Image for the poem Temptation

Temptation's Hold (co-written with Ken)

In all my long years in this world, I have experienced plenty
My beauty, wisdom and power have been the envy…
Of many individuals, including my uncle
Who would have done anything to see me crumble.


In my youth, I was very prideful
Refusing the Valar’s invitation to return home was rather spiteful,
Of me, but I have grown with age
And I have learned not so succumb to rage.


Yet even I was vulnerable to the One Ring’s temptation
A both vile and marvelous out of Sauron’s creations
The young halfling had offered it to me
How easy it would have been to take it; I would command it better than he.


Everlasting power is what you seek even though you may not know it
Your allegiance is pure against any greed but deep down your eyes still show it

In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen
Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning!
And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night!
All shall cower under my vicious might.


Give in to me and release the demons within and take the rein
Of this heartless world corroded with sin darkness misery and pain

My pure fëa repelled the evil
Enough to grasp onto the memories of my people
I have passed this difficult test
I shall diminish and sail to the West."

You’ve stayed strong against me
Even though I know you think of me now and then
Keep resisting my fate ever brave
Galadriel
But We’ll most certainly meet again!!

Author's Note
Another LOTR poem, because Ken and I are such geeks. This time, we've combined our parts together, so I've differentiated mine in italic font. Enjoy!
