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.

Longing and love! Sunrise brings so many positives to us! Your poem is richly descriptive, filled with emotion, and very dream-y, Ivor.
HUGS!!! π
PS…that song always makes me SIGH π
Oh Carolyn, thank you for being so kind, sorry, i’m feeling a bit down and tired at the moment…
((Hugs)).. ..I think I’ll be ok…. a good sleep…. and back into my exercise routine tomorrow … xx
I hope some sleep will help. And routine can be good.
Know that when you are feeling down (even just a little bit) we lift you up high with our love! π
(((HUGS)))
I like to think of friends as holding hands and making a “raft”. Sometimes we are holding hands while a friend is on the “raft” and other times we are the one on the “raft” while our friends are holding us up high and safe! π
Right now, we are holding you up high and safe, with love, Ivor! π
A splendid dream
