Uriah Hamilton Poems

2AM boulevards
Bathe me in lonely headlights.
My soul is broken
Like the crumbling pavement
...

Your sensitive eyes
Could definitely summon me
From across a crowded room,
And I would make my way
...

I want to kiss your arms
On a park bench in the sunlight,
They’d be sweet and warm,
Life would begin to feel right.
...

Drunken mystics
Reveal simple truths
Like the fragility
Of child-like hearts;
...

We have this hour
To light candles
And to open the widows
Invitingly to spring breezes;
...

Your world is fragile glass
Every day breaking like bones
Against the heartless pavement
Of this dingy city where dreams disappear
...

Nothing is more important
Than a woman’s thoughts
Unless it is the mystery
Of her beckoning eyes.
...

Gathering flowers
That grow in sidewalk cracks,
I romantically dream of you.
...

I’m searching the expansive, azure sky
For a woman’s anodyne brown eyes
That escaped from her face
To watch this place,
...

I no longer recognize
The flowers of summer youth
That bloomed in the dawn of my innocence
When love was like sunlight
...
