The Hallway to our destiny leads to just one door. To get there we strived together. We the unfortunate..... Darkness spoke,shadows creeped The shadows which none calleth forth to see. Ablaze, when we came to the doom, Ablaze went he,.......... the master of shadows has risen!!!!...... We fought to reached the destined doorway. But no! he was to quick.Compelled to stop, we glared, dared not move. Then the wise one stepped forward.We beheld the fire of sacrifice in his eyes.I tried to stop him but no,no answer.He with his courage stood and fought.But he was weak, I saw it hidden in those eyes.I could bear no longer, caught him by the arm, brought him back. Now it was the wise one's turn to stop me, but neither did I answer nor turned back. Drew my sword and stood before the master of shadows.His vision showed the deep evil in him.I fought,HOW?..I knew not.My strength grew in me, but so did his... Then, the unthinkable, we feel amidst one another in to the great pit of death.But,I too grasped my sword, held it,pierced him, my enemy, through his heart.We fell and he separated to another way and I was left alone.Then, at last my relief and my pain both got hold of me when my head touched the cold floor..... My eyes slowly dimmed,never to wink, snow fell on me. There I lay for times unknown,but it passed, mankind flourished and so did many other..... Now, I have risen again from my deep slumber, my weary nights of non-existence and am before you, just to realise that he too..........has risen!!!!........
Let me take a guess, Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad-dum facing the Balrog? Tolkien would have been proud of you for translating his prose into poetry. It's nicely done and I quite liked it, but to one who has not read LOTR, this may seem a trifle tight. Though of course it's not as Tolkien has written and quite originally yours....Next time I want to read a poem on a more relatable topic.
ya, its different from lotr, rev... the idea is somewhat similar, but there's also the originality towards the end... "he too has risen" is nice... but the dots don't fit.
