− | Well, you didn't heed the warnings, and here you are about to look at the works of poetry penned by a sentimental swordsman walking Creation like Kain in Kung-Fu, or Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, but mostly like a very sad and lonely paragon of virtue in the Second Age. Most are about women he has loved, who have subsequently died. If you want to live a life full of joy, do not stare at this man's grief.

| |
− | I hardly recognize it
| |
− | This place we used to dwell
| |
− | The echoes of your laughter
| |
− | No longer here will swell
| |
− | As I recall your face
| |
− | And what happened after
| |
− | I wait and look to the east
| |
− | And pray for some sign of dawn
| |
− |
| |
− | I tried to hasten to your aid
| |
− | But the path, it was so long
| |
− | They left no sign, no token
| |
− | All that I found
| |
− | Was word that you were gone
| |
− |
| |
− | So I walk here endlessly
| |
− | But always softly waiting
| |
− | Because I dare not mourn
| |
− | While there is some hope of dawn
| |
− |
| |
− | Always promised I'd see you here
| |
− | Now I've lost you, and so I fear
| |
− | I'll never find you, wherever I go
| |
− | And though I love you still
| |
− | They left me nothing to hold in my arms
| |
− | And though I always will
| |
− | It feels so wrong
| |
− | This waiting here so long
| |
− |
| |
− | A broken-hearted wanderer is all
| |
− | Your passing left of me
| |
− | But shoulders squared up strong
| |
− | I turn and carry on
| |
− | I've waited here too long
| |
− |
| |
− | And so I must abandon you
| |
− | And fight against despairing
| |
− | For I have no time to mourn
| |
− | Though there is no hope of dawn

− | == Haiku ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Since all I can write in the real world seems to be humorous haiku, I have had great difficulty writing any sort of serious poetry. This is as close as I can usually get.

| |
− | What remains of love-
| |
− | This gently fallen cinder
| |
− | Winking in the grass
| |
− |
| |
− | A blossoming dream
| |
− | Plucked in her springtime beauty
| |
− | Awake to winter
