vainly i stand before you
waiting for an utterance
any word of understanding
but these are days of famine
the huneysuckle flow of verse
and kindness has abandoned
no word can repair this ruin
too late, too late to wait
my memory of you will fade
yours of me will never be
and thus is another chapter
of broken dreams and lost love
by: john trainer
It hovers here, a moon opaque,
obscuring mountain trails I take.
No other living things appear.
A moon opaqueIt hovers here.
I follow on along a ledge;
below a swirling river’s edge.
In front of me, the canyon’s yawn.
Along a ledge, I follow on.
I see no hue when fog congeals.
Oh, doom of one who no more feels!
The moon has fled, as so have you.
When fog congeals, I see no hue.
Now all is dim; it matters not.
My dear one’s heart I have not got.
No use in living without him.
It matters notNow all is dim.
At peace I’ll be if I should fall
to murky water from this wall.
Oh, yawning canyon, swallow me.
If I should fall, at peace I’ll be
