Why Do We Write? (a Quote)


“The world caresses our eyes 
every day until we die. 
We write to arouse idle minds 
and soothe hearts with our soulful finds” … Ivor Steven, Oct 2023.





Ivor …
a Leonard Cohen song for the occasion

@ivors20

If there is something
I could do
I would do anything
To save you
Mother Nature, you are everything
I look up to
My words are nothing
Compared to you
You are the orchestrator of things
With a balcony view

Lines to Nowhere 

As my drapes fell apart 
I saw a setting eclipse 
And I decided to walk 
To the south side of the moon 


Carrying my plastic spoon 
There, a giant vanilla cheesecake 
Rolled over the crusty moonscape 
On a giant crumbly base 
Topped with blueberries and cream 
Laying here in bed, life is but a dream 

The evening skyline begins to drool 
Am I, a full moon’s fool? 
I will meet you at the old school 
Down by the empty pool 
This time we will not be ridiculed
