April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, I am posting one of my poems every day. You can play along too! Or, if you don't write, post a poem that you love. I would love to see my friendslist filled with poetry all through April.

Keeping it simple 'cause I'm tired. This is one about one of my favourite fictional charcaters: Nolofinwe. It's actually one that I've been thinking about reworking, so thoughts are nice.


The Wise Lord

silver stars shining
from your dark blue sky
my silken lord
bright and deadly
dark and proud
fierce and beautiful
your sword burns like glittering ice
reflecting your eyes

memories of making love
between two trees
kissing noble children with faces
carved from ivory
father of kings
and kings and kings
oh majestic
but you never saw

crowned by the ice that tried
to destroy
as did your brother's
apathetic greed
perspicacity
with valor and wisdom at your side
did you succeed
my lord

pride was your final destruction
mated to despair
still
no other could dare
as evil trembled before you in fear
and I in admiration
at the shining stars upon your dented shield
buried with you
