Autumn leaf.
Forever enshrined in your honourable belief.
Ivor Steven.

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.
