Author's Note: Yo sup people. Going to try my hand at some poetry. Always thought that Lucius looked legit in the movies so I decided to write about him. So read, hit me up with some reviews, let me know what you think. Enjoy.
Some suffer from delusions of fear and death
To know any moment may be their last breath
However I say that they are utter fools
That bitter life is nothing short of cruel.
xx
From seven celestial orbs and a mortal
My birth came from Heaven down through a portal
These impoverished lands were now come to be blessed
With the second coming of Light incarnate.
xx
Propriety was my Law, Lord and my God
In riches abound in which gold I found fond
The life of a man was not worth Galleon's weight
My thirst for both power and wealth never sate.
xx
So when the Dark One tendered both graciously
I was more than obliged to take his offer
Hardly knowing the outgrowth of that proffer
Much too late now that I know that I suffer.
xx
I saw with my eyes as they forced my own wife
All through the night amid her own cries of fright
While bound and forced to see their lust stain her thighs
Our beloved Dragon could only watch and cry.
xx
For the Prophecy now lay shattered and torn
Slipping from my own fingers treacherously
The same folly which had killed old Isildur
I could only watch helpless and forlorn.
xx
The Dark One's rage knew neither bounds nor restraint
And with my wife now shamed beyond redemption
He saw fit to strike her coldly with green death
I could only watch as she gasped her last breath.
xx
Yet I saw no reprieve as my son was next
The victim of every sick torture and hex
His eyes pleaded me to come to his rescue
I could only weep now knowing it hopeless.
xx
Walls of primeval stone now surround myself
A receptacle for all my wretchedness.
My only companions are the rats no less
Whom my sins and folly I tell and confess.
xx
My thoughts stray to why this has happened to me
I shut my eyes and turn for tears will run free
For in my quest to obtain more than my share
I have lost all those to whom I showed such great care.
xx
I soon raise my head toward the stone ceiling
Obscuring my view of Heavenly glory
My mouth soon moves accord to its own feeling
As I curse all while I recite my story.
xx
As with old Job cursing his great Father
I soon lament and prattle amidst the dark
Eyes widening as I pull my hair out stark
Gibbering and mad I'm not sure if I'm sane.
xx
My whole family executed like cur
Even Nicholas the Second would stir
And rise from the grave to rebuke the Dark One
For forcing another to suffer as he.
xx
I curse the day of my birth, the day that said
"Behold a boy is born!"
For if I knew of my sufferings then instead
I would have chose to not have been born at all.
xx
My nights are filled with dreams that are long and strange
Tonight I was like Elisha that flew up
Towards Heaven's sky where I met Him in stage
My wonder soon grew to anger and I cursed.
xx
"Foul benefactor why must I suffer so?"
He turns to look at me with eyes of wisdom
"Speak to me Son of the fair House of Finrond."
I soon seethe and speak the words out of my tongue.
xx
"I am a ruined man with no family
Both of whom are mutilated and quite dead
Yet here I stand lingering and drawing breath
Why can't I seek death and join them instead?"
xx
"My mind is on the brink of sanity
On the verge of the precipice where it may fall
Tethered by a thin thread I could only call
Yet no one has come so I futilely stall."
xx
"My power has waned I can do naught
Not even protect the ones who I ventured to love
Here I remain on Earth yet I seek to go above
To my family where I have continually sought."
xx
"Cruel Deity have you no shame?
Sitting aloft in thy throne while my son is flayed?
Or perhaps thou has found a penchant for mortals
And ejaculated to my wife's forced display?"
xx
"I curse thee and all thy kind
Like Melko did upon his brothers of old
I have many memories I wish not sown
You have my thanks for they can't be sold."
xx
"I know of my sins and will admit to them
They go as far back to my old ancestor Brutus
But I cannot help for the nature of my rearing
For if I disobeyed I would get nothing but jeering."
xx
"I beg of thee to give me respite.
My life is torn and completely withered
I pace about my cell here and tither
Wondering why I even resolve to fight?"
xx
The old one looks upon me with care and wonder
And I fear my outburst was but a blunder
But he soon smiles and opens his arms
And behind him is my wife and child!
xx
"Rest and be content my son thy time is near at hand.
Your sufferings have been long and hard
But the end is not so far
All I ask is that thou just hold out and withstand."
xx
My wife and child are both safe and content
They both wave as I dash to their side
Weeping yet grinning I could not hide
The total joy at seeing them alive!
xx
I awaken suddenly from my dreams
Not knowing whether it was real or not
All I know is that everything I sought
Is still beyond my reach.
xx
I look to find that I"m back in my cell
For if I saw my family I could never tell
But now I find myself back in cruel reality
I realize that they are not here.
xx
I cannot help but curl and weep
The tears forming in my eyes as they seep
Cruel Fate, Cruel Fate why rue me so?
Why not just kill me and let me go?
xx
My cry still echos into the night
I lay still and out of sight
Only my sobs of sorrow can be heard
Yet of one thing I can be sure.
xx
I am still alone.
Author's Note: Well...poor Lucius is kinda losing it there if you ask me. Anyway hope you all enjoyed it.
