Uriah Hamilton Poems

We’ve been in the rain so long
That our eyes are sore and red;
When joy is missing,
We gaze down too long at our feet
...

I would give up drinking
To be drunk with your perfume
On a summer night
With the sea breeze singing
...

She was weeping when we met
Outside a party store
Where the lonely purchase their wine;
Her boyfriend had left her behind
...

I still find comfort
In the soft caress
Of the moonlight’s
Tender glow
...

Abandoned to sadistic streets,
A school room of sullen tears,
A little girl lost beneath
A blanket of rejection and fears
...

In my mind,
I value the Easter Sunday life:
The resurrection
Of the spring sunrise,
...

Look me up at 2: 00AM
When the last lonely bar has closed
And you’re drunk with sadness
And not with booze;
...

There is a twisting knife
In your disturbed unhappy mind,
Those who don’t understand you,
Tell you to pull it out,
...

In the valley of forbidden dreams,
I see my heart explode
At the feet of a Queen;
My pulse rate increases
...

I’m writing the poetry of fragile souls
Sitting quietly in the broken sunlight
Of hopeful but fleeting romance.
...
