Love at First Sight 






Love at First Sight 


the morning clouds  

were stone-grey and low 

and their persistent showers  

kept swirling in


 

I was at the cemetery  

with pink roses for Carole

the lawn was damp and slippery  

I lost my balance and stumbled 

and fell against her headstone 

no damage was done, to her or me


 

then I remembered 

how I bumbled and stumbled  

when we first met 

a fortuitous blind date


 

despite my awkwardness 

we wholeheartedly shared  

“love at first sight”

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.

  5. Aw, SO sweet and precious, Ivor! What wonderful memories! You’ve expressed them and your emotions so beautifully. 🙂 (Pass the tissues.)
    Lovely photos!
    Luke Evan’s version of that song is so heart-touching.
    (((HUGS))) 💜💜💜
    PS…I’m sure Carole was smiling during your visit to her. 🙂

      1. That’s wonderful. Hope it was a fun day.

        My husband’s ashes are in the yard with our son’s, and some of the ashes of our sweet kitties. They are near me. I set them free, because it’s what they would have wanted. It’s been so many years, but just like yesterday.
