Note: I am posting this for a friend. She wrote this poem for me a while back because I have a "Killing Legolas" fetish that still goes on to this very day. I edited some of it though… because she can't spell worth beans… even though she is worth her salt! hugs buddy

In the Pale Moonlight

By "My Friend"

He lies dying in the grass
And there's nothing I can do
Blood flows in the leaves
As I hear the branches scream in the trees

"You can't have him!" I yell
For one of the Fair Elven Folk he was,
Prince Legolas they called him
And I prayed to save his soul

My prayers, they fail
And he passes his last breath
His body grows cold as I hold him
His beautiful blond hair is covered with mud

And my clothing as well is covered in his blood

I see a ghostly form beside me
And I turn to see him as fair as he was in life
A pale light shimmers off him as he tells me
To remember him well

For I will join him one day

And at that he dances away
To join the other spirits of the fallen Elves
Haldir welcomes him
And they all fade from sight

Off into the night

And everything is quiet

In the pale moon light
