Third poetry post

 asked for a musical Maglor poem and, well I did my best :) I hope you enjoy it.

Faded and Pale

My harp
Is still singing though words has fled
Drowned by blood and by war
My soul is stained
 my brothers’ dead
://And my music is faded and pale ://

My fall
From grace was remorseless and deep
As I marched with a sword in my hand.
Out of the horror
And blood that I spilled
My music sang strongly and true

The waves,
that lulled us to sleep in the bay
Had been fed by innocent blood
We burned our past
As we burnt the ships
And the first of my brothers died.

My harp
Is still singing though words has fled
Drowned by blood and by war
My soul is stained
My brothers dead
://And my music is faded and pale.://

We fought
And we bleed in the years that came
Our souls growing darkened and grim
We never forgot
But carefully hid
All longing of joy and of hope.

The words
Has fled me and left me alone
As I wander these unending shores
My harp is still singing
Of home far away
Of home and redemption and truth

It's always interesting to read what Maglor is thinking when yes, all brothers are dead except him and Maedhros in the end-- I think he wasn't a bad guy-- he was truly tired out by the oath at the end of the First Age and wanted to go to Valinor to deal with Manwe and his fate... I think that might be a reason why he wanted to do some good in taking Elrond and Elros in as well. Truly Maedhros influenced him in stealing the Silmarils from Eonwe at the end but i do see some remorse in him... what interesting characters Tolkien has written about that we can expand upon their thoughts through fanfic and poetry!
Thanks for this too-- very beautiful. :)

Thanks :) I am glad you enjoyed it.

I don't personally think any of them wer bad guys just caught up in events around them and I think Maedhros and Maglor both in their ways wanted it to end after the fall of Sirion. I thinks the fascination I havefor these two in particular is th contradictions in them :)

thanks for reading and thanks for leaving fb!
