Beren& Luthien's Poem Readings

[Lady Elessar]

Welcome all poets and writers of the sort. I have had in my mind the song of beren and luthien to name the poem thread *cough Hall*
So here, in the Realm of Beren and Luthien, everyone is welcome to publish their works.
Note:If you publish the work of another, please write the author's name - Thanx, Eve.

Believe me when I say the world shall end
And only the strong at will shall survive.
When finally there is no more rain to fall,
The sun will shine no more,
And there is no longer night or day,
There will be courage lingering in your heart,
And in your eyes the last remnant of hope,
For only those who believe shall be the forthcoming.

(just a note: It is longer, but the long version that i wrote is in my english binder which is ironically at school)

well well! i shall post away then! as for starters, one of my favorite self written poems about beren and luthien and thingol!!!

The Plead Of Beren

"Not gold nor jewles nor Silmarils
could take the place that your love fills
for, to me your love is more valued than gold
or ancient scroll, or treasure of old.
Not dragons hoard or purest jade
for none of these your love i'd trade.
If starving, i would not eat the feast,
for you, dear love, i'd slay the beast
that parted the dwarves from their precious gold
in caverns deep, and mountians old.
For you i'd travel near and far,
for you i'd fetch a silver star,
for you i'd climb the highest peak
for you the Silmarils i'd seak."
"And Thingol, all i ask of you
is to let me love your daughter true,
to wed with her, to love and care,
to run my fingers through her jet black hair,
to stare into her ageless eyes,
our love no more can we disguise!
And all i ask here and now
is what you wish, and of how
my love for Luthien i can show."

"To Morgoth's land is where you'll go,
a Silmaril you'll bring to me,
and maybe then i'll wed to thee
the fairest daughter of this land,
for a Silmaril, you'll have her hand"

"Fret not my dear Tinuviel,
your father shall get his Silmaril,
for this king has a heart of ice,
to sell his daughter at such a price."

The Choice of The Evenstar

While the morn rised
She never watched
But oft she would watch
the sun's fading
As the cold of the night
Crept across the shores
And in these moments
She felt what she had lost
Of everything that she had missed
So used to the feeling
of feeling nothing
At watching her spirit sink
Because she could never
Fill her only heart's wish

[Halloween]

very good! i really like it. now mine:

Aragorn's Heart

I would have her leave these shores,
on elven ships with silver oars,
and go unto the Undying West,
to live forever with the rest
of her kin, the elven kind,
beauty of body, and beauty of mind.
Though i know its best to send her afar,
i can't not love my Evenstar.
She gave me her pendant, she gave me her heart,
i cannot bear to see her torn apart.
Though my love for her is pure and true,
i would have her go accros that expanse of blue.
But i know my plead would be in vain,
and we would cause Elrond terrible pain.
She'd stay here and be my wife,
and be doomed to live a mortal life.

deep *does that hand-to-the-chest thingy that legolas does in the exteneded two towers when they are leaving rivendell*

[Halloween]

bows head in respect, and thanks

[Lady Elessar]

He cries
He decieves
Nothingmore does he care abuot
Than the lustful power of the ring
He tricks
He lies
All he does is plan for deaths
For all of the rest
of the good on earth
And is loyal only to the One
For only his mind, can never be helped

[Halloween]

ooh! i like this one! 'tis cool! ok, heres the first one i ever wrote!

Sitting in the forest glade
there he saw the elvish maid,
moonlight on her golden hair
never had he seen so fair;
and plucked out from the midnight skies
silver stars shined in her eyes;
and in her silver gown she lay
until she stole his heart away.
and on this stary moonlight night,
he gathered all his hidden might
and called out to the elvish maid;
to stay with his was what he bade
but away she ran into the dawn
leaving him, his princess gone
but he would stay, and stay he did;
in the forest’s green leaves, there he hid
until dusk fell and a full moon rose
in the green forest, where the cool wind blows,
when out of the darkness came her singing song
and it was but short a’for she came along
into the clearing where she had been before,
where she settled on the forest floor.
then she began to sing aloud,
her sweet song echoing round
and her song luled him into a dream world;
when up she jumped, and round she twirled
hopping and gliding through the trees
dancing beautifuly with the greatest of ease;
but then she quickly stopped and turned around,
and disappeared without a sound,
for she had seen him watching from the trees
standing in the cool spring breeze;
it gave her such a sudden fright
that she fled swiftly into the night.
and after that, and for a long time more,
he watched her on the forest floor
where only elves are allowed to go,
in the green forest where the cool winds blow.
but then on one cold night
he was called away to war and fight.
he sailed away and went afar,
to mordor where the shadows are.
But he never left that land,
for he was to fall by Sauron’s hand
in the only place where men should die.
in Mordor, where the shadows lie.

wow...you're really good!

The Promise of the Bearer

it has taken him away
his soul has diminished
night shall never return to day
for the quest is never finished

no longer knowing what lies in his heart
he trusts only what lies before him
and that only draws him apart
as the light within his eyes grows dim

he can feel the cold taking his hands
it is more than he can bear
as he travels across the lands
all he feels is despair

for the ones that he love
have travelled a different path
the path not of the dove
but of the crow's wrath

never again shall he see them
as they once lived before
as he lived in happiness back then
he shall live that time never more

for a promise he did make
that til the day he'd die
he'd spill his heart for other's sakes
and he lives for that by and by

[Halloween]

really good. i like much. and mine:

When silver moon doth rise,
and fill the blackness of the midnight skies,
when fawn and deer lay down to bed,
when spoken word is no more said,
when silence fills the cool green wood,
I stand and wander if I should
go out and ask to hear her song,
her sweet tune I have hear since long
long ago I came
into this forest in loss and shame
for when i first came unto this land
from my home i had been banned.
But sorrow didn't stay for long,
for one night when i heard her song
and saw her dancing through the trees
playng in that warm summer breeze;
and elven maid so soft and fair,
white flowers in her soft brown hair,
in clear white silk was her body laced,
when into my presence her dance had graced,
and when she saw me standing there,
in her green forest, i couldn't help but stare
at the beauty of her elvish form
for her right then my love was born;
and as i gazed into her soft brown eyes
i saw the feeling she couldn't disguise,
the feeling of love we both now share,
with me in rags, her body bare.
with my hand i felt the soft elven skin
of her hand as i drew her in
to my loving embrace, and i held her near
and wispered "I love you" in her elven ear
and to her mouth i brought my lips,
my hands nestled on her perfect hips.
The deepest kiss, so long and true,
until her face turned a bright red hue.
She smiled and then she wisped away,
just with the coming of the golden day.
And every night, from that one on,
i waited in the forest's lawn
for her to come and share a kiss,
to show our love, and our hidden bliss.
And now each night when the moon is bright,
i meet her in that silver light
to kiss and love till dawn once more,
laying on the forest floor.

SAMWISE THE BRAVE

he has given his life to one
and to that one he solely obeys
as he walks under the sun
he follows his master for days
it is his burden to help the bearer
and this job lies heavy in his heart
for at home lies one fairer
that oinly his master could bring apart
but he follows him with high steps
as he trudges through the lands
thinking of only what lies ahead
as he holds his master's hand
and as they pass through briar and bush
and battle, enemies, and mountains
he hopes for all trees of lush
and beautiful silver fountains
full of clear flowing water
and gold scaled fish
the thought always brings him farther
as he dreams and casts a wish
he knows it is hopeless
to ever return to his dream
but he thinks of all the happiness
that lies not within this seam
