What is hers,
Is not mine
So all I do
Is make a rhyme
A/N: This poem is dedicated to my lovely Darlene, or Banshee Queen. She loves LOTR and i thought i should make this poem in honour of my Elven Queen...
All That I Fear
xxx
My life is a battle,
A constant raging war
I have seen this world
I know each mountain
I have studied every culture, every lore
xxx
I have seen evil
That others dare not
I have battled demons
Not of this world
I have seen places that others forgot
xxx
Yet my life is nothing
I have no future, no past
I have no deeds to be proud of,
To claim as my own
For my rightful title, has long been cast
xxx
A king, they claim
Was what I was born to be
A King of Gondor
Of the White City
The crown has passed to me
xxx
But I cannot take it
I am no King
The same blood runs in my veins
The blood of a coward
The coward corrupted by the Ring
xxx
She whispers my name
It rings in my head
She tells me I am wrong
I am no coward
But my faith in myself is long dead
xxx
Then I see it
The blade that was broken
It shines in my eyes
It relights my courage
It whispers words unspoken
xxx
I take it in my hand
The destroyer of the Dark Lord
The blade has been remade
Its power returned
And now I behold my ancestor's sword
xxx
With it, I confront the evil of this world
With my kinsman at my side
I lead and I charge
With elf and dwarf
We confront the undead, in the dreaded mountainside
xxx
'I am Isildur's heir'
'I command thee to fight!'
'Make good on you oath'
'You made long ago'
'And come with me this night.'
xxx
With my friends at my side
And the sword in my hand
I lead the undead
Whose honour is gone
To destroy the evil gripping this land
xxx
We fight and we win
The Dark Ruler is gone
No more evil
No more darkness
We shall have peace anon
xxx
The hobbits stand before me
My brothers andkinsmen are near
I stand in the White City
The City of Gondor
I am about to do what I most fear
xxx
The White Wizard
My friend through it all
He raises the crown
The thing I have dreaded
On my head let it fall
xxx
I stand before my people
I stand as their lord
They call out my name
They rejoice for me
They rejoice as I hold up my sword
xxx
All that I feared
Has now come to pass
Everything I did not want
Everything I ran from
Is now here at last
xxx
I am the King
I became what I was born to be
I became what I hated
What I dreaded
I finally became me...
