A/N: Hullo! Recently while going through my old notebooks and journals
I stumbled across a great many poems and scraps that I've never published. Seeing as how poetry seems to get little recognition in the fanfiction world, and I do write a lot of it, I've decided to put together a collection of my best works along with some little bits of stories and songs.
This first installment is a slightly long(as is my usual style) monolouge by my favorite hobbit gardener Samwise Gamgee!! It starts out shortly after Frodo and Sam have reached Mordor. Sam has been noticing that Frodo isn't sleeping at night and is falling under the power of the ring.(There's a story that accompanies this. Maybe I'll post it one day....^_^)
As it continues the poem goes into my very favorite scene in the book. Whoever can guess when the scene occurs gets a cookie!!
Reviews and questions are always welcome! Article 2 will be a replay
of the scenes in this poem, but told in Frodo's view. Ditto for Aticle 3,only in Gollum's viewpoint(I love doing Gollum monologues. His way of speaking is just so fun to mimic!!)
More to come!
A Brief Soliloquy
Article one
The Wonderings of Master Samwise
Your breath is loud and raspy
Your eyes are heavy lidded
Your strength is waning day by day
Though I know you won't admit it
Do you see me anymore?
Do you see your faithful Sam?
Sometimes I see scorn in your eyes
When you look at me, I can.
I wonder what it is you see
When you look at me and scowl
Don't you see how much I love you;
That I still do, every mile?
I know its not your doing
Its that awful thing you wear
Its eating you alive inside
Filling you with hate and despair
If I could I'd take it for you
I'd gladly bear the weight
If only I could see you
With your eyes untinged by hate
I know it isn't me you hate
But it hurts me all the same
Still, I'll stay beside you
'Til you're yourself again
Now we're here on the threshold
We've not too far to go
"I wish you'd take a rest, sir.
I'll watch over you, you know."
At last I see you give in
You're my Frodo once again
You seem grateful as you lay down
And your weariness is plain
You're asleep before too long
And I gaze down at your face
For a moment calm takes over me
You're here with me and we're safe
I lay my head upon your head
And I make a silent vow
Even if you forget me
I'll stay with you anyhow
I'll fight against that wretched Ring
As long as you will try
I'll be your strength if you've got none;
I'll be your hope if yours runs dry
That silent promise made to you
I feel a bit relieved
I smile at your sleeping face
For once you are asleep
