DISCLAIMER: no, I don't own any of Peter Jackson or Tolkien's works. isn't
that sort of the point of fanfiction? Rated PG-13 (or PG, I forgot) for
mild gore. for god's sake, what more do you want? .Flames will be tolerated
as long as they have a point, not just "you suck, needer needer". Suggested
improvements very welcome. Man, this disclaimer is longer than the poem.
Forever seared into shock-widened eyes:
Inevitable doom for one so fair
Amidst the reek of carnage now he lies,
His battered frame proud prey to Death's dark glare
---
A counter-army great, a host of light
A dike of frightened men all damned to fall
When fell and fair die side by side tonight
A solitary elf heeds battle's call
---
His blood-dark cloak askew from frigid rain
Halfsplintered lightning veils his clarion gaze
Two grey imploring shadows: orbs of pain
Depart forsaken lands for golden days
---
As hope is ravaged harsh by morbid vice
Then let us consecrate his sacrifice
