Okay, okay, I know your going to say, "What does this girl think she is, a
poet?" Well, no. I know I stink at poetry, but that is what I have been in
the mood to write recently and you should be glad that I'm only posting the
best ones! If, after all that, you are still willing to brave the odds and
read on, please review! I want to know if you think it is really that bad.
Disclaimer: This is supposed to be a poem from Arwen to Aragorn, but both those characters were created by J.R.R. Tolkien and own neither. The words are all my own.
When under heaven's dome thou seeketh for my love, Where wilt thou find it? Do not look to the waters of the sea, For there it shall not be. Seek not in the meadows and the plains, For they search will be in vain. But look around thee. Search thy heart. There shalt thou find my love. For my love surroundeth thee, And protecteth thee.
When battle calls thee far from home and thou seeketh for courage, Where wilt thou find it? Look not to the mountain peaks, For thou shan't find what you seek. Search not in the caverns beneath the earth, For courage does not lie sleeping. But remember my love. Think of me. There shalt thou find courage. For my love surroundeth thee, And protecteth thee.
When darkness finds thee alone and thou seeketh for hope, Where wilt thou find it? Do not search for it in jewels and gold, For the arm of wealth will grasp thee in its hold. Look not to the histories of the past, For in those times men have failed. But treasure my love. Keep it with thee. There shalt thou find hope. For my love surroundeth thee, And protecteth thee.
Many of my reviewers have said that they thought I over did the "-eths" at the end of the words. For those of you who thought that I did, please go to the next chapter in which I have posted a version of the poem where all the "-eths" are completely taken out. Please read both versions if you have time, and tell me which you like better and how I could make improvements! Many thanks, ~*The Lady Shieldmaiden*~
