I’m dressed in ocean blue
Delivering, my parting kiss for you
Again anxious, not to be late
Remembering, our first date
Then, life’s destiny and fate
Now, wallowing in our left-over wake

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.

This perfectly encapsulates all of those components of a relationship that imprint themselves on us. Really nice turns of phrase in here too. Thanks for sharing, Ivor. Tom.

I actually wore a blue shirt on the day, the colour and the vastness of the ocean, I think captured the void I was feeling at the time. 🤔😊
