From the Silmarillion:

 

Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,

 

for ever blest, since here did lie

 

and here with lissome limbs did run

 

beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,

 

Luthien Tinuviel

 

more fair than mortal tongue can tell.

 

Though all to ruin fell the world

 

and were dissolved and backward hurled

 

unmade into the old abyss,

 

yet were its making good, for this-

 

the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea-

 

that Luthien for a time should be.

Something I wrote for one of my many abandoned novels:

 

princess of Cœur

aboard her ship departed

to cross the bright stars.

 

seeking, in endless night,

her friend, the fair chevalier,

a woman, heart unfettered,

imprisoned in the deep.

 

Étoile, night has come

the prince, beautiful in his palace,

a man, heart fettered

prays on her journey.

 

the princess of Cœur returns,

the people, all will praise her

“Never again will I leave”

 

prayer of the prince unheard,

“My Heart sings of solitude”

there are no eyes in his smile

[Arter Wood]

This belongs in the thread.

 

 

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me

As plurdled gabbleblotchits

On a lurgid bee

That mordiously hath bitled out

Its earted jurtles

Into a rancid festering [drowned out by moaning and screaming]

Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts

And living glupules frart and slipulate

Like jowling meated liverslime

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes

And hooptiously drangle me

With crinkly bindlewurdles,

Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my

blurglecruncheon

See if I don't.

*heavy breathing* A thread where I can fangirl over poetry?!

 

So, as i've said before, Thesis, Heian and such japanese. Mostly, becuse I have an unhealthy obsession with the Kokin Wakashu and stuff.

Color of the flower

Has already faded away,

While in idle thoughts

 

My life passes vainly by,

As I watch the long rains fall.[/align]
