When I’m The Happiest Man Alive Poem by Uriah Hamilton

When I’m The Happiest Man Alive

Rating: 5.0


I always find myself laughing
In the hour of marvelous confusion
Walking somewhere in the sunlight
With no real destination
Celebrating my beautiful disorientation.

Excitement fills my heart
With everyone woman I see
With her divine hair kissing her shoulders
And her long skirt
Flirting with her ankles.

I’m thankful for the windows of my eyes
Ceaselessly falling in love
With some elegant stranger
Whom I’d make love to right in the street
If she had the willingness and the time
And if a cop wouldn’t arrest us!

I’m prepared for every judgment,
Sentence me to this delirious insanity! !
Gazing into sidewalk windows
Of fashionable women’s shoe boutiques
And fainting at the sight
Of lovely sandaled feet! !

There are decadent sweet days
When I’m the happiest man alive,
I may throw away my long face
And smile for eternity! !

what an optimistic outlook, Uriah. the first stanza is immaculate and the strongest i feel in the piece. it set the tone for the rest and really captured the waking moment beautifully. mighty fine work here. Jake
