Summary: The wise-man’s observations may yet be founded… here is a corroborating vignette.

Disclaimers: Tolkien is the consummate artist and Middle Earth is his chef d’oeuvre. I hold his work in highest regard and as such would not presume to unlawfully use his literary creations for profit. I am only borrowing from his imagination… for the pleasure of expounding on his already established genius.

Author’s notes: Sequel to “Prophetic Musings”. Accompanying piece to “The Surreptitious Lover”.

Minas Tirith, Year 3011, Third Age

He came to me. In the still of the night, silent as shadow. A tantalizing silhouette, he casually basked in Ithil’s silver glow. I was transfixed.

Then, a pointed glance, a subtle disrobing and he loomed before me –in all his naked glory.

Teach me. I did not pretend to misconstrue his meaning. Long had I yearned for such a bidding.

I would know your touch. He would erase the memories of another’s. And I would help him forget.

Travel-weary, I had hoped for undisturbed sleep. But oft the unbidden guest proves the best company. His bold willingness fuelled my ardour. I endeavoured to not disappoint.

That night, he knew my touch.
