A/N: Although technically these poems were written in an IC sense (RolePlayers will know what I mean. Dunno how to explain it to the rest of you, sorry. When I figure it out, I'll let ya know!), they are inspired by Mr. Tolkien's work (since the game is based on his book)
My Love
I left my heart in Brithombar
Across the mountains to the sea so far
In Lover's hands it does lay
I shant return for many a day
The stars above shine so bright
As I gaze at them this night
I wonder truly if you are
Looking upon yonder star?
Mayhap our minds shall meet this way
And frolic through the clouds till day
My fea wanders through the sky
In hopes of seeing you fly by
When the morning sun awakes
So too your love, my breath it takes.
Love's Lament
Fair Elf maiden in sweet Valinor
Across the hill you look no more
For your Love left in sweet repose
To the halls of the Great Mandos
Sweetest prayer upon thine lips
As you gently sail 'pon broken ships
O'er Pelóri and across the sea
To join his soul with that of thee
The Halls of Awaiting your destination
Your Love and Thee await salvation
Upon The Shore
Upon our shore I sit and gaze
Out across the shimmering waves
Hoping to glimpse your beauty so true
And an answer for why you flew
I see a ship come to the port
And wonder what's aboard this sort
The riggin's taught and the crew is tired
I sit and think of what's transpired
Haggard, dignified they disembark
To the town they head 'ere dark
Bringing goods to trade for life
And the occasional gift for wife
Upon their faces I see naught of you
I ask and they say you left so true
In Elgarest you chose to stay
Returning home when you may
Puzzled I sit and softly cry
Yonder stars shine in thine eye
I think of why you left me here
In your heart you held me dear
Many things I wonder at
Especially of how long I've sat
Waiting to here your voice ring out
A touch on my shoulder makes me shout
Turning 'round to see you now
A slight crease upon my brow
Smiling now I hold you tight
A special wonder you are tonight
I knew you'd come back, yes I did
I knew that home here you'd still live
Never would you leave, alas,
Brithombar here in Falas
What O'er The Ocean I See?
What o'er the Ocean I see
But the light of a Silver Tree
Glowing hitherto our shore
Lighting our way to that in store
Dear Vala 'pon yonder hill
Roaming through your halls, so still
As Silver Tree doth cease to grow
Manwë, Lord, you sure must know
That ally strong you have in Falas
To smite all evil until the last
We love our dearest Middle-Earth
Ilúvatar come near our hearth
Hearken songs we've sung of old
And entreat us secrets still untold
With knowledge in our hearts held fast
We'll defend our dearest Land O'Falas.
Doriath
The finest whisper of water's voice
Shall sooth my soul. I make a choice.
To remain in custody of the sea,
So that some day it shall return you to me
Although forest green is a sight to see,
And Melian fair I beheld sweetly,
I found true friends within the wood
And a newer level of maidhood
Upon my eyes I saw fairest sight,
Which indeed took all my might,
To comprehend and assimilate,
In my sould I felt vibrate,
The truest power in fair Ea
Seaside Love
Co-written by Lormiril
The wind may blow to thither shore
And never return forevermore
But Spirit strong shall return so true
To pass through heart and leave a clue
That verdant fields upon yonder shore,
Can not part them evermore.
As the wind above them flew,
Bringing back me to you.
Across the sea of spraying spume,
As glimpsed behind the wave-tossed brume,
Of that beautiful shore of Ulmo's delight,
Mixing sea and shore like candlelight,
Tossed upon the salty sea,
That together their hearts would ever be.
Love's Sovereignty
Deep within Love's sovereignty
A life of wonders do I foresee.
Endless days of happiness
Painted against Life's canvas.
And words that sparkle oh so true,
Words that say how I love you.
Deep within my heart and soul
My Love you live, and make me whole.
Nargothrond
Stone walls around me, where'er I look
As from some dream or picture book
Strong and loving, we dwell inside
None can find us where we hide
Kindred bold and kindred true
Side by side we stand anew
In Nargothrond, our hearts held fast
Feanor, Doriath and Falas.
Upholding peace, though evil reigns
Together we shall break the chains
With mankind on our side
The Edain will ever ride
To Nargothrond, our hearts held fast
Feanor, Doriath and Falas.
Blaithin's Song
Upon the shallow waters
Within the hallowed sea
My heart it swims forever
Looking for that of thee.
Upon the sandy bottom
Within the Ocean's heart
My soul it lives forever
Never to depart
I stand forever on the shore
I try to reconcile
The wind-tossed sea and salty air
To tame the watery isle
The isle to my island
Where your soul it sails
To join me in my exile
So that Love prevails.
