Hey ![]() ![]() What is there to mourn? When nothing is lost, How can I grieve it? Shattered particles of dreams fall through my hands like broken glass But when they were never real, How can they be wept over when they were never really mine? How can cuts be tended to, When I never suffered the cause? A shadow cannot bite like a knife And a small thought in the night cannot pierce like an arrow. But I ache even though I've not been bruised The ache comes from within And I cannot attend to it with any healer's cure. He was everything that I ever dreamt of Everything that I ever needed I sought love, but found a shadow instead A man of dreams, he never loved me at all. His heart belonged to the one in fair Imladris Where everything that grows is beautiful and not barren And the touch of the elf-maiden's hand is gentle And not sorrowful. Now what is left? In this land of broken thoughts and women left behind Left to weep while the men ride away to war How can I seek vengeance for those I love When I am left, left alone, left to cry, with nothing but memories of farewells. But I can ride away in a man's disguise With a halfling beside me, my equal in power We both are those cast away, not allowed to go to battle But we are riding away, riding with those who left us. Death And death all around Cries more mournful than songs In the field of Pelennor. A shadow-creature Seeking darkness to cover the earth Threatening doom to him The one to me dearer than a father. No man can kill him, But I am no man I am no man. Wakefulness now After dark dreams and troubled sleep I see a light I see the one who turned me away I see another familiar face, contorted with worry The one who always knew me, the one who always loved me Unlike my healer. I begin to realise He never knew me at all. Now in gardens fair and bright I see a figure of grief and strength I see in him a heart good, and just And when he turns his eyes to me, I see a gaze I can trust. We meet together each day afterward Each day I begin to feel that The man I thought I loved, I do not love. Each minute I spend with this new companion Confirms this to me. Any doubts I formerly had, Are cast away when he takes my hand. His kiss chases away all the worries And all the thoughts that I ever could have loved anyone but him. I'll cross the river And take up a home in the fair woodlands I'll dwell with him for the rest of my days And know no more grief There is no sorrow now for me to face. |

Hey... I have to tell you I usually don't like poetry that does not ryme (I find myself saying this a lot on here) But I liked this piece. Actually in my mind it would make an excelent snipet from a book or something. Nice writing. ![]() |

......That. Is. Beautiful!!! That's my favorite kind of poetry to read, and it describes Eowyn so perfectly. Would you mind if I used some of the lines for my siggy or a banner? ![]() |
