A House Aflame

Summary:

A short poetic tribute to the House of Fëanor for National Haiku Day.

Work Text:

Extinguished namesake
The last embers of spirit
Now king of ashes

Past seven statues
Sculpture of her husband cracked
Queen of crumbled stone

Flame-haired son of light
Cries out for his last burnt hand
To the fire, he falls

Melody trembles
Sing alone as the waves drown
One last shattered note

He stalks the forest
For the queen’s immortal soul
Vengeance finds him there

A dark heart fights through
The maze of caves and kingdoms
There, dusk engulfs him

Sons of the fathers
Will hate the near resemblance
To the same cursed soul

Betraying kinship
He agreed to burn the sea
He burns with their sins

Gone is the ideal
To die beside his brother
Both halves fall alone

A son of sinners
Promised to redeem their house
The dark throne stole him
