The air I breath
Purifying within
free to leave
free as the wind
…….
I wonder at nature’s freshness
early in the morning
we take her for granted
our perennial mother earth
nurturing a new start to every day
I wish our mankind could
begin afresh like her
…….
Searches are many
answers unfound
mirrors our insanity
until eyes hear sound
…….
They may steal my words
with their poison pens
but they’ll never be able
to copy my heart
nor retrieve my soul
……
Time is on my side of the door
a knock, a chat, wine and more

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.

Boy is there a lot of truth to that! I can SO identify with that… You so often touch on an eternal truth for me, Ivor. I love your writing.

You are getting more and more comments and compliments, my friend. You are becoming a fixture in many minds. Mine too. Every day I think about writing poetry but every day I continue to edit my novel, content to one day just print it out on the ol’ copy machine and hand out copies.

I write so many comments, and some were in the form of little poems as you know. And now when I write a reply/comment/stanza, that’s worth keeping, I store it in my Note-book file, So I can refer back to them. Before they would be lost on my bloggers/readers sites.
