Jonathan Platt Poems

Books create
the wise man,
they educate
the sage;
...

The moon, like a boat of light,
Dreams of journey - to explore;
For all around in the sea of night,
Stars are islands with shinning shores.
...

The eloquence each line imparts
(For every word was placed with care) ,
Harmonized by the impassioned heart,
Overflows with unbridled flair...
...

A dream begins dark and silent
In a realm untouched by light,
Like a chamber without a window,
Like a star- and moonless night.
...

The creature 'Love' - a curious thing,
So high it soars, though has no wings.
And beauteous to all who view,
Yet has no form and has no hue...
...

High above the moon-splashed earth,
In Twilight's sky,
Stars shine throughout.
And their lights reach into realms
...

While the waves softly thundered,
And the darkening sky revealed its wonder,
My thoughts grew feathers and took flight.
But I was weary and the hour was late,
...
