BLOOMING



Zitat
Through plight and sorrow,
We shall see the end,
Beholding a fairer morrow,
Once dispersed ash and sand.

Yester-pain will fade away,
Bidding farewell to the day,
A new dawn to soar,
A new age to love more.

Life, though wounded and weary,
The just route it is to find,
Lightening all that sleeps dreary,
Consoling the suffering mind.

The flower of hope then blooms in tough and hard,
Of earth's evils shall sing the bard,
If a mount rages and roars in hell,
We vow to battle mares and stay well.

MOON RAYS



Zitat
Moon rays, so sweet and tender,
Caressing lakes and worldly wonder,
Fancying much any tiny or slender,
Gazing at the immense above, looking at the forbidden yonder.

Dim radiance of old,
Pale, aye, yet ever-bold,
To pierce and tear through dark,
Leaving a veritably memorable mark.

Moon, once fruit of silver,
Flaming and dancing upon the chariot of your wielder,
Journeying hither and thither,
Voyage which just demons dare bother.

Born to bring good to the forsaken shore,
Illuminating vices and unravelling injustice to the core,
Enemies mankind needed face,
A firm sword to counter grievous mace.

CAST THE DART



Zitat
Cast the dart, Elven prince!
Two arrows, two lethal twins,
May your aim be enough sure,
May your guard keep closed the door.

The gate of woodland halls,
Secured by underneath walls,
Where the king dwells in wait,
Whence he seldom parts for want of great.

Cast a thorn of worthy praise,
So such deeds your gentry amaze,
Wandering through bush and thicket,
Sometimes, wishing hunt for filth and wicked.

It's time you were up to another task,
At wonder's sunset, at marvel's dusk,
New fond allies to aid,
New vicious foes that kill and raid.

WOOD-LORD



Zitat
Slumbering within the heart,
The centre of green,
Where life is set to start,
From mere seed to complex being.

Wood-lord, most ancient of the trees,
Walking past branches and leaves,
Singing jolly and merry,
To his lovely fellows, once small nut or berry.

Recalling woes befallen,
Narrating antique and olden,
Speaking of wars between mages and kings,
Of flaming devils and magic Rings.

The keeper will stay and keep,
So are woods to endure,
The unfortunate course to weep,
Longing for freedom and cure.

BUT A REMEMBRANCE



Zitat
Go, my love, sail towards the sunset,
Safe, as I my fate shall have met,
Do not waste your beauty in the shires of grief,
Do not linger about the mournful reef.

Head to the land where every green is made to shine,
Perpetual hues, at whose sight all dine,
To the Country of Thither,
Nought there might ever wither.

Ere your days get dreary and sink in gloom,
A flower needs only light to bloom,
Defeat's menacing phantoms across any earldom loom,
Part hence, before staying means doom!

Our love shall not perish,
Within bliss shall you keep its memory to cherish,
But a remembrance of mortal adventure, it may seem,
The most precious treasure to hold in one's heart, that I deem.

VIA TIDES



Zitat
Via tides I dare,
To find others that could bear,
The immense weight of water,
Hailing vastness as fond daughter.

She fears not storm,
The bastion of law and norm,
Amidst grand ones that wane,
Struck by weariness or foul bane.

The Land of Gift,
Mariners passing waves,
So firm and swift,
Borne by zephyrs and gales.

Númenor, whom hast thou not enthralled?
Bewildered, by the Island off the known world?
Shall thy legacy outlive disgrace?
Shall folks recall thy elder race?

EPIC ECHOES



Zitat
Epic echoes in forever,
Every time, age and wherever,
Battles, clashes and gore,
Not just glory in the course of lore,
Great cities reduced to dust,
Their lords' marble images now rot and rust,
Eaten, devoured by the past,
Slain by those whom fight they ever must,
Fallen towers, bones of rock,
Dead kings, once fine in figure to mock.

On a stone altar,
He who was not to falter,
Laid there to rest,
Grandest of his kin and best,
The human monarch, from proud to grim,
Used to commanding fear and not mild seem,
Sign of an age bidding salute,
Splendour of yore we shall not refute,
Of regal awe and might,
Of undimmed memory and bright.

THERE AND BACK AGAIN (JEST)



Zitat
Funny, silly jest,
What else, my dear guest?
Oh, thou wouldst hear more,
Ere food is short and thy throat sore.

Well, traveller of faraway ends,
Pardon words, we shall make amends,
For art thou in the green Shire,
Wherein find we not anger and ire.

Thus, hearken to this our tale,
Hidden by secret veil,
Wreathed in time's mist,
Drawn swords and closed fist.

A simple Hobbit partook in a quest,
Passing grave peaks and the murky wood's test,
Defying spiders and Orcs,
Battling witchcraft and black magic's works.

Beside fine fellows of regal kind,
Stubborn, aye, yet never failing mind,
To reclaim a kingdom, buried in wealth and stone,
Cursed by greed, where a cruel dragon ruled lone.

Alas, darling friend,
Not all was right to mend,
A realm conquered anew,
But the king fell and his soul flew.

Buried inside his home,
Entombed under the mount's dome,
Engraved there, to rest unto the breach of the gate,
When victory shall perhaps beseem too late.

Ah, what was of our brave one?
War he survived and just was done,
A new ally he hath found in a mage,
A buoyant grey wizard, immensely wise and sage.

BEHOLD



Zitat
Behold, the curtain of fog fades away,
A sweet breeze carries us safe from death and decay,
May you feel the vessel leave fear and bane?
A straight route towards the western Immaculate Reign.

Seat of splendour and gold,
Beyond measure mighty and old,
Evergreen Fields within such colossal shield,
Before the holy Powers, who the heavy sceptre of regency wield.

FRAGILE FLOWER



Zitat
Fragile tender flower,
So sweet, resenting sour,
But a brief moment on earth,
Albeit fond and very worth.

Facing winter and its cold,
Knowing not whether spring was then to unfold,
Daring grievous and evil,
Often comes real valour from the feeble.

Is it worthy, to abide in the ephemeral and unsure?
It is, for a weak soul yet pure,
One whom illness shall never break,
One whom adversities noble make.

The short living of the mortal man,
Fated to pass, nought he can,
Though greater are the deeds of those who perish,
If love, right and mercy they deeply cherish.

PEAKS OF ETHER



Zitat
Clad in wild ether,
As emerald serpents that swift slither,
Covered and hidden,
Fey heights, fog-ridden.

Home to trick and dread,
Voracious jaws they have fed,
Be it nasty Goblin inside his cave,
Be it fell watcher under the wave.

Dwelling of wealth and might,
Aye, storing fair diamonds of stainless white,
Where dwarf-lords would rule fain,
Ere smitten they were by a real bane.

In truth, another one in the tale,
Whom none wanted to mourn or wail,
The deepest pit he elected as lair,
With the sole company of riddles and the heaviest weight to bear.

A tomb for the defiant guard,
Flooded by horror, the path was then barred,
Until a fellowship broke the silence of the empty hall,
Upon a bridge of doom, whence two angels were thus to fall.

NEEDING HELP AND FRIENDS



Zitat
Where was the vast kingdom of stone?
Where were they, when fiends mauled us to the bone?
The fierce knight was in need of aid,
The White Hand to every land siege had laid.

The lonely rider sought help and friends,
Willing to forgo rivalry and make amends,
Forswearing quarrel and enmity,
Since ever is pardon a fine quality.

The weary king has waited in vain,
Where his throne had thitherto lain,
A homely town of hay and straw,
There sat the crowned and reigned law.

Huts and shacks began to burn,
Maidens and ladies were thence to mourn,
Refuge was found behind walls and gates,
Wearing hard wire and sharpening blades.

Akin men had not answered the plea,
But never were defendants about to flee,
The fort was held and stoutly saved,
For the jolly chant of yeoman and pretty maid.

STRANGE OLD FRIEND



Zitat
"Aye, old mage, I shall rob it!"
A great treasure inside the mount,
Thus uttered the tiny Hobbit.

"Well, my little friend, it's a quest of marvel and snare",
So replied the grey sage,
"Art thou to crave the drake's lair?"

"Much I desire to avail the task",
But wary was the half-man of peril,
"Never have I trodden outer ways at dusk."

"Merry helper of mine",
"More lieth in thee than eyes behold",
"I shall give thee my courage and thou shalt thine."

Peradventure, that was verily such gallant a deed,
Beside folks that in stone fondly dig,
And Bilbo heeded the wizard's word and took a steed.

PROFANED REGAL HOME



Zitat
A place of joy and treasure,
Of happy times and dear leisure,
As the moon fell gently,
As nought of common seemed really ghastly.

The stronghold of the East,
Leaning on the peaks of shadow and beast,
Blessed by the pale gleaming of night,
So alien to angst or fright.

A castle about the vanquished foe,
Near burrowed lairs and ravine low,
Bright, in the after-day,
Glowing lively as sole stars may.

She guarded the passage across dusk,
The twin-city and her daunting task,
Fortifying Gondor's wall and gate,
Ere tragic turned thenceforth fate.

Lastly, the king's reach got thus short,
Wraiths broke defence and claimed dominion on the fort,
Profaning the fair regal home,
Casting horrible spells from its silver dome.

THE GREY SORCERER (CLASSIC SONNET)



Zitat
Buoyant he walks the fond green way,
He's deemed queer wizard and old sage,
Versed in wonder as great mage,
Greeting ever-nice words and good day.

Potent hero in folk's lay,
His heart is castle of no rage,
Drawn to riddle and dusty page,
Traveller of yore, clad in grey.

Never is the sorcerer early or late,
Before ill and peril he shan't cower,
Worst enemy for minion and fiend.

Well-wished his coming in nasty wind,
Hope is finest weapon and grandest power,
When all bodes woe and sorry fate.
