A Tenderness I Can’t Explain Poem by Uriah Hamilton

These feelings are intoxicating
With arms entwined
Beneath blue sky ablaze with dreams.

At your mother’s house
In the summertime,
We prayed by the milk tree
Silently and sincerely.

I surrendered to my heart
A long time ago
Concerning your eyes,
I’ve never found a place before
I never wanted to leave.

Yesterday, I dreamt
We were making love on a train;
I woke up on a bus holding the necklace
I bought for you.

I adore your face
Without makeup,
A tenderness I can’t explain.

Let’s have a glass of wine
In the sunlight of your apartment.
