The Creamy Side of the Moon

After a quiet visit and a long walk back to earth, these words arrived with the evening light.

And for Sadje’s: What do you see #339- 4th May, 2026. I chose this Photo

The Creamy Side of the Moon



Here I stand with my wedding spoon
on the creamy side of the moon

I’ll be home sometime soon
Probably midafternoon

I’ve been visiting her crystal tomb
on the tawny side of the moon

Then, my friendly and sympathetic flock
will guide my spirit back

Later, after I’ve emptied my backpack
and downed a glass of cognac
Frankie will lead me back
along our earthly walking track



For the moments that linger between moonlight and the gathering birds, let this song carry you the rest of the way down to earth.

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.

      2. Sorry I’ve not been over to your site as much as I used to … age is catching up with me, and my self indulgence in writing seems to be using up all my time and energy 📖🥰

    1. Thank you very much, it’s my third one in a row, I suppose that means I’ve written a ‘Trilogy’ , maybe I’ll call it “Landscapes of Remembrance”, Robbie
