Uriah Hamilton Poems

There is an ominous death tone
Ringing louder than a telephone
Set on maximum volume
For the near deaf
...

Love, entangle me
Within passionate seductive arms,
Let me hear the alluring melody
Of bracelets tinkling on feminine wrists,
...

Jack Kerouac wrote somewhere
America is a lonely crocashit.
I scribbled it down
And my ex-wife placed it
...

I live in pallid lifelessness among shadows,
I seek privacy and fear cut-throats,
I try to protect child-like hearts
From disappearing into paranoia-driven
...

Like an ocean gale,
She breathes a new romantic intensity;
To taste her thoughts would be sweeter
Than the wine Dionysus created
...

This poem bleeds dysfunctional desire,
Blood stains through the dirty streets
Mark the paths we trod,
Urban avenues of despair,
...

For you, sweetheart,
I’d become a hit man
Employed at your discretion
If you merely ask,
...

I need you when I’m alone
And my heart is a dark, friendless street
In a cruel, compassionless city;
I need you because hope
...

In the lunch hour alleys of the city,
We ate our Mexican food with the mild sauce,
Not wanting to raise the heat of our conversations;
Our plans were a rock concert at a small venue
...

Inescapable from the forceful arms of dreams,
I fall ecstatically on soft silk sheets,
My heart is pounding wildly
Thinking of her gorgeous body
...
