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.

Our inner universe is filled with love and abundance of love and connects to the All.
Thank you Cheryl, for your cheery comments. I’ve been fasting this morning for my heart test at the hospital… At the Box Office Café, now having a late breakfast, and happy that the test is over 😊💙🌏☕
Your trio…photo, haiku, and song…is brilliant, Ivor…and so uplifting! 🙂
I’m so glad love will always win out in the end. 🙂 So we hold it, share it, be grateful for it! 🙂
(((HUGS)))
PS…That is my fav version of that beautiful song! 🙂
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside of you.” – Rumi
Oh .. that film clip/video makes me cry, but in uplifting happy way…. I’ve had this version in my playlist for years… and I thought my lovely little Haiku deserved such an uplifting song….
Oh… I do love that quote by Rumi… xx
Cheers… 💙💚💛🌏
I love the concept in your beautiful haiku! A universe within all of us for sure. A life time of memories and experiences all recorded in our galaxies of the mind!! Along with a few dark holes!!

Thank you for this meaningful haiku, Ivor. Without love in your heart, everything else is pretty irrelevant. ❤ Take care, Cheryl
