Uriah Hamilton Poems

No one dares dream of beach houses
While walking on these dirty city streets
In the misty sullen rain
Where the children smile despite some new despair
...

A lone flower peaks
Out over the city
From a tenement roof.
She is speechless
...

We’re sauntering slowly
In the exciting evening
Exchanging a mystical kiss
Soft moonlight avenue bliss;
...

A cold day freezes
My desperate thoughts
In a lonely place.
...

I walked alone
In Ann Arbor last night,
But you were
With me again on South Main
...

A man follows an alluring woman
From a bookstore rendezvous
Through twisting streets
Of illicit passion;
...

I am naïve about relationships and kisses,
About the dreams that weave themselves
Around a fragile heart,
And I do not know how to protect
...

I have immense affection for poets,
Those desperate lovers who often lose
All vestiges of sanity in amorous pursuits.
...

Deserted by love
In the summertime,
I walk by the river
And speak to seagulls
...

Woman, you are the one who lingers
In my mind with aching tenderness,
But you are hidden in the distance,
Walking through the business world
...
