"recognizes" poems
Broken recognizes broken. Two broken souls will find each other, and hang on for life. If broken recognizes broken and I am alone, am I really broken or, have I just not found someone as broken as me yet?

Broken Recognizes Broken
Quote#1- Seventy-five years. That's how much time you get if you're lucky. Seventy-five years. Seventy-five Winters. Seventy-five Springtimes. Seventy-five Summers. And Seventy-five Autumns. When you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? Don't waste them. Get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now. Right Now. This very second. And I'm not saying, drop everything and let the world come to a grinding halt. I'm saying that you could become a seeker. You could be loving more. You could be taking some chances. You could be living more. You could be spending more time with your family. You could be getting in touch with the part of you that lives instead of fears; the part of you that loves instead of hates; the part of you that recognizes the humanity in all of us. And I tell you, That's where you're fortunate.. Quote #2- Your good is Better and your better is Blessed!...

Holy man movie ( quotes by eddie murphy playing character named G)
Watching the colour drain out of someone’s face, like ice cubes melting shades out of your coffee. Branches falling off your favourite tree, foreshadowing its winter death, but you pretend you don’t know. Watching someone you love fall over the same step each time, like they see a ghost every time they turn left, so they keep turning left, And they scream “Why is it always going wrong?” Watching your brother beat himself black and blue, like the kids used to do at school, And now all he recognizes is his beaten back and bleeding knuckles, but he is so much more than the pain he holds in his hands. I’ve been watching you break bridges with your voice since I was a child. I’ve been watching you use fists to communicate since I was a child. I’ve been watching you self-medicate since I was a child. I learned from the best, don’t you see? Watching you love a woman made me angry, maybe I knew all along she’d only leave a knife in your back, after you stabbed her in the front. At least she saw you coming right? Watching you break down made me fall apart, maybe I was hoping I’d become strong, but watching you suffer felt like being suffocated. Yet you were the only one suffocating. Watching you not exist in my life the way you used to took a part of me away. It’ll never be the same again. Do you remember all the days we spent doing nothing, but doing nothing together? I felt so alive. I’m watching myself search for you in everyone I meet, just to get some pieces of you back. I’m watching myself run away from the person you are, but I’ve been stuck in quicksand since you left. I’m watching myself drown as I realize how quickly life changes, and how quickly it ends.

I have been going to the track for so long that all the employees know me, and now with winter here it's dark before the last race. as I walk to the parking lot the valet recognizes my slouching gait and before I reach him my car is waiting for me, lights on, engine warm. the other patrons (still waiting) ask, "who the hell is that guy?" I slip the valet a tip, the size depending upon the luck of the day (and my luck has been amazingly good lately) and I then am in the machine and out on the street as the horses break from the gate. I drive east down Century Blvd. turning on the radio to get the result of that last race. at first the announcer is concerned only with bad weather and poor freeway conditions. we are old friends: I have listened to his voice for decades but, of course, the time will finally come when neither one of us will need to clip our toenails or heed the complaints of our women any longer. meanwhile, there is a certain rhythm to the essentials that now need attending to. I light my cigarette check the dashboard adjust the seat and weave between a Volks and a Fiat. as flecks of rain spatter the windshield I decide not to die just yet: this good life just smells too sweet.

The soil recognizes the vibration of your soft soul and soft soles when you walk around the garden's edge. Grounds from every corner of the world hasten to be underneath your feet. Twenty dignified, upright, and humble footsteps from the lilies to carnations and much of the earth is covered.

The Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation: Elizabeth greets Mary: ‘Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!’ Mary travels miles to see her best friend, and cousin, Elizabeth who was also with child to share with her this great news! When Mary gets to her cousin’s house the two women great each other and Elizabeth’s baby leaps inside her womb in response to being in the presence of the Lord Jesus. Elizabeth is very happy and says to Mary “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” Elizabeth recognizes that Mary is truly blessed to conceive Jesus while still a ****** by the working of the Holy Spirit. Mary also recognizes she is truly blessed to bear the Christ child inside of her. She alone was chosen among women to house the savior and redeemer of the world. What amazing gifts God has given Mary! We pray to God May we, like Mary be blessed. Help us to receive you all the time and, like Elizabeth and her baby, may we give all praise and glory to you now and forever. May we leap for joy whenever we are near to you. Help us also to feel your presence daily. Amen

Meditations and Reflections on the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary (The Joyful Mysteries)
the amount of melanin in my skin often seems to conjure up some controversy so when I sit down to write and I see my hands, my light skinned not quite black but surely not white hands I think about the privileges thrusted upon me and when I begin to write I feel my hair against my back, my curly ***** but not quite ***** hair I wonder how what's on my head could make what's in it so frazzled I often frustrate myself because I feel like my writing often centers around the fact that I am a woman and I am colored and the fact that when I say I'm colored some look lost in fact, in the film, for colored girls Thandie Newton's character says "being alive and being a woman is all I got, but being colored is a metaphysical dilemma I haven't conquered yet." and I found it frightening how relatable that was to me, being that I'm not quite almost a woman and not quite almost colored but when I look at my poems they reflect that I indeed am even though I'm lightskinned and I'm 16 and according to my white friends I'm, just like them because, as I've discovered our definitions of what a black girl sounds like and acts like and is like are extremely different and I guess that reflects on who we've been introduced to I have cousins and aunts and grandmothers and sisters who represent what I believe emulate what a black woman is and these white kids see what the media feeds about how black women walk and talk and act and lack see when I picture a black woman I see beautiful smooth chocolate skin full lips round ******* wide hips and a smile as brilliant as her mind when these kids picture a black woman they see ***** hair dark undesirable skin soup cooler lips and a mind filled with ignorance and this is where my struggle begins But in every ethnic group there is good and bad and I am sick of black women only being associated with the bad the fact that when most non blacks think of what a black woman is, they imagine an unintelligible mindless sassy loud mouth is over whelming to me if you're skin isn't light enough or your behind isn't big enough you're only "pretty for a black girl" I not only want to raise but destroy all expectations society gives black women but I cannot do this alone because we are smart and we are beautiful we are troubled and we are strong and we are one once we stop tearing eachother down we can all be one and I'm not sure why god blessed black women with so much beauty or why I'm so blessed to be one or why he put this determination in me but I think I will recognize it the day the world recognizes how beautiful are we.

Value someone who values you not like silver and gold, Value someone who values you in fact ten times fold. Value someone who values your smile, Value someone who in difficult times makes smiling worthwhile. Value someone who has always been there through the thick and the thin, Value someone who has held you through late nights and gin. Value someone who may irritate you till you pull your hair out, Value someone who would knockout anyone else who tried to in a single bout. Value someone who catches your every precious tear drop, Value someone who does everything in and out of the book to make those stop. Value someone who assures you that not all is lost, Value someone who inspires you at no cost. Value someone who protects you from every scratch and rake, Value someone who spends the worlds time with you putting everything else at stake. Value someone who holds you when nothing is right, Value someone who's always there all your worries to fight. Value someone who stands up for you in every situation, Value someone who never gives up on you and goes for a vacation. Value someone who does not care what the world says about you, Value someone who recognizes the real inner you and believes you are unique in your very own way too. Value someone with whom you may have the biggest of a fight, Value someone who still incessantly stands two steps behind you and for you with a smile whether day or night. Value someone who values you for what you are, Value someone who continues to value you every minute and every hour, whether you are close or whether you are far...

and then i am left, at the upmarket stretch of sand straddling this most unremarkable state, quietly flicking my thumb against the blue lighter. but it's too windy, at the water's edge in an unremarkable state, where no one recognizes me, that bagpipes start playing the wind acts against my fingers, they are too delicate, too feminine, no callousness ever affixed to these, my ten silken extremities.

Namaste The divine in me recognizes the divine in you the part of me that ashes her handrolled cigarette all down her top on accident who wears someone else's black rimmed plastic glasses they're the wrong perscription but there's no reason the world shoudn't appear a little blurry hearts are farther away than they may seem behind the thin layer of skin and tissue the fragile birdcage frames that protect them If I were a zombie I'd eat hearts instead of brains that way I'd know what it was to taste love I've had enough of people's thoughts and opinions I wanna taste the ache for a change and ingest the chambers that held all your exs and family your friends the divine in me eats the divine in you

Unconditional love: 1. noun; when you willingly pay the consequences for the actions of the one you love at the expense of your very existence without even knowing if he understands or can appreciate just how much those consequences have cost you; (I wonder if you can get a second mortgage on your soul?) also, 2. when you're able to smile at him even as you watch him take the left-over pieces of memories from your garage-sale of a life and put them in another woman's home, while the time that was supposed to be your final treasured moments and/or memories together, melts away like yesterday's makeup oozes down my clammy face on an unusually humid Palm Springs summer morning. And, even though you knew this was coming, and you tried and tried to warn him, you just smile and wonder in which bloated bag of odd but familiar, priceless knick-knacks your heart ended up in and hope he recognizes it if he ever accidentally runs across it. (Today I learned the definition of unconditional love.)

The Definition of Unconditional Love
Classroom Discussion Raucous noise vibrates across The surface of my ear Not daring to enter and disrupt The train of thought That processes as a machine Turning, creating, assembling The wheel of thought spinning round the axle -------A **** on the rope, a pull on the subconscious The pulley recognizes the intrusion of an applied force The wheels halt, as if rust jeopardizes its advance. The thoughts scatter, a snapped electrical wire snaking in shock; a cooper waving current racing back to a reality through black rubber nerves. The noise registers, confirming the split of a once continuous wire Insignificant words- not quite processing, failing to relay information, refusing to form a sentence, still trapped in a realm of limbo wanting to return to the rhythm of a reverie. Slipping, falling the mind surrenders, the electricity dies. Materializing in a classroom The cage for intellectual minds Discussing about. From one world to another - act, adapt The bright scientific lights burn The eyes of the dreamer Who creates from the dark, Objects exposed, judged, determined. No place for the dreamer, who loves warping reality. Within the metal box this reality is set. Bars on the window, an indestructible verticality Plastic seats, beige, blue, cold Sit this way, look up, right, like that. You are my animals now speak, raise a hand, perform a trick, tell me what I want to hear, Speak my language of intelligence, be my machine.

Hoyden Perched in a tree high aloft her mystic mountain a hoyden sits wrenching daisies from her hair She cackles as they cascade down to earth Fluttering in a last attempt to fly The last recognizes defeat, alighting on the forest floor She bursts from her throne crashing atop the petals she’s discarded Whooping, she stands, brushes off her dirt covered skirt Some day, I will be free

Im done. with life, the world, people who are fake as can be, Im done with me, myself.and I. Done with the tension to do something right for once in my life. The only thing right to do is go ahead and **** myself. Everyone will be happier. They won't have to see my miserable face,or the unhappy looks,they won't have to say hey just to make me feel like someone actually recognizes me when no one really does. Im done with the pity looks i get from people who don't even know what pity is. Thats okay there virgins to the world only knowing the good,only faces the good.no bad in their lives thats good,okay,great for them but,one day they’ll wake up see whats really out there. Flesh being torn apart,screaming,crying,bloody tears. then they’ll want to die step in front of a train that's passing by. Its okay they’ll learn and then want to die but,if you stay a ****** to the world with no pity,no cries,no screaming,no one dies. my world is much different always will be you might not be a ****** to the world but compared to me you are and you're lucky. Because i’m dead never have been alive..always dead,never gonna be alive.

Holiness is what I long for Holiness Is what my heart Cries out for In the night My heart My soul Wants to be Whole Completely Connected But the world Has a way Of dragging Me back Dragging me down Down to the world To the muck And the mire But even among The troubles And the trials There is still beauty Even in the storms Life is holy Every life Carries that holy flame That fire that flows Every thing is holy Every thing comes From God Every thing That makes us Every thing Thats inside of us Comes from God All life is holy In some way Every thing breathes The secret of God In every second In every action God is there Sharing his love And holiness To every one And every thing That recognizes him And accepts the healing Love Mercy Holiness That comes From accepting The holiness Inside yourself And every one

Sitting in a wintry land and writing this to you. I did hesitated after win, but there aren’t no winning, you recognizes that far better than me. I pause after the word win, each time when I write about winter, or anything that start with the word, win! I take a deep breath and then try to finish it with the rest of the letters. After all trying is everything, so says lots of them. It's true for me too especially when adding a try to win you and to survive in this wintry weather!

New York drowns in the California-made blue The child of the voodoo kisses the sky Her indigo ligaments are laid bare While she falls, chasing smoking rabbits She is small yet she soars With her proportions falling on deaf heads She remembers the knights of the dawn Tangled in her gallivanting hair Without knowing her doors She noses her way through her window The modest parachute travels With the nomadic East She recognizes heaven by taste Knowing that she believes less and less Seeing all without need for the travel Ignoring the scrutiny of a gavel Leaving in the morning Not stopping until the fifth night Learning for forty fortnights Stopping to rest every second year What a bright-eyed soul! A sparkling visage Adorning all her wanders The world is at her command

Claude spreads the legs of his first girlfriend and Recognizes the in-between From his sister’s. She was seventeen and silent; He, six and sobbing, Pushing the bamboo deeper After The men who ate Dinner with his father The week before Told him to. They said he had to **** her; said He was a Tutsi, and limp, and finally, “Farther!” She was wet with blood and he with tears Crouched down in the grass. At twenty-one, Claude hovers above His first love With closed eyes and dry cheeks. She is wet, with want, and Whimpering. Not from A stick’s broken branches, Or twelve men Holding her knees apart “Showing a cockroach how it’s done,” One by one Ants crawling toward her blood. Claude hears her closed-lip whimpers, Says how much he’ll always love her, and Cannot come.

I have a bad habit of falling for messed up people. Maybe it’s because my own sadness recognizes theirs. So darling, let's fall in love and apart.
