Storms do come and go
high seas and undertow’s
my chaotic fears on show
awaiting the next big snow
…….
let the pendulum swing
posterity’s blowing in the wind
…….
I’m sitting here on the floor
It’ll be for a short time
’til I find a door
…….
I’m slippery like an eel
I flow with the field
my mood changes with the breeze
I can be cold as ice in a freeze
or I can be warm as toast
sunbathing on a tropical coast
I can be a chameleon in the trees
not easy to see, but ready to please
…….
My soul is open
your eyes look into my heart
your moon’s my Bowman
cupids arrows play Mozart

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.
