My Story “From Every Moment A Second”

The lines written in Italic, are book titles from my library….

 

My Story, “From Every Moment A Second”

 

From the beginning of my lonely times

When I Was Gone

And there was

The Black In My Bedroom, The Star In My Sky

I would return

Close To Nature

My world began opening up

The Day I Saw The Hummingbird

Singing the tune of

The Wordless Songbook

I started to see

A different Kind Of  Angel

Behind the closing of

The Yellow Door

After reading about desires in a

Book Of Longing

My Bible became

The Flame

And now in life

I Have A Bird To Whistle

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.

  9. Wonderful and creative! and you’ve woven some good book titles into your poem! 🙂

    Love that song/vid! I can’t remember…Have you seen the Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love is a 2019 documentary film? I found it poignant and beautiful.
    (((HUGS))) 🙂

    1. Not sure I’m a genius, but it was an interesting concept to weave my thoughts via the book titles. 🤔😉😊… I’ve been been in bed tonight since 8.00pm,… I had another hard day being a plumber 😏

  12. Have been down that road with book titles also Ivor great concept another you might care to try if you have not already done so is to take an album or cd and work a story/poem around the sleeve titles.
