Beside the Sea
by Talisha Hibdon

Author note: This is a romantic poem I wrote thinking of Frodo as he waits for Sam to join him in the Undying Lands. It can stand on it's own though. It can also be seen as coming from Sam's point of view. This poem is wholly and completely MINE! MWAHAHAHA! Although the inspiration comes from J.R.R Tolkien's wonderful work The Lord of the Rings. It's slashy if you imagine Frodo or Sam saying it, and if that offends you, well too bad. Also, I takes this away and add it to the longer slashy fic I'm planning on writing, so review it while you can. I welcome all reviews.

I settle beside the Sea and think
Of all the things I'd seen
Of wondrous caves in mountains tall
Of woods so evergreen.

I think of field, of hill, and river.
I think of moonlit skies.
But not one wonder I'd seen could try
To match your perfect eyes.

I long much to see your smile, your walk,
Your voice sweet like a psalm.
I dream of smiles and a friendly touch,
Your palm against my palm.

I think of times we'd spent together,
Of many meals we shared,
Of late nights spent singing by the fire
That showed me that you cared.

I recall times of love filled silence,
Of walks through golden trees,
Of tranquil talks in field or on hill,
And tears shed by the sea.

I settle beside the Sea and think
Of you so far away,
And how much I long to hold, and kiss,
And love you every day.
