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
...

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

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;
...

No one dares dream of beach houses
While walking on these dirty city streets
In the misty sullen rain
Where the children smile despite some new despair
...

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