ivor or ivor.e hogg Poems

Now is the hour when night takes flight
and dawn breaks into pearly light.
Before the sun has risen high
Now is the hour of mystery.
...

Upon this man I’ve cast my spell.
He is forever bound to me
I know he loves me I can tell.
...

My soul is sick, soon I will die
I seek the comfort of the grave.
...

Because I dare to stand alone
they look at me suspiciously
It is as if they’ve never known
they could act independently.
...

Death conquers all: None can defy
his clarion call all must obey.
He names the time the place the day
the very minute that we die.
...

A spider web bedecked with dew.
The early morning sun shines through.
Creates a tapestry of light.
A work of art in its own right.
...

The mind of man can’t be constrained
by any measure that we know
A fact that cannot be explained.
Your mind is always free to go
...

I know for sure that I know less
than what I used to think I knew.
I find it easy to confess..
...

As yet untouched by passing years.
Her lustrous hair as black as night
the maiden’s smile is a delight.
As yet untouched by passing years.
...

The setting sun as daylight fades,
before the dark of night descends.
Must paint the clouds in pastel shades
almost as if to make amends.
