I’ve come a long, long way
I remember the bad, bad days
When yesterday’s were dark and grey
On level seven, under heaven’s archway
Laying there immobile and prone
Waiting for the etching of my headstone
Unable to call an angel on my phone
Unknowingly, my silent message, spun out of the cyclone
I awoke inside a comfortable twilight zone
Slowly realising I’d been saved, and finality was postponed

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.

All I do is, unfollow you, then press follow, again, and that seems to work… I’ll have to WP, why it’s happening, it’s happening to other follower’s as well.
