All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.
Going home
And nothing's quite wrong
But nothing really feels right
Trying to decide which to ignite
Either my head or my heart
A fire is kindling
Caught in between
What I want and what I know
Forever lost in changing my mind
We all just ask for one more night
To be honest I wouldn't change a forever in this bed
Although I know our time is ending
Maybe tonight you can make me change my mind
28
28, and I've seen many lives,
Old soul in the new age; freak
Of what's unknown and refined.

Black suited dress shoed traveler,
Beyond human veil, this life is to
Much, for a shadow of light's
Detail.

This life gives no touch,
For a wandering brain,
It's only the lonesome
Souls who laugh and
Cry in their pain.

Did pills with father,
Watched mother
Drink; seen guard's
In two prisons,
Gang's tattooed ink.

O' so many demons litter the prison
Cells;

Better enjoy life young one
For there's so much you don't know
In great detail.

Things unsaid, hidden to,
Don't let the government lie to
You; for they'll make you their fool.

Thing's won't be easy little lass,
Some things will be hard young
Lad. Life's not made of plastic,
It's more of a paper bag.

It'll rip you and spit you,
Where you don't wanna
Be. But remember God
Still loves you, he's the
Light that you don't
See.

Because the world's darkness,
Is in Satan's hands, as the new
Drug of humanity, the devil sells
Lies in Rich men's hands.

Take off your coat Mrs, please
Sit down sir, don't be scared,
Please don't compare your
Fears in this world.

You know not fear, for the real
Fear is unknown.

What you don't know can hurt you,
Shake you to your bones.

I'll smile to show you God,
For his love is true, inside
Though I'm dying, that's
Right; human like you.

I'll take off my armour,
Set it down.

Musical poet, prophet of what's
Lost, no sound.

Because to many hear, they though
Don't see a thing;

Nor do they listen, not understanding what
One means.

28, and I've been through hell,
29 soon maybe, if God will
See me out.

Though today I'll just keep on
Smiling, giving the creators love,
For many don't know that word
Because they don't know him
Above.

I've just come to teach,
Just passing through.

28 for today, maybe the morrow
An eternal spirit so true.

Who won't cry anymore,
From noone around.

28 years old, giving love to all
Yet none with him to be
Found.

Was listening to a song I love by Bob Dylan called (it's not dark yet) made these words to the rhythm of the beautiful song.
Anyways my words today thanks for your reading....
#28
I'm always forgetting
that what goes up must
Come down.
I thought I had sunk in every depth of all your parts,
It makes me sigh today with a heavy heart.

I felt nothing was left to discover,
I've failed as a friend, failed to uncover,
the untold fears,
and the unshown face
you buried for so long under that mysterious grace

You rottened under the burdening sorrow,
Was my friendship so weak, so hollow?

Was I that undeserving and off put?
Or did you think I didn't have the nerve to accept such heavy truth?

Or did you think I simply wouldn't understand?
Could all my concern be so easily forgotten, so bland?

When all you did was bleed,
You could have burst out,
instead of keeping that fake smile on, there was no need.

Why couldn't you just express it that way?
Like others would
Did you think
Even I would have disregarded you away?

Innumerable times for me you had been there,
Today I couldn't be more lonelier.

**I had always looked upto where you stood
And now I cannot connect to that friend I had
You seem to be the farthest away
Who I knew was different
In your place stands an anonymous identity under that false hood you put.
I am always there for you.
We danced not under a moonlit night
We chose to enjoy the bright daylight
We never exchanged our pretty hearts
We shared a million memories building towers of cards

You laughed when I fell and broke my crown
I didn't feel bad, I knew you cared deep down
You knew all wicked ideas that I ever got
We were best friends, we hugged, we fought

I inspired you, you amazed me
We were meant to write a refined story
You reigned my mind and ruled my gut
We were still only friends and to that we stayed shut

But slowly and steadily
Noiselessly and unknowingly
Something sparked in this little space
Was it me or was it you or was it something I had hidden in my case?

And then one night I thought of you
I suppressed my mind 'It can't be true.'
And I resolved that day
This little secret was to never be served in your tray

'Conceal, don't feel, don't let them in'
I finally knew what that phrase was saying
I couldn't risk our pious friendship
I could never ever be so foolish

And so I grieved from that day on
It was so much better had my silly mind not spoilt our happy song
All I wanted was to not lose
The bond we shared, so I placed the truce

But it didn't happen the way I wanted it to be
Soon you were seeing me lesser in the same breeze
You stayed away so I did too
To me happiness was wherever was the happiness of you

And now when I think of it,
How stupid I was!
I didn't realise that you would have to go someday
You'd have your own life far far away

I regret now not telling you then
Because you'd anyways go, wished you'd gone along with my burden
No, never think I blame you
I had no hopes of us being true

Now, You've forgotten how delightful we were
How our carefree lives made people stare
And I spend my time with the times of us two
For my heart had disappeared that night, it is, was and will always be with you.
