Jacob Wharton Poems

I watch the waves;
Breaking, rolling and crashing
Fighting to wet the sands.
A lifetime of companionship, of equal goals
...

If I could love you
Subtly until the day
Our hearts entwine,
If I could wait
...

The frost
Hung coolly
On the glass,
A dim tint of green-orange
...

The Sun is shining,
The wind is blowing,
The trees are swaying,
And the people are swaying.
...

How slightly the mantiscope glides
Above the walls
And how adept
The pilot!
...

In a meadow
Under the hillside
Lies a lying lifeless man
And his dream is
...

Be wary
Of the merry fairy's
Hairy cherry.
...

Red and blue and green the porous genes
And the scene careens through the dark room
Convex starfields creep through whirl wheeled
Dark planes press them vacuum-sealed
...

Watch the starry night lie
Catch the cold falling stars.
Toss them to the wishing well
Dig them out... toss them in again.
...
