So I have to write a poem for a thing, and I decided I wanted to make it Merlin related. So this happened. It's intentionally vague, since the majority of those who read it won't be familiar with the show, and I wanted to make it readable to everyone. Anyway, part of the reason I'm posting this is to see if I can get any feedback before I turn it in, so please review! Anyway, enjoy!

Edit: I realized I never put a disclaimer in here, so just to be clear, I don't own Merlin.


A king and his protector.

The first, a noble, just man

Wise and honorable.

The second has a secret

A hidden power, unknown by all save one

And it has saved the king, and the kingdom, far more times than he can count

But no one knows.

He is a servant, a shadow, by choice

To protect the king.


Some call it love

What the two share,

But it isn't.

It is a friendship, a brotherhood

The tight bond of destiny.

Tying the two together for all of time

They are two sides of the same coin.


And now, that tie, that bond

Is all the protector has left.

The king is gone

But still, the protector waits

Forever more.

Until the king, his friend and brother, returns

For only then will all be right

And he can take his place as an equal by the king's side.
