Oh baby, I’m tired of watching
You drive my car
The wheels are on fire
Beyond the grip of my sweaty palms
Whenever, is my burn-out time due
Behind the old steering wheel
Before I finally run-out of fuel
Driving on my road, with no rear-vision view
A new license to live, and be beside you
I’m sorry, I’ve not been to see you, I’ll be there soon

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.

Yes I’m feeling emotional at the moment. I have been bed this afternoon, bad headache again and the cold shivers, I hope I wake up feeling betterer in the morning. The last thing I need is another set back
