Uriah Hamilton Poems

Sad salutations,
Funerals that precede death,
Dashed expectations,
Warm moonlight glow
...

Walking at midnight
Fragile in the rain,
I watch the streetlamps sway
And the headlights gleam
...

Lovely friend,
What can I say to you now
That wasn’t said
When we sat together
...

Love is as fragile
As your loneliest friend;

Love is as needful
...

There are days that never make history,
That are never remembered for tantalizing love
On exotic beaches or abandoned farms,
But they’re simple days of prayer-like breaths
...

There is no word spoken
In the drizzling summer rain
Where I stand
Beneath the broken streetlight
...

If your old and weary car breaks down
And can no longer faithfully carry you like a parent
On a dark night on a rain-spattered street;
If your nearest friend has turned ghost-like
...

A blue mystical bride
With a violet hue
On a lilac afternoon
Met me beneath
...

I’ve sat for lunch
On sunny afternoons
With a blond woman
I didn’t become as acquainted with
...
