My files indicate that the oldest entry for this poem was in April 2018, but I have a feeling the original might have been written a few years earlier.
Within Us
The oceans wave us goodbye
Sand and sea, one beach
Like the surf’s white crest
Love is within our lonely breasts
The lands push us apart
Alps and plains, one realm
Like a river’s rocky cascade
Love is a turbulent escapade
The sky opens us up
Dawn and dusk, one sun
Like the moons daytime eclipse
Love is a hidden apocalypse
The universe covers us complete
Stars and planets, one creation
Like the distant Milky Way
Love is within us to stay
Ivor Steven (c) April 2018
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 4 years, and writing poems for 20 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.
