Peripheral Blindness

A moment in the fading light, where shadows reveal more than they hide.

Peripheral Blindness

The Twilight Zone cracks
are opening wider —
the dullness is growing darker.

Our blindness shadows
fall sharper,
and we are quickly losing sight
of what once made us smarter.

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.
