Unrequited
(Eowyn to Aragorn)
Were I to pen a letter true
And tell my deepest thoughts to you
What would you think, what would you say
Would you rebound and run away?
Were I to sing a song of love
And convince you that 'twas from above
Would you in rapture listen to
And believe the words I sing to you?
Were I to die for true love's sake
Would you from slumber come awake
And love me then like you don't now
If I should die for you somehow?
Were I to die and haunt your dreams
In golden fields by crystal streams
In downy clouds lie down in love
Would that then win for me your love?
For all I've done has come to naught
I've found no hope in what I've sought
You've passed me by like I'm unseen
And kissed me only in my dreams.
And though I've laid my heart out bare
I know for me you do not care
My song's unheard, my words unread
In heartache's hand I make my bed.
Were I to wish now that I die
Would you in pity deem to try
And kiss my lips for pity's sake
I'll dream forever and never wake.

Aragorn's Song
This is what I would say to her:
ReplyDeleteWere I to answer what you ask
And put my love up to the task.
Would you consider loving me
So, to unfold this mystery.
Sorry! I got carried away with the rhythm. I love this poem. It's so heartwarming.
"It is but a shadow and a thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek" was a heartbreaking moment for me.
I know, I'm a softy.
yessssssssssssss
ReplyDeleteWere I to give my life to you
ReplyDeleteWould you forever hold yours true
You see, my life is but a moments thought
One never had, or never sought
But this I promise to be true
I’ll never leave here without you ……… is what I’d say to her.. This just brings it out of me! Still love your poem!
thank you Mr Romantic!!!! haha..This poem is unique, isn't it? not boasting
Deletebut it is special to me in so many ways. I love it when a poem comes out different from my usual style. if I have one. they all seem pretty different but this one is kinda fairytalish magical!!!! smile I need to rewatch all the LOTR movies again. I think they are working on a LOTR series for HBO or one of the channels. That would be awesome. I wish they'd do The Silmarillion. I love that. Of course I have everything Tolkien ever wrote..Do you have Disneyplus? I so love The Mandalorian and Boba Fett. Just awesome!!!!
I was thinking while I was writing last night that I need to sit down and watch the LOTR movies again. How weird is that?
DeleteI dunt have the distance plus shannel, Lucy…. I never see Marmaladean or Wanna Bet!
WHAT are you drinking?????
DeleteTo answer your first question, Miss Voo. Yes, the poem is very unique and should be on display on every poetry group; it’s that good in my opinion! So for sure be proud of it! You deserve recognition for such a heartfelt, heart written writing…..
DeleteAnd the second question, I had just finished having a glass of milk and some honey-graham crackers with peanut butter between two halves of crackers…… they were good. No chocolate chip cookies though.
Did you figure out what I was saying. Distance:Disney, Marmaladean: Mandalorian, Wanna Bet: Boba Fett……….. 🤷🏻♂️
yes, I got it, you nut! haha thank you again
