Story [LOTR The Two Towers] Balrog - Durin's Bane Poem

Deep in the Halls of Khazad-Dum,
An Ancient Horror Loomed,
Seduction of Doom,
Made Evil Gloom,
A Darkness Loomed,
For Khazad-Dum,
Where Dwarves Once Boomed,
It Is Now Their Tomb…

I Rest Encaged,
For Many An Age,
No Ancient Texts Or Page,
Or Ancient Adage,
Describes My Rage,
None Dare Engage…

For Once of the Maiar,
But Fallen Afar,
For All Stars,
Burns for Far…
Tempted by Power,
Consumed by the Hour,
Goodness Devoured,
The Innocent Cower,
Like A Great Tower,
Grew Our Power….

First with the Dark Lord,
Sown his Discord,
Corruption He Poured,
Malice in the Music He Scored,
The Ainur He Ignored,
Evil He Explored,
Goodness We Deplored…

The Music of the Ainur,
The Themes He Brewed,
Anger Fresh Renewed,
A New Order We Tuned…

For the creation of the World,
Chaos That Swirled,
A Discord We Unfurled,
So that Evil, Reigned Supreme Transworld …

Millenia’s Pass,
Terror’s Mass…
Armies we lead,
Blood that we shed,
Mortals would dread,
Their doom and end,
Of the Orcs, Trolls and Wicked Beings,
For not even the Nazgul Wings,
Could compare… your Darkest Dreams…

Armored in Flames,
We burn your Pain,
With a Sharp Reign,
Fire We Tame,
Hell be our Game,
No Mortal Came,
For They Be Shamed,
For Fight again,
Against the Dark Lord’s Reign…
,
Like a Deadly Pike,
The moment we strike,
Like Flaming Spikes,
All Foes We Smite!

Never More Seven,
No Good Heaven,
Flaming Venom,
Pure Aggression,
Utimmo’s Armmageddon,
Melkor’s Oppression,
The Darkness Obsession...

Destruction we dine,
Slaughter so sublime,
Victory so Fine!
Only Darkness would Shine…

Servants of Fire,
Hosts of Terror,
Death Procurers,
Creators of Horror…

Under the Stars to the Gates of Gondolin,
Lead by none-other,
Than Gothmog our Master,
Ransacked and Slaughtered,
Mercy We Never Bothered…

Fuelled by Melkor’s hate,
The years grow late,
We relished in battle,
Foes fear and rattle,
Trophies we seek,
We slew the weak,
Foes then scatter,
Their cities we shatter,
Encouraged by rage,
None dare engage,
Our Enemies burn,
They never learn,
Only glory they wish the yearn,
Only Doom they earned…

In battle we shatter,
The very Earth’s matter,
For Maiar we once are,
But Maiar no more,
Fire and Shadow,
Malice that Bellows,
Sharp as Steel,
Flames we wield,
Curses we yield,
Doom we field,
Terror our shield …

Only Shadow Our Might
For We Mock The Light,
Alas! Terror’s Delight,
No Mercy, No Respite,
Good’s Plight!
Evil Shall be Right!

Of Wicked Evil Things,
None Other Beings,
Of this Very World,
Of Fury Unfurled,
Would Be Our Equal…

For Only Dragons,
Rivalled Our Actions,
Of Pure Destruction,
Yet Immortality Dragons Lacking,
Whilst we Balrog were always Lasting…

Yet whilst the Dark Lord Fell,
I slept in the Darkest of Hells,
In the Halls of Khazad-Dum,
Centuries would gloom,
Yet I lurk and loomed
Havesting Doom,
Evil again shall Bloom,
My Fury Tuned,
For Khazad-Dum,
Where Dwarves Once Boomed,
All but now a Mortal’s Tomb…

I Rest Encaged,
For Many An Age,
No Ancient Texts Or Page,
Or Ancient Adage,
Describes My Rage,
None Dare Engage…

Alas, Once a Maiar,
But Corrupted Afar,
No Longer a Star,
Power Afar…
Alas, Seduced by Power,
Corrupted by the Hour,
Innocence Devoured,
Foes Shall Cower,
Like A Great Tower,

Grew The Balrog’s Power….

 

Very nice! I love the fire and rage themes; they fit the Balrog so well!

I Rest Encaged,
For Many An Age,

I especially like this bit. Give me chills

 

Hello again! Well - I'm currently writing a Silver Surfer POEM I can guarantee you its gonna be a 'Blast!' and atleast over 2000 words and such ...

 

Oooh, excellent and gripping, encapsulating perfectly the Balrog's menace! And in rhyme! That never ceases to impress!

 

Hello! I happen to have a Silver Surfer Poem I'm working on plus a poem I got on Smaug ... interested?

Though I should tell you the Silver Surfer Poem is easily more than 2000 words long ... if not more than 3000 words long ...
