#recognize
I want to be the
main character for
a day, just a moment
ember to solar flare
forgotten pierrot, a
mask turned to dust
and I want you to
recognize me.

For me, it's very strange to see familiar people who don't recognize me. I feel like I am in a different dimension where my personality has never existed, and the people there used to know someone who looked like me. When I asked them, "Do you recognize me?" they replied, "Well, your face looks familiar."

mourning the little love lost between us,
the little left of you i know -
the more i know not to trust
a grin that doesn't fit your face
clothes you wouldn't usually wear
you talk a voice which bleeds white noise
i don't know you anymore
i find faults in friendly faces,
i recognize laughter lines into unfamiliar smiles
my sunken eyes with their well worn stares
my broken bones in their cold armchair
struggling to trust in my memory
recollecting conversations held between these
people who'd never remember me

It's true, I usually don't know what to do
What if I'm not around long enough to follow through?
Never know if my way or the highway is the right way
What did that sign say?
Will it be possible to recognize this impending last day
Even if just a day before it's referred to as "Ah shiit, is that today?"
This is foul,
Where do I go and what do I do now?
And just because I know what to do doesn't mean I'll comprehend the how
Who in their right mind could stand here and say they could handle the architecture and atmosphere of so many types of conflicting fear?
Who's the stranger with the black soul looking back at me in the mirror?
I wish it was clearer
But there's never a gene around ever
Take note that not every question has a viable answer
While some answers only raise more questions after filtering through questionable ********** banter
That's why there's a little manic in the laughter
And a wave of panic soon after

What intrigues
The flint
To spark a thought?
Is it sadistic?
Is it sympathetic?
Recognizable,
Understandable,
Plausible?
Do you ever
Know enough?
Lost in search for
The heart
Of the matter
Do you truly believe
In this world
You've created?

i'm sure everyone has loved a song that they've heard somewhere,
but they don't know the name of it
or how to describe what it sounded like
and so you try to replicate it, but it is not the same
and so you try to listen to other music to forget about it,
but it's so stubborn that you don't notice the new notes.
i knew someone who was like one of those songs
oh that was a beautiful experience, he was beautiful, and his voice was like the song i couldn't get out of my head
i remember his face and his voice and him just enough to recognize him but not enough to find him, and
i know enough about him to know that he exists, but not where he does
the thought of him gives me butterflies and excites me, and i want to find him but i can't, i know some but not enough
and the thought that i have lost him forever destroys me every moment of my life
even though i don't know who you are or where you are or how you are, you are real and the way you made me feel is real and i know that you exist somewhere and someday somehow we will meet and i will bask in knowing that i wasn't wrong about your beauty
now i cover my ears because i know
if i do hear anything else
either i'll be consumed with my want for you
or i'll forget you altogether

In the midst of the night
We met and fell apart
We recognize each other and fought
And here we are standing back to back
We are so in love and believing
Like there is no ending
And we have to face the beginning
Of the fights, the sweetness and caressing
Forget about the stars
Left the strokes
Come to the evening
Where 'us' is better than parting
Smile is captivating
When it's genuine
Eyes are amazing
When it shine
You're like peach flower
That blooms in Japan
Your scent is as fragrant as peach
And I am here beside you still fallin'

In a tectonic motion
Mountains have formed
Ridges deepened
In the blink of an eye
In the breadth of a gasp
I recognize myself
Asking why they assume
That we find who we are
Within the singular grasp
Of a mere single soul
For I feed a thousand of them
And they feed themselves alone
Your so-called meditation
Must be taken elsewhere
You must see that it was
Never yours to begin
Watch the rearview mirror
As it enquires the wisdom
I am but a multiple
Left merrily unresolved

The clock ticks away
Watching minutes passing by
Learn how to control your time
Do things that give you joy
Take the time to realize
Realize to understand
Understand to recognize
Recognize to acknowledge
Acknowledge time has moments
Live for those moments

I ask her how do I recognize her beauty?
Do I stare until you see me and then look away?
Do I stare until you see me and never look away?
Your flows and grace catch my eye from far away.
I carefully inspect your curves until your gone.
Should I not look your way? It would be easier for me.
I ask her how should I recognize her beauty.
She says, A simple smile will do.

Every song
Every beat
Every one reminds me of you
But they're never true
The more I think
The more they flood
In raging waters of blue
But I no longer
Come to recognize you

Look at your hand
There is a sparkle of
Enhancing light
started to sprinkle from it.
There is a magical universe
Blazing from your hand.
Say it as magic or illusion.
You are the one who can do
These miraculous things.
Unveil the wonders
Your hand can do.
Recoganize yourself
There is the creater hiding
Within you. The one
Who can make every
Impossible things into possible.
Realize it. You are ruler of
What you want to become.
Believe in you.

were you the one who hadn't recognized,
or
expecting some worse revenge?
I might be
the worst of your worst thought of us.

I think of the day where us exists
I think of the time you recognize me
I think of the ways I can make you happy
I think of the things we can do together
I think all of this everyday
And it makes me sad
"what are we?"

Poetry says a lot about people,
Not just the person who wrote it.
Every person responds in their very own way;
Some so amazed they promote it.
I like to think of what goes through
The minds of those reading what I write.
Whether they recognize nothing of value,
Or whether they discover delight.

You left me in the dark
just for me to know
I was in the shadow too.
After all I'm not surprised
I recognize
you must carry on.
Now that the thunder starts
I might let you know
that you could have done better.
I said things I shouldn't
and didn't say other things
that I should have.
I don't know if I feel relieved
or sad in a way that makes me
go to the heartbreak hotel.

Do you even recognize me
my pale skin
and innocent lips
I have come from so far
still to be me
skin and lips
My eyes still hazel and gold
now different
forced to change
Yet the same

You may know, who I am
I only know, who I’m not
Nothing else matters.

I wander in search of a pseudonym
A name which no one can recognize
I lay on the floor feeling prim
Of all the things I despise
I wish to search for a new individuality
Something new to look forward to
I think that I have lost my quality
And there’s nothing left in me
I am short of syllables to utter
And tired of my reality
So I wander in the search of a pseudonym-
A name which no one can recognize

Use to think about sitting with you down at the bridge,
use to dream about the times where we would kiss and
every breath I took I fell in love with you over and over,
like a sad roller coaster getting ready to fall off the rails.
Trying to forget the past like every human being,
but every human being don't wanna forget,
like That friend that stole all your friends,
that same friend that sat there and told you friends to the end,
what did he do? didn't Recognize you again,
Now lets get something straight,
Didn't your mom ever tell you to worry about you and no one else,
not even your spouse,
This world is so bat-shit insane that everything is corrupt now,
so much bad order in this country they expect you to bow down,
yeah your trust,
is a no no,
licensed gun,
make it so so,
No lives matter obviously,
I don't know,
where to go go,
scared of death,
not scared to face it,
looking for a way out of the matrix,
I could care less about the systems wealth,
save your self.

*Wants to be the old stone bridge
Awaits, sense the rain, sun and sleet
Until the day
You, just once step out
And I recognize your feet
On your way, across me
Then I could wait
more than five thousand years
On this delight*

Do you recognize me?
I remember YOU.
No, we will not SEE each other after death;
we will BE each other after death,
as we also were before life.
You will realize that I am you and you are me;
we are everyone and everything, even now.
We are synchronous... simultaneous... endless...
We are LOVE...ALL of us.
❤

you are so enamoured
with the honey on her lips
you don’t realize that mine
taste just as sweet

We really can't recognize happiness as much as we recognize and name pain or sadness.
It's so easy for us to say that we are sad and lonely yet we can't even bring to admit and say that we are happy.
We can describe and picture pain down to the last detail yet we can't say a single word about bliss.
Why is that?
