Ilúvatar's Poetry

[Ilúvatar]

SAM'S BURDEN

Looking across mountain and vale
Oh how I long to be home
Grass and gardens, green and fresh
To eye my sweetheart once again

Pledged my honour and my life
To protect and safely guard
My master and my friend
And ease him with his heavy load

Long the days, even longer nights
Friendship and loyalty guide me on
And if by chance we see it through
Homeward bound - at last some rest.

FRODO'S BURDEN

I sit on the hard rock
All about me is cold and dreary
I stare up at the pale grey sky
Wiping sleep from my eyes
Remembering better days,
Of laughter and green fields.

Now I look on ahead
All I see is dismall and bleak
Shadows and darkness fill my path
Each step is sluggish and painful
A heavy burden weighs me down
Away from home and towards doom
To the fire I must walk

Bowing my head between my knees
I try to think of a way to escape
Begging to have it taken from me
I see my home a fresh
Friends and family gathered together
And am once again encouraged
Nay, inspired to move onward.

To succeed or fail, still I must try
My fate or is it destiny.

ARAGORN'S DESTINY

Travelling many miles, Riding through many lands
No place to call my own; no where to lay my head
My boots are caked with years of dust and grime
More trials are awaiting me upon the lonely road

I leave all behind waiting to come into my own
Tempted beyond measure by many a soul and mind
Remaining ever loyal to the cause and looking forward
Kingship, majesty, love, and adoration all await me.

DEDICATION

Vowed to follow him into the greatest of horrors
Into the depths of the deepest unknown
Never to leave his side or turn away
Through it all and in battles will defend

Vowed to protect and serve his master
Breaking his own heart and snapping his will.
Encouraging, coaxing, with all his powers
Helping and carrying him through all circumstances.

[Galadriel]

That was so beautiful.

[Ilúvatar]

Thanks Galadriel. Which one did you like the best?

I'm in the process of writing another poem and will be posting it soon.

[Ilúvatar]

THE SILMARILLI

Two trees with glorious light
Their brilliance held captive
Encased in crystalline unbreakable
Artistic beauty - thrice the sight.

Endowed with heart and soul
Perfection personified
Hallwoed and blessed
Desired, lusted, and stole

Vows and oaths, kinstrife and war
Hidden and hunted with greed, in pride
Treasure worthy of the grief
Sung in countless lays and lore.

Deeds of bravery - foolish and great
Intense sadness; great despair
Passionate love; everlasting hope
Wrapped, entwined, bound in fate.

One light soaring - evening and morn
Another sunken in the depths of the sea
The last burning in the fires of the earth
In the end - reunited - reborn.

I liked all of them.
But my fave was Aragorns Destiny.

MY MIDDLE-EARTH VISIT

As I travelled through Middle-earth
Overflowing with such mirth
For the food you see
Was stuffed into me
And greatly enhanced my girth.
