Beyond the Sea

by Bjorn

Published November 5, 2006

A little ditty I wrote some time back.

Across the Western Ocean,
Beyond the Misty Seas,
Past Enchanted Isles
And against the Eastward breeze:

You'll come to lamplit quays
In a twilight time,
A harbour in the gloaming;
You'll hear an Elfin rhyme.

Please, Please! I don't want any blood shed on my account! :o

Thank-you Dreamy, yes, he does! Perhaps it can get stale after a while, but his works are just too inspiring. Besides, I'm doing only what Tolkien wished later generations would do, that is to wield art and poetry and music etc. concerning his works. However, as is already known, not all of my poetry revolves around them :wink: I have a new inspiration in my life now... :oops:

I think Tolkein does a lot for your poetry, Bjorn. ^_~ You have a very definite voice and style, which is quite involving.

Thank-you very much Sohini! You are without a doubt my number one fan! (If I may be so bold as to say so). :lol:

a magical and enchanting poem. you can really capture the old-world/ middle-earth charm in you words. and as always, short and sweet! you should reallly come up with a book titled 'an anthology of Short, sweet and magical poems by Bjorn'.

meow!
