PLEDGE
My fair, sweet love, though we are apart
Your love lives on inside my heart
I miss you more than words could say
But I know I will see you again one day
Your love will keep me pure and strong
The sweet melody to a haunting song
Which troubled times will not forget
Even when darkness is a threat
When the bright sun cannot be seen
And mighty trees are no longer green
I will look up to the stars and see
Your eternal love shine down on me
For though I may be far from home
Your love for me means I am not alone
I have nought to fear, nought to dread
Your love is a guide for what lies ahead
And whatever fate awaits me here
I promise you that I will not fear
For nothing can take true love away
And ours shall live 'til the end of days

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yay, I'm finally seeing ROTK tomorrow!!! But onto the poem. It was inspired by Track 8 of the ROTK soundtrack- Twilight and Shadow. A beautiful song for a beautiful love story. I have only ever written one other piece about Aragorn and Arwen's love, and this is the happier of the two. This piece is meant to be a pledge between the two lovers, suitable for either of them to recite, at any time. Please review with your thoughts. Greatly appreciated :)
