Not necessarily Trek, maybe more end of the Round Table.
The dream shattered, gone;
the wanderer now a drifter,
burning quest of years
nothing but ashes.

and the woman who waited there,
both lost in forever.

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
