The latest dream I ever dreamt

Read The latest dream I ever dreamt

You rode into my life when I least expected it

Your hair was the colour of the dawn beyond the mountain range

And fire burned in your eyes like the forges of Aulë

I had faced war and destruction but did not yet know

That also love can shake your foundations

They say you seduced me like you were seduced yourself

But we both know that those tales are distorted

When you wrapped the scarlet scarf around our wrists

I gave myself to you and you bound yourself to my fate

Do I regret it? I only know this:

When you rode into my life and keenly bent over me

The hand that was holding the reins slipped

And for a moment, at least, I made you lose your balance

This is all around lovely!

I particularly like the lines:

When you wrapped the scarlet scarf around our wrists

I gave myself to you and you bound yourself to my fate

The scarlet scarf binding them together is such a vivid image of the seriousness of their relationship.

And:

The hand that was holding the reins slipped

And for a moment, at least, I made you lose your balance

It was real on Sauron's side, even if only for a moment.
