Surviving Existence After Seeing Her Poem by Uriah Hamilton
Surviving Existence After Seeing Her
Cool cellar wine,
A summer vintage
Of many drunken seasons lovelorn,
I dreamt of kissing her eyes
On midnights scattered now
To oblivion.
Her waist in the moonlight,
She wore a simple dress more majestic
On her frame than a Rembrandt;
I fell victim to the tender ache of desire,
Orgasmic but as soft as a feather.
Jealousy and deprival,
The wearing away of youth
And tragic denial,
If only to weep
One more time beside her
Or study her slender wrists
Again in the sunlight!
A beautifully crafted poem that begins with a lovely metaphor that invites the reader in and captures well the feeling of intoxication. The description of the girl in the second verse is dream-like, the longing palpable and the simple language here only adds to its power. It continues with a wave of intense pain, the 'tragic denial' that subsides and ends on the wistful tone that leaves the reader reminiscing of their own similar experience.
