I know I’m far from perfect.
I make awful mistakes.
I know I’m overly loud.
I dominate and crowd.
I do have a big heart.
A soul so soft.
I do love to hold and to kiss.
To cuddle and caress.
I feel your reluctance.
Your barrier fence.
I feel like a fog over you.
Like the morning dew.
Will you ever need another.
Or love another.
Will you ever let me remain.
Or look for me again.
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.
