Mirahzi, does it rhyme?

I've been trying to come up with a new riddle for a couple of days, but it hasn't been working.

Aargh! What is it with me and long unscheculed absences! I'm sorry.

No one has guessed my riddle. It was:

Shadows feed on only light
after darkness naught can be but bright.
a calling to the lady might
brings joy and happiness in sight.

more nice easy riddles

When small becomes large
When evil becomes great
Many become one

A fountain flows
A lake is formed
In a bed of stone

Elf girl does it have to do with those messages again*(hopeful)*

Hey, I'm not telling that! It's fairly easy, if you think about it.

The corruption of the elves? (from the Sil)

Or the Kinslaying?

Yes, its the kinslaying at Alqualonde.

Two more riddles:

A curse of old
Eventually sated
Those bound to it
were ruefully fated

An uninvited guest
from far away lands
Learning of lore;
of ancient things grand

Isildur's curse upon those that refused his summons against Saruon? That were fated to help Aragorn?

Yay.

Your first: Is it the Oath of Feanor?

Second: Is it Sauron in Numenor? or Boromir in Rivendell? or Gandalf in Gondor?
