Hi readers and followers, today I am re-posting another “Moon”poem, but here in this introspective piece (March 2021), the moon seems to be slipping away from me …
A Slithery Moon
Sunday softy sings
Undone on the wind
For a drowning underling
Tiredness creeps in
Church bells ring
For more silent writings
Numbness drops a teaspoon
Eyes close for the afternoon
Awaiting a slithery moon

I am ‘Moon-struck’ this week, and here is another “Moon” poem, which I originally wrote in May 2018, and today I am posting a new version that I revised this morning ..
Moon Shadows And Celestial Lights
I stood alone
in my second-hand clothes
holding her worn out soul
silently
I placed her ashes
in a brick wall
years of heartache
hidden in a chasm of pain
moments in time
now resting in peace
How does tomorrow become another day?
how does the past live with today?
Her moon shadows shyly tiptoe through my nights
as my hazy dreams glow under her celestial lights
Ivor Steven (c) Revised, October 2021
Today while I was writing this poem a wondrously magical coincidence happened to to me via my Instagram Site… I received an article from a Geelong singer/songwriter, Arjuna, the her new song was up on YouTube, and the title of her brand new single is “Vessel” … and of course I have attach her music/video as my feature song below .. .. and congratulations to “SheIsAjuna” on her fabulous song.
Purple Vessels
Purple is the colour of my dreams
Flowers are the vessels of true love
The fragrant rosemary bush from Tullawalla
Represents the essence of my father’s life
And I visualize my mother’s angels
Floating above the basket of fairy lavenders
My Fragile cyclamen plant
A loving gift from Carole’s favourite carer
The delicate and everlasting drooping violet
Began growing forty-five years ago
Planted by Dad to celebrate our marriage
Annually producing our beautiful wedding flower
A purple shaped vessel of eternal love

Dreams Unseen
I cannot run no more
And I cannot swim the sea
But I can fly
In my sky of dreams
I have stopped climbing trees
And I cannot move mountains
But the highest peaks
Are not in my dreams
I have not embraced the mystery
Of my universe
Nor found my shining star
But I am here today
Floating on my ocean of dreams

A dreamy love poem I wrote in May 2018, which was published by Prolific Pulse Press, in their Anthology Heart Beats, edited by Lisa Tomey.

Downhill Run
I was dreaming
Plotting and scheming
Following you skiing
Running the slope, gliding
Twists and twirls
Loops and hoops
Our hearts were racing
Downhill and dancing
Spirals and swirls
Joyous smiles
Swishing faster and faster
Swooping last to first
Silver and gold
Winners and grinners
Your curls unfurl
Ruby hair unfolds
Beauty I behold
Frozen bliss
We kiss
Soul to soul
