Realm of Reality, Rhyme and Dream

By Ian Lovell

This book of poems I have written spans over various stages of my life. I think of each as a different thought process. From Nature through to politics ( Even though i don’t really consider myself a political person). But i still find it a vehicle for thought and thought release, within a positive and negative realm that surrounds us everyday.

Ian Lovell

I was born on the 4th June 1973 in Leicester, England. I started to write at quite an early age, stories poems etc. I like to lose myself into other places, I could create. At a later stage in my life I got into songwriting with bands and then solo. Have released two solo albums ( independently), ‘Open road’ and ‘Don’t let go’ along with a single recorded in London, ‘Walk beneath the moon.’ I find poetry and songwriting a similar process and a joy to do.

Book preview

Burn the candle

Burn the candle at both end

For the late hour spent playing  

The early morning must ascend  

From the weary bed onto the street

Bleary eyed vision for not enough sleep

Try to see it through without struggle or pain

For when the night comes we do it again

To burn the candle at both end

Drink nights away  

Early hangover mornings come again

Before the onset of winter, Autumn poem

Kicking leaves, that fall from trees  

While walking under the grey blanket sky

    Passing through woodland

              Of red gold and Green

  Autumnal colours  

     Reach out to be seen  

     While strolling muddy paths

         And puddle strewn grounds

  Animals that forage make gathering sounds

      Before the onset of winter

        And the last leaf falls  

  Migrating birds gather  

    For the long journey calls

After the rain

Colours fill the sky

In an arc form after the rain

Dark clouds had gathered  

To come down on us again

But such a glorious aftermath

Makes it all worthwhile  

So frowning when the rain came

But ended with a smile

Tears from the Great Spirit

To the sound of the drum  

    They Dance in
