Boromir by Laiquendi_eire
Boromir
I hear its call
It haunts my sleep
“Take me now
I am yours to keep.”
“Take me to Gondor.”
It whispers once more
These taunts in my mind
I try to ignore.
But the pull of its power
Is clouding my mind
The choice I must make
Has my heart in a bind.
Do I submit and obey
And take what’s not mine ?
Will my soul become dark
Should I commit such a crime ?
But it promises power
For the land of my kin
To save the White City
And my people within.
My soul shall be forfeit
The price will be paid
As I follow young Frodo
My decision is made.

Ooooh!!! I like it! Plus it rhymes. Power to rhyming poems! Now I’m off to read some more of your wonderful fanfics!

Lovely! In this case, I think the simplicity of it is a good thing. Oh, and, the last stanza there is VERY nice. Concludes the inward struggle with a frightening answer. Yay!
