Paddy Scott Hogg Poems

O Annie, come hold me
Come boldly and swiftly
Force like the wind
Unbroken and sweet.
...

Rise! Caledonia, land where eagles fly
High where the snowy mountains touch the sky
Gliding o’er forest spreading green, so free
Down, where the glen and river meet the sea.
...

Gather aroon the ingle nuek
For ae eerie tale I'll tell -
...

Keep your sunny-side up and a painted smile
Skip down the road dressed in style
You’ve gotta keep face and hide the blues
When it falls apart and you’re so confused
...

Images of you fill every sense
Overwhelming passions pulse
I feel your presence
Your touch; our bodies, entwined
...

The fires of Spring brought you my child
My heart was yours when you first smiled
To see you and hold you in my arms
I was spellbound within your charms:
...

Wee, slender, slippery get
That arrow, pointer, cursor met!
Across the screen I’ll run ye yet
Tae foul command
...

The poet’s role is to rebuild
The soul of man
From broken fragments fallen
In an age when inhumanity’s confusion reigns
...

And how I love to kiss your lips
Not your lips on view
Those succulent lips I know
The sweeter taste of you.
...

‘In the cause of Right engaged
Wrongs injurious to redress
Honour’s war we strongly waged
But the Heaven’s GAVE Success! ’
