I’m swirling and swishing
splashing and crashing
up and down
I’m thrown aground.
I’m rolling on by
swaying under her sky
she calms my rough seas
cruising over me

Rolling On By

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.

Roll on By, is a mixture of the ocean and how Carole’s presence helps me get by when things are rough for me.

We had one stormy, rough day. The very day we had a booking at the a la carte restaurant at the very top. It was so rough my husband had to hang onto the table to stop his chair from sliding across the floor. However, it did not stop us enjoying our meal !

We were lucky, a relatively smooth cruise, only one day was a bit rough.
