Another poem to add to the collection, hope you guys enjoy it!
Kili:
The clouds around us clear and the warriors all stand,
There it is, before my eyes, the lonely mountain grand,
My uncles years of longing can all be understood,
He pulls me from my seat to stand, and I remove my hood,
My body quivers from the pain, that I am trying to hide,
I would be pleased to tell them if it wasn't for my pride,
And its only now, that I see a watchful pair of eyes,
The Halfling staring oddly has noticed my disguise.
He paces towards me gently and gestures at my thigh,
I go to speak in answer, and cringe at my own lie,
"Its fine I swear, I promise, its but a mere scratch"
But straight onto my cover up, Bilbo does quickly catch,
"You know you can tell me, from the others I'll keep truth"
How am I to trust him though, the hobbit is a sleuth,
And yet he stands beside me, refusing to go away,
"Kili you look sick, and I know you're not ok"
I look into his eyes, it's not a question it's a plea,
And I know that until I tell truth he won't leave me be,
To satisfy his worry, the wound I must reveal,
Away from the black skin, the bandages I peel,
Looking towards the sky, my body moans in protest,
And Bilbo places a firm hand up against my chest
"I knew that you weren't alright, I'll go get the healer"
"Bilbo but you promised that you wouldn't be a squealer!"
The Halfling looks at me then, with a troubled stare,
Its written upon his face, the feeling of despair,
"But Kili" he says worriedly, as if about to burst,
"I have seen great many wounds, but this has to be the worst",
As he expresses his concerns he grips the injured limb
And I must agree, that if its left my chances are fairly grim.
"But what am I to do, we're here, I can't delay them now"
I will remember the oath I took, to Thorin I made a vow.
"He needs to reach the door, by the last light of Durin's day
I cannot slow him down now, we have come all this way"
Bilbo stares towards his feet and takes a deep breath,
"Kili, I cannot let this wound lead you to your death"
It's with these words I meet the eyes of my older brother,
He has a deep and pensive stare similar to mother,
Its grips me then what would happen, if the wound grew worse,
On Fili, my death would be and endless, tormenting curse.
"Fine I will acquire Oin to see too my thigh"
I say as I let out an exasperated sigh,
Bilbo knows he has won as he slinks off to join the others,
A group of scruffy looking Dwarves that have now become his brothers,
Fili comes to join me then and takes up a seat,
Judging by his gaunt eyes, today has him beat,
"I don't really know what to think about the tiring day,
The little trick you pulled earlier, the company can't repay"
He now looks at me worriedly and for a moment I see fear,
Before shifting over closer, so that he can be near,
His heavy arm rests across my shoulder with much weight,
A comforting nature, one of his better traits,
"How's the leg, I can get Oin if you're in pain"
I can tell that on his mind, the arrow wounds a strain.
"I have to be fine, there was a promise that I swore to keep"
I look towards the mountain, its hillsides rising steep.
"Do you think that you can make the climb?" He says anxiously
We both look then towards my leg, that throbs in agony,
I stare at him now, I really want to cry,
The fact that I might have to stay I want to deny,
"You might have to leave me in Lake town with the men"
"Well Kili, these things happen every now and then,
but I think it would be best to see the vast halls all the same,
not straight away that's all, don't worry you'll still receive the fame"
He stares at me now with his mischievous grin,
And I know that Fili is right, the halls of my kin,
Have stood for many ages, and are likely unchanged,
My date of arrival may have to be rearranged,
And it's now that I realise for a moment there was no ache,
Knowing that my brother would wait for my sake,
And I lean into his body, and the warmth I can't believe,
And all of my troubles, his loving grasp does relieve.
