Tonight, In The Dark

My tears are only droplets

Into a sea of grief

 

Despite my cloudy tears

I see, there above

The night sky is clear

Despite my inner gloom

I see, there above

A bright crescent moon

Despite my blinding wonder

I see, there above

She’s cradling a shining star

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.

    1. Thank you Gabriela…. my hearts been deeply touched by this….he was the son (30’s) of dear friend,… part of a group of Carole’s girlfriends, who come around and would take my Carole, for a girls night out, on a regular basis…. to give me a break…… Me and group still meet up for lunch on a regular basis……

      1. It’s posted, Ivor, it follows the reblog of your post–but no pressure for you to read, as I realize you’re going through a rough time.
