I Missed The Last Ship After Midnight

I Missed The Last Ship After Midnight

A Poem by Adam Latham

The last ship set sail after midnight

I watched as it drifted from view,

Lost dreams silhouetted in moonlight,

Crushed hopes of a life spent with you.


The wind billowed canvas bears westward,

The rudder steers steady and true,

Far o'er the sea ever onward,

How I longed for our sweet rendezvous.


Just a speck on the distant horizon

Carrying heartache from bow to the stern,

I missed the last ship after midnight,

A ship that shall never return.
