Throwback Friday, Lost in Space

Above Images: My writing ‘space’

Today’s Throwback Friday poem, ‘Lost in Space’ is from June 2020.






Lost In Space

I’m leaving this land of lost grace
And flying off into space
It’s time to run away
My airship, ITMIMS*, is leaving today

Love is a stowaway in the heart
And love needs a head start
Somewhere in this universe
There’s love in the shepherd’s purse



* ITMIMS … Ivor’s Time Machine In Micro Space

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.

    1. “Itmims” is a poem I wrote in December 2018, when I was hospital, in an ‘Isolation Room’, and the Itmims space craft was my imaginative means of escaping confinement.

      Itmims (Tullawalla, page 60)

      Welcome aboard my bubble ship, Itmims
      Come fly with me into the unknown
      We shall traverse time and space
      Across the borders of level seven
      Beyond the boundaries of intelligence
      We’ll discover the story of Tullawalla
      Capture the heart of a beautiful red-head
      Learn about her journey of grace and bravery
      Understand the depth of your soul
      Show others what happens to the heart
      Find your star, your colour, your lost art
      Walk deserts in space, swim the Milky-way
      Breathe the air I breathe, see what I see
      Feel her soft red hair, on your cheek
      Step inside my Itmims, sharing love on the high seas
