do you have a friend
that’s bound in a cocoon
living on egg-shells
broken by sickly X-ray beams
their life’s virtual hell
and for whom you want to scream
unconditionally you’ve given your love
now they’re tired
waiting
for help from above

Hi, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm a retired, part-time 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 18 months, and writing poems for nearly 18 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.

Thank you Shefali, I’m not sure who the would are for, they were in my dreams last night, and the first 4 lines are basically the words from my subconscious I jot down at 2.30am 🤔

If only I could have such rich literary subconscious….
This was definitely a wonder for a piece and perhaps I am one such a friend to my friends….

Thank you ❤️ Shefali, I wonder at my own thoughts in my sleep, and I’ve developed this little knack of jotting them down while half asleep/half awake

I really think we should have an off switch built under our arms (with a safety cover of course!)

While I was reading this, one of my closest friends came to mind. It’s odd, since I never thought of it that way before…
