An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Liquid Joy
Hello dear readers, well I’m celebrating my eighteen month anniversary of blogging, with another post originally from June 7th 2017, and I’ve rehashed the poem slightly.
Tears of liquid joy
Like rivers of fear
The memories so clear
And a toast to cheer
Tears of liquid joy
Like waves from the heart
Two great oceans apart
And wishing for another restart
Tears of liquid joy
Like dredged canals of the soul
Leaking from the broken porthole
And needing a free parole
Tears of liquid joy
Like a flowing molten lava
Passing a secret convoy
And singing like the last choirboy
Crying liquid joy
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.

Happy anniversary Ivor. Here’s hoping for a healthier time in the next 18 months!
Good to hear from you Dear Efi. Hope you are well. As you know I’ve been /still in hospital for the last 5 1/2 weeks. They’re still working on me 😉😁🤗xxx
Good morning from me (6:15 AM) and Good afternoon to you, I think it must be around 5:15 PM with you.
Congratulations Ivor . What a beautiful poem.
I’m hoping you have had your tests and also hoping you’ve had a good restful day. Fingers crossed they give you some answers soon. 🙂

YAY!!! Happy Anniversary, Ivor! I’m so glad you started blogging and have continued to blog! 🙂
This poem got me teary-eyed. I can feel the deep emotion in your words.
The photo is stunning! It’s blues are so bright, peaceful and cheery! Like you are!
BLUES don’t have to mean sad or down…blues can be…
Buoyant
Lyrical
Understanding
Earnest
Sincere
