Lingering Songs


sometimes I wished

for love to linger longer 

other times I wished

my soul was stronger 


old love lingers on 

within lullaby songs 

is my heart right or wrong? 


sometimes when the music plays on and on  

I hear my angel humming along

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.
