The Forest

Haiku

The Forest

 

Tunnel grows wider

Walking out of the forest

The light glows brighter

 

“All The World Is Green”

I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all against the sea
To have a better lifeMarie you’re the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kingsPretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The face forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow?

Maybe when our story’s over
We’ll go where it’s always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The moon is yellow silver
Oh, the things that summer brings
It’s a love you’d kill for
And all the world is green

He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our graves
When all the world is green

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.

      2. I’m going well considering, I had a second minor stroke 6 weeks ago, was in hospital for another 10 days. However since then, I’ve been walking every day, bike exercise twice a day, and 2 x 10min exercise sessions, plus I’m doing rehab twice a week. Yep, I’m trying hard to get myself fit for my trip to America (I’m still going) on the 24th of April, 6 weeks and 2 days to go ….. Thanks for asking Vanessa xxx
