Uriah Hamilton Poems

I kissed you
And I touched your hand;
You were
Too precious to understand.
...

East coast poet,
If you have fallen, you have fallen
From a heavenly place
To bring enlightenment
...

Dripping daisies
From her blue eyes
Of myriad dreams,
She makes me believe
...

You despise a lady friend of mine,
You grow animal-like and wild in your eyes
If I speak her name;
If I suggest I might see her some day
...

Cold rain
On an autumn morning,
I was alone by railroad tracks;
I smiled and wept
...

Unrelenting dark rain
Drenches the downcast heart;
But the days would seem pleasant
And not sorrow-tinged
...

I happen to be a terrible driver.
I’m not purposely aggressive
Nor have I ever expressed road rage.
I just happen to be absent-minded
...

In Pierian garden shrines,
I will place roses in your hair
And we will sing of amorous joy and poetry,
We will drink a subtle wine.
...

The mask of survival is falling off, shivers and shudders,
The blue parade of death is marching,
Cremation celebrations, wives and children
Are cast upon the funeral pyre,
...

When Monica saw me sleeping
One day at dawn upon the wet grass,
She asked me, “Isn’t that a peculiar place to sleep? ”
