Throwback Friday, Words of Mine

The “Epilogue” poem “Words of Mine” from my book Tullawalla, has been revised many times since my original version, written in November 2017, and the Tullawalla version is definitely my finale piece.

Words of Mine (The Epilogue, in my book ‘Tullawalla’)

I’ve given you all, my humble words
I’ve given you, my hidden soul
Words trickling, through cool mountain streams
Words dripping off the frozen ashen trees
Words gliding across the icy lakes
Words of love, drowning in the memory rains

I’ve given you all, my inner self
I’ve given you, my outer grief
Words Tumbling over the embedded rocks
Words twisting along winding rivers
Words cascading down the forest waterways
Words sifting through my barren hands

I’ve given you all, my lonely heart
I’ve given you, my secret loves
Words of life, living under the vast oceans
Words of time, travelling to the stars beyond
Words flowing through happiness, and sorrow
Words of mine, destiny’s dreams of tomorrow

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.
