The whole thing is dedicated to my dear wife.
*~*~*~*~*
You are sitting in your favourite armchair, trying to ignore my presence. You are not looking in my direction… you are not talking to me any more, though you used to before… The damned elf came and ruined everything…
Now you are surer that I am not just an illusion caused by madness or illness. And indeed I am a bit more – I am an illusion caused by my own will.
You are scared of me… and I understand perfectly well, why. I was going to explain it all to you sooner or later, but I had to tell everything at once. I had to admit that I am the foulest wight ever… foulest and killed twenty years ago. Perhaps it struck you even more than my reputation. I saw it in your eyes… I even regretted coming to you… regretted that I had chosen you as my collocutor.
You must hate me now… you must be wishing I and Of fangirls and OCsIt was a quiet summer evening in Minas-Tirith, and Helnor was walking along the streets, breathing the warm air and admiring the sunset and its reflections on the white stone of walls and towers... the view was breathtakingly beautiful...
All of a sudden he heard a scream of a dozen voices:
"Ah, look! It's HIM!!! Get him!" and the tramp of many feet...
Helnor looked back - from behind the corner appeared a man, running probably for his life - so desperate was his face. As he ran closer to Helnor, the latter recognized him as... Aragorn, the king of Gondor... But what could make the fearless and proud man retreat in such a way?
The answer came soon, as Aragorn's chasers appeared in sight too. These were several maidens, both elven and human, and one even a hobbit. Some of them were dressed normally, some - in strange garments, bearing the king's portrait on them and a caption below that could mean nothing else but "I love Aragorn!"
"Kind sir, please, help me!" Aragorn panted having reac by Lirulin-yirth
and in poetry we have equal votes for many works

The Unknown OneMy eyes mirror the universe
and evening roses paint my lips
A veil of shadow is my hair
My laughter binds you - and then keeps
Let go!
And drink me with full sips
I am your only faithful one:
the lover of your pains
And when fate rides a chariot
them I'm holding the reins
Listen!
A song beats in your veins
Now lean to my ear, my beloved
and whisper: what has sense?
What has a meaning when you feel
me beside you in dance?
Fight!
Be worthy of my hands!
My kisses are freezingly sweet:
all pain and sorrow you forget
I'm watching every step of thee
until you get where you should get
So don't be sad!
I'm waiting for you

                        Yours truly
                 Halbarad's FarewellThe gathering gloom, the feel of doom
This is an evil door
Darkness ahead, the journey's end
Is not far anymore
The threshold dark from a cold stone,
And my death lies beyond
But I follow, for you must go,
And faith is a strong bond
For noble past I've ridden south
After the sun of noon,
But for the future I will go
Into the sunless gloom
Behind that door no turning back,
And yet I'll cross this line
Towards the burning, bloody field
And hope that is not mine
Be well, my love, kiss our son
For me and for my king
Into your arms I won't return,
But don't let your heart sink
Do not mourn for me, cousin mine,
When my life's blood will flow
I only regret I won't see
The crown upon your brow and Mountaineer's PrayerMountain is a she.
With a veil of clouds she covers her face:
chaste and yet passionate.
Secrets unveiled
just for a moment
just for a blink of eye
she drops the veil and steals your heart:
the white beauty
Blind is this love.
Forwards through stone and snow, do not look back!
Mist in your eyes,
embrace of cold,
and all around
just whirling snow.
And if you come too close, she covers you in
the white darkness
Capricious and moody:
she's a proud goddess that cannot be subdued -
- humble and silent
you must approach,
prepared to pay
if she takes your heart...
...and demands your life as a price in
the white anger
To be one with her,
to stand unchanging in the stream of time:
Eternal, steady...
A timeless moment,
peace in the world's storm.
...If you are ready
to walk the edge of death to reach
the white infinity by MirachRavaia
WordsUnravel hidden memories...
Disentangle your frustration.
Write down you hopes
as an unencumbered song.
Weave the thoughts
Make them flow nicely
notions will fall into place,
by your magical wand.
The sweetest of words,
the harshest of tones
is what makes us unique,
what makes us all Gods. and 65

Young, careless and free
Is what I long to be.
I am sixty-five
fed up of being alive.
Eager for company -
'No, I'm not a loony!'
Trying to persuade my family
As not to abandon me.
Waiting to be fed
Hanging by a thread
Sitting in the same old rooms
As my ilness blooms.
Every night I pray -
What I wouldn't pay!
To get back my faith...
And peacefully die in bed. by metal-steffi
