A/N: The hauntingly beautiful "Lay of Luthien" that Aragorn sings a bit of in FOTR Extended Edition was my inspiration for this little love poem dedicated to Leggy. It's my first try at poetry, so please let me know what you think :)

"Tender Warrior"

O Legolas

Green leaf fair

Starlight gleaming in thy hair

Light as wings your footsteps fell

On moon-kissed grass

Through sunlit dell

Slender bow drawn with fingers lean

Thy eyes piercing as lances keen

Fain would I have those eyes grace

Their starlit radiance upon my face

With arms slender and strong

To uplift me with laughter long

And sweet like the voice of water

Before dawn breaks and stars fade

Would I cherish a moment in this glade

When thy tender lips shall bestow a kiss

How I would swoon in utter bliss...

THE END
