Mind Games

There’s a sharp pain

Inside my brain.

Harpooning my eye,

More than Ouch, I cry.

So hard to write,

Blurry is my sight.

All I do is peep,

And I must rest and sleep.

I’ve not lost the knack,

And I shall be back……….

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.

    1. I’m Ok Mel [sort of], I’m resting, chatting with beautiful friends, and a few tablets later, that make me dousy, and then knock me out, I don’t like the tablets, but when I have these bad/awful/harpoon attacks, i have to take the tablets. Had to explain, maybe like a bad toothache, except its in those tender nerve ends behind your eye……. So I’m not sick, just lots of pain, which will eventually ease off, haha maybe the drugs will give me some nice hallucinations to write about……

  4. Sorry for your pain my friend. I know how you feel about taking the pain pills. I don’t like taking them but I have to after my knee surgery. Pain changes us, physically and mentally. Hope you feel better soon.

    1. Thanks Karen, it’s Sunday morning here now, and the pain is less today. And yes Karen I am naughty and kept writing a little, really can’t help myself, I’m not a good patient. And I paid the price, in the evening for not resting enough. I shall be more circumspect today. Haha, I’m writing this comment a little piece at a time, and I’m lying in bed contemplating how to manage my day. I’ll stop now, and thank you again for your concern. …
