These are good. May I join U all? Here's one about...guess who!
Are You Alone?
Do you walk in the dark all alone?
Do you cry when you're on your own?
Do you wish to talk to someone?
Are you alone?
Do you feel like the only one
and are you weary when the day is done?
Does the weight of the Ring feel like a hundred tons?
Do you feel cold with the setting sun?
Are you alone?
Do you cry at night?
Do you feel like you can't see the light
that there seems to be no end in sight?
Do you know that I am here?
I wish I could hold you near
and calm the everpresent fear
that must nearly bring you to tears.
I don't know how you feel
these are just questions that are real
I would ask you nothing to reveal
but I would only try to help you heal
for all the times I have seen you fight
for the love and goodness that are inside
and the evil of the Ring tries to make you hide
does it come and go like an ebbing tide?
Please don't think I am trying to read your mind
or put words into a situation that you would find
totally wrong and out of place,
I'm only going by the pain I see on your face
as you valliantly try to run this race.
I only wish I could take your hand
and be the shoulder you lean on to stand
as you struggle across the treacherous land
to Unmake that Evil cursed band.
My love is strong and I hope you understand.. .
You're not alone if you will let me take your hand.

And another one...
Frodo's Tortured Dreams
At night alone as the Ringbearer dreams
I can still hear the anguish in his tortured screams.
I wonder what he has seen to fear
what he has had to endure that brought him to tears.
What did he see that caused all of this?
What kind of demons in that black abyss?
A Balrog, a spider and maybe the Eye
are all to blame for his anguished cry.
I can only turn to him as a friend
and outstretch my hand to brind an end
to the dream that makes my heart wrend
to hear the deafening screams
that haunt Frodo's tortured dreams.
I can only stand back and watch him fight
and tremble inside to hide my own fright...
I wish I knew how to give him kind words
that would calm his fears once they were heard
but I know of nothing that could possibly be said
no magic words or spell comes no thought in my head
for the nightmares he has are sadly his own
but I can only pray my feelings for him are known.
I can only hope he knows that I am here
just a friend to help with a nameless fear
and be a shoulder to catch any fallen tears
and be a soft place to fall when the need is near.

One More...
Do You See Me From Afar? (For Frodo after he's gone to the West)
I remember the day you had to leave,
oh Frodo how my heart did greive,
I held onto you with a grip so tight,
unable to hold my tears from your sight
even tho you said I'd be alright.
I remember you holding onto me
as in your arms I trembled violently.
My screams echoed across the sea
they must have sounded horribly
like the cries of a wounded banshee.
You held me in your loving arms
promising I would be safe from harm
untill the day I could come with you there
and pick up the feelings that we shared.
The love in your eyes was shining bright,
tho you kept your tears from my sight.
How you did it I'll never know
but even when you went away I felt my love grow.
You can't possibly know what I feel
and I've never had the words to reveal
this ache in my heart that is still very real.
The feelings are there but they stay hidden from view
only to be shown when I return to you.
You sang to me as the sun was sinking
you must have known what I was thinking,
that next time I saw you would be a long time apart
and the miles between us would weigh on my heart.
So you hung on a bit tighter to my trembling form
and you told me you loved me before sailing home.
My cries echoed out across the land
and my knees were too weak to let me stand,
and that's when I knew you held my heart forever in your hand.
So I wonder if you see me from afar
when you look down from where you are?
Do you know it's me looking up at the stars?
In the night sky with it's velvety blue,
I try to find the star that reminds me of you
your blue eyes shining in my mind
bring me the peace I can't seem to find...
because of the sadness you accidentally left behind.
But when I look up from my place
I always picture your sweetly smiling face
and it gives me strength to run this race
and look forward to the day I feel your loving embrace.

Last one for now...
If I Could Tell You...
If I could tell you just one thing,
I'd tell you of the happiness you bring.
I would tell you I love to hear you sing
soft romantic lullabyes all kinds of pretty things.
If I could tell you what scares me at night,
would it make you run away from me in fright?
Or would you hold me in your arms and make it seem alright?
Would you stay with me and pretect me till I felt the first sunlight?
If I could tell you what you mean to me
would you be afraid to see?
Would it make you think I was completely crazy?
Or would you understand the feelings running inside of me?
When I saw you going off to Mordor with that evil vile Ring
I could only pray you'd hear the song my heart did sing
the screams my mind did shout as you wrestled with that thing
the thing that Gollum so desired which left darkness lingering...
When you came back all safe and sound
I felt such joy as I danced around
but when you went away to the undying land my heart did pound
for I felt like I had lost a friend my heart had newly found.
If I could tell you how hard it was to let you go beyond the sea
would you only shake your head at me?
Or would you take me in your arms so reassuringly
that I could hold onto the love that passed between?
Would you forever remain there never to be seen?
I would tell you that I love you with all my fragile heart
and someday if you come back I hope we never part!

I started a poem for Frodo thered but can't find it , so I'll put my newest one here!! Errrr, wish I could remember what I did put them in!
For Elijah Wood AND Frodo!
Would You Still Be My Friend?
If you could see me in the light
would you run away in fright?
Would you hide your eyes in pain
and never talk to me again?
If you could see me
would you still be my friend?
Would you still want to know me
when you found out all about me?
Would my defects and problems scare you away?
Would you still want to stay?
I don't mean to scare you or give you any grief,
but just to know you're not afraid fills me with relief.
I never meant to scare you with a picture of my face,
I don't want to feel like you'd hold me in disgrace
but I think you're cool if I may tell you so
and I only wanted to let you know...
You and Frodo make me smile
and while you might not understand
I'm just a girl who sees u thru eyes of more than a fan,
I see a friend and I would gladly take your hand
You are my idea of a "good guy", pretector white knight,
tho Frodo holds my heart in his hands tho not too tight...
I hear him sing to me when the day has turned to night,
and you standing guard against the things that give me fright
along with Michael Jackson who has always led the fight
are just outside the realm of my ever-wandering sight...
Frodo holds my heart but you could hold my hand
I hope you will still be my friend and try to understand,
I don't see u thru the eyes of a fan,
I hope I see someone who isn't scared of me
I know you're not a Superhero, it matters not you see,
I just hope someday you'll be a friend to me
and not feel scared or disgusted when you look at me.
You and Frodo are different ppl in my eyes
and some may not understand that,
this is strange to their eyes...
but it should be no suprise...
I hope that you could still be my friend
when the sun has set and the day had come to end...
so this rhyme of friendship I do send
for 2 ppl I hope I can call my friends.

Didn't want to get in trouble for double posting so I did them all at once, I'm sure I'll write more...but maybe we could do a read by and discuss by thread to keep things simple, like on other place. That was a good idea.
