Silmarils, a shining three

[Frattimonde]

(Dedicated to JRR Tolkiens' Silmarillon, not entirely correct though.)

Silmarils, a shining three
Silmarils three, so shining art thee
Brightest light of life
Held in my hands, gleaming at its maker
Surpassing all other works

No maia or elf could craft with a skill as mine
I Feänor, spirit of fire, greatest of gem makers
Yet fearful am I, for prying eyes desire what is mine

A dreadful shadow
Monstrous and terrible
Comes at my door
He fills me with lies, trying to take what is mine
None of the three shall he have

But took them he did, in my absence
He put them on his Iron Crown
Making an abomination of what was mine
Oh Silmarils three, come back to me
No warmth can be found without thee
I grew wrathful, gathered my sons to me

Rode unto my end for these three
But none of them did I receive
A tear falls from my eyes
It falls, burning as the three

I doomed my sons
All for the jewels' sake
Regret do I, he whom is Feänor
The father of the silmarils
Spirit of fire

May I be sung by Ardas fires
For ages to come and eons to pass
Eru save me

Who is Silmarillon? That lack of knowledge is making this writing unclear for me.

ah, ok. Ive never even heard of it.

Who is Silmarillon? That lack of knowledge is making this writing unclear for me. Sry, Silmarrilon is the first book by JRR Tolkien published after his death.

Yeah... have read it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silmarillion) so many loooong ago that almost forgot about it's story. ;) It wasn't bad if recalled it right, although quite a massive read.

Anyway... good poem, Fratt'. :) Even if it somewhat looks oddly familiar...

[Modred]

That was a good read. I don't believe I ever actually finished the Silmarillion, but I read enough to understand the poem.

[Frattimonde]

That was a good read. I don't believe I ever actually finished the Silmarillion, but I read enough to understand the poem. Well the book can be a bit confusing. But it is certainly worth reading it all, the pre-mysteries to lotr ^^ and Morgoth ownz.

Sry, I'm just a bit obessesed with that character. Wonder why its quite often the dark lord you get drawn to in a story?

It sure was worth reading, yeah. :)

Aka Sauron? ;)
The schemes he plots just to get his hands on the jewels is awesome (long before they were converted into rings), that I agree. But I've read that book around 5 years ago (give or take a few), so some tiny details may have slipped my mind.

[Frattimonde]

Aka Sauron?. Sauron is a maja, and not Morgoth. So Sauron is really the servant trying to finish what his master started.

:concern: I was under the impression that he was the same as Morgoth but just was handed out some power restraints after all the crap he pulled up. *Meh* Guess that I was wrong, afterall.

Nah. Sauron is more or less on the same species as Gandalf and Saruman, I think just a more powerful specimen, partially because of the powers Morgoth gave him...I think.

Jupp, far as I remember he was given grand power by Mortgoth. Even the ability to shapeshift as the Valar could, which Morgoth himself however had lost. His most known form was the dreadful werewolf.

No...rhyming. Rhyming...bad...

Frattimonde, i like your work alot. But there are some things to know.

it's Maia, not Maja. The Maia are lesser beings of the Valar. You can say they worked for the Valar and lived among them.
Another thing is that Sauron(Gorthaur in origin), the abhorred, is a necromancer which was how he can shapeshift into a wolf, etc.

Nice anyways.

It's ok, Frattimonde. You deserve some reputation. :)
