I think this is a fine poem, on its own, the voice being very plaintive and mysterious. But I have trouble hearing it as an Elven Warrior.

The poem is very effective, especially with the description of the local, haunted areas.

This just evokes the scene in the Dead Marshes. Very haunting. But, I have to agree with NB. Sounds more to me like an orc trying to lure one last victim. Very good. Thank you for sharing.

I did enjoy this poem. I agree with the other reviewers that it conjures the Dead Marshes perfectly, from an underwater view rather than an above ground view. I disagree on the Elf vs. Orc part. I think it could very well have been an Elven warrior, looking for a little comfort and company. When you are totally alone, without hope, without being able to see anyone else, but still knowing that someone must be there somewhere, and then suddenly have a bright life-force, encompassed in a warm being, desperation could easily cause a trapped soul to grasp at the chance to know something of the life it lost once more. There was a sense of desperation and an overall tone of loneliness that leads one to believe that the speaker would do anything to ease the torment of it, even if only for a moment. There was a wonderful tone to the whole poem. Great job!
