Isildur's Heir

He seemed to be
just a Ranger of the North
     The folk around Bree
knew him as Strider
    But there were some things
the crowd at "The Prancing Pony"
    were not aware of
This "Ranger" was descended
    from a long line of kings
He was Isildur's heir
     A glorious lineage!
When the hobbits saw himin 
They knew not his true identity
       They feared him - Sam was ready 
to fight for his master's life
 Aragorn won their trust
   Due to his protection
they made it to Rivendell
    Where Aragorn's love awaited
Arwen Evenstar and Aragorn
    were desperately in love
Arwen knew she faced the doom of Mandos
   if she wed Aragorn
Yet she was willing to give up eternity
   for the true king of men

wow! Matt, how many of your newest poems have I missed. about your poem: I love it, is this poem referring to the book of Lord Of the rings... I believe so, and a true beauty and heart she has.. I too would give it up eternity, to be with the man I love... elf or no elf.. nothing should keep 2 worlds apart.. loving this one especially today. wish I could write about the creative tale... a new favorite poem... hope you enjoy my newest post... love.. LINDA

Nicely done, Matt. Would look great inside a book about hobbits! I will have to check out that name you gave me. It's an online magazine?
