Hi Kiddo’s, I hope you will read this
I’m home now, feeling out of control
Happy, and half intoxicated
I think, I fell over on the dance floor
That’s Ok, you helped me, and picked me up
You young girls didn’t know where I’d been
The kid’s didn’t understand
They were dancing
With a resurrected, ancient man
Who had walked on water
They couldn’t comprehend
An old man’s joy
O being alive, and travelling
Nor read my mind beyond
Fifth Avenue
Too young to see,
Life, is a whirlpool
Of floods and droughts
Empty deserts and doubts
I Love this video and song by Jake Bugg .. ..enjoy ……

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.

If we can bring ourselves to write while we’re tired and stupid, the words might be a bit abstract, but found there were some good thought in my subconscious mind…xx
