Adam Latham Poems

O gentle night, lend me your grace,
The hour is late and I must rest,
Give up my mortal earthly place
And take the unknown journey west.
...

Be not amused,
My dear old shoes
Have given up their sole.
I cannot say
...

Dance fairy, fairy bright,
What a truly happy sight,
Let those tiny feet away
To a place of fun and play.
...

Inside the Rainbow Forest
Where unicorns are born,
And fairy dust floats on the air
From sundown until dawn,
...

The steady peal of church bells
Rang out without a care,
Borne on a biting east wind
With snowflakes in the air.
...

King Neptune sat upon his saline throne
And cried out loud to all the sea drenched sway,
'More sport, more sport' he yelled unto his own,
'That I might ease the boredom brought this day.
...

One man I seek with perfect symmetry,
One man whose sword is greater than my own,
Who can with just one stroke give unto me
A fear for life that I have never known.
...

The subtle shimmers of the candlelight
Reveal the hidden shadows of the night,
And beckons forward faces from the past,
A long lost love, the first but not the last.
...

She kissed me ever so tenderly
Upon the lips then said to me,
Last night before I went to sleep
I thought I heard the Angels weep.
...

Rest now that sweet delightful head
Upon the bosom of your bed,
Shut tight those eyes and drift away
On dreams of unreality.
...
