Floating on the Moon

Hello readers and followers, today I am continuing with my theme of “Moom” poems, and if need to have a chat with me, “I am up here floating on the moon”

Floating On The Moon


I am not always wrong

And at times I may have been right

Behind my mask I smile

And at times I grimace

Numbness has entered my bones

Clumsiness guides my pen

Awkwardness precedes my stride

Uneasiness resonates in my voice

I am not able to walk on water

And at times I have sunk like a stone

I live within my soul’s cocoon

And at times I am floating on the moon

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.

  8. I can so relate to this poem, Ivor. And it flows wonderfully.
    I think no matter what is going on or how we feel…we CAN find comfort and joy in floating on the moon. 😉
    R.E.M’s song is the perfect song to soundtrack your poem and photo! 🙂
    Keep day dreaming, night dreaming, exercising your imagination, and writing! 🙂
    I see the moon as a friend that each of us can talk to, find comfort in, find companionship in. Commune with the moon, MyFriend!!! 🙂

  14. As life progresses and there seems to be no movement to uplift or give some hope. In all directions the energy is heavy. I think I will join you on the moon or some far off star. Anywhere but here. I so desire to see a change for all mankind where somedays at least you can have a happy stride.
