My second fic, constructive criticism is very welcome :)

My attempt at a poem :)


Shadows pass across the land

They are coming

In hundreds

Thousands even.

.

We shall not run

We shall not hide

We are of

The Durin line.

.

As they ride fourth

The mutilated enemy

The warped weapons they hold

In their scaly hands.

.

Battle-cries and pained yells

As you stand by my side

We fight as always

Together.

.

And fall we may

On the enemy's spear

I shall not cry

If I die by your side.

.

One by one

The enemy is repelled

But all victories

Come at a cost.

.

I hear your shriek

Watch you fall

And I stumble forward

To be by your side.

.

A pain in my chest

As your breathing slows

And I realise that I too

Am bleeding out.

.

Brown eyes meet blue

Pale hands grasp

What little of each other

We have left.

.

"Men lananubukhs menu, nadad"

You whisper

"Men lananubukhs menu, nadadith"

I reply.

.

"Goodnight, nadadith"

I whisper

Even though

His soul has gone.

.

"Goodnight".
