Never Shall I See The Place by LadyBrooke
Fanwork Notes
Random elf probably stood up and recited this in front of the Valar, assembled elves of Valinor, and whoever else would be shocked by it. I feel like writing this poem to begin with would be a giant f you to the Valar. :P
Written for Poetry Month, in addition to A Woman's Sceptre. My prompt for A Woman's Sceptre was “A nomad I will remain for life, in love with distant and uncharted places.” ~ Isabelle Eberhardt, which was the perfect prompt for me. :D

Never shall I see the place,
Where Enel woke and Enelyë roamed,
Where Elves dwelt free,
And doom was death not Valinor.
Never shall I see the place,
Where Denethor walked,
And became a King,
Only to be slain.
Never shall I see the place,
Where Lenwë turned from his path,
Nor where he settled with his people,
On the shores of the Anduin.
Never shall I see the place,
Where Elu dwelt in a thousand caves,
And Lúthien sang to nightingales,
In the shadows of the trees.
Never shall I see the place,
Where my ancestors lived and died,
Never shall I see the place,
Where I would choose to live,
But instead live here,
In a land I cannot leave.
