Uriah Hamilton Poems

Don’t let anyone hurt you,
Don’t let anyone disrespect you,
Don’t surrender your dignity
For love or money,
...

I’m not a husband to a good woman,
I’m not a father to precious children,
I’m not attached to anyone or anything,
I can easily, in a moment, cut all strings,
...

Cry at midnight,
Look at the falling snow;
Jesus is a cool baby
Who wants everyone
...

I need a combat-ready girl
Who knows that the world
Is callous and cold,
Waiting to cut you down
...

I will follow you, dark lady,
Through rainy streets
That could never dampen my desire
To be beside you,
...

I’m never prepared
For the spiritual vulnerability of love,
Never prepared for accusations,
Insinuations, jealous imagination
...

When I was a young driver,
Fresh behind the wheel,
I saw a bird fly beneath a driver’s car
Ahead of me.
...

Hours before the dawn,
The soft moonlight seeps
Through an open upstairs window,
A blanket is tossed from the bed,
...

I don’t desire to wear a sad face too long
When I know I live in a world of flowers and birds
And that the evening will usher in a sky of scattered stars,
When I know hopeful prayers and songs
...

Joyously we kiss beneath the felicitous blue sky,
And then inside we follow the sensual aroma from scented candles
Drifting from an amorous room; the delicious taste of summer peaches
And slow musical dances create perfect situations for erotic embraces;
...
