Uriah Hamilton Poems

To play guitar
In the summer
As a woman passes by
In a sun dress,
...

So many days have passed
Crisscrossing innumerable
Summers and autumns
Since we’ve met,
...

Beneath the pink horizon of dusk,
Parting words will be spoken
Over my shadowy grave;
Someone I used to love and trust
...

Would it be cruel to myself
If I were to fall in love
If we meet in her room
At two or three in the morning
...

I cry
On a remote mountainside,
Tears impossible to hide
From the mysterious, compassionate
...

When you departed,
You thought I would be devastated,
But it was a great night singing poetry
To empty flower vases that remembered the reflection
...

When I forget to breathe my Jesus mantra,
When the sweet scent of fragrant incense fades,
When the flame from votive candles is quenched;
Everything in my world goes wrong,
...

I pause at daybreak
And utter prayers with sparrows,
I know there will later be
Encounters that require
...

I cannot sleep at midnight
Listening to the summer breeze,
I want to walk with you
Down along the hypnotic river
...

The Loneliness is unrelenting
Like the endless stretch of highway
Leading to the city
Where you reside.
...
