Cognize Poems | Examples

Time says goodbye

When I am alone, and sit and dream
When the world I dreamed is missing
Yes! I remember that is a room full of light
But now the light is missing
I can't tell if you're with me

So, please close up the windows 
And let the sun come into my room
Through the door you opened
For inside the light of me,
The light that you've met in dark

It's time to say goodbye
Horizons are never distal
Would I must find them alone
Without true light shared with you

I will move over the seas
That's how I cognize the whys 
No, they no longer exist
As the time insisted on saying goodby

Gate of Silent Wishes

Written: June 27, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Constance La France
Quote: "Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates. Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?" By Rumi.

           **************

It swings, not with rust, but a ghostly dance,
a silence that trails each gossamer stance.
The gateway asks nothing, but still it provides,
“Are you willing to leave something besides?”

Along a path strewn with thorn and primrose,
The hum of unseen bees in solemn rows.
And trees with arms wide enough to clasp,
any grief your godforsaken heart may grasp.

You don’t cognize what lies in the grave,
Only a wall shines—as a duplicate stave.
You weren’t prepared to inquire—
grief-stricken and spent, past all desire.

Then softly, behind the gate, will lean,
with the subtle grace of a silver screen.
This soliloquy was told, times before,
but grants each soul one sail to score.

Intrigued, hesitant, and eager, clear field,
still, my vision was pulled to a bald shield.
Groaning past the gate proved to be fate.
Should I enter through a stranger's gate?

I am Human

I am Human
I am complex in my nature,
And unmethodical.
I can appear aimless, but eventually suprise you when I reach mountain tops.

And the sweetness you see can be decieving
Rest assured bitterness may be hiding 
In secret places within me.
I may be friendly today, then arrogant in a decade
And that will still be me.

I constantly grow,
I constantly evolve,
Like a chameleon I instantly change with my environment.
Just a warning, Never say you know me.

I may allow you to know,
what I want you to know.
And unfold only what gives me peace,
I may deny you the satisfaction to see what eats down my spine.

I roll like seasons,
perhaps with treasons.
However, never lie to yourself 
and Say "you know the other"

For, reality is "the only person you can dare to entirely circumscribe
or rather cognize is yourself"
Not me, Not another

For I am human,
and as humans we are all unpredictable.
we are extraordinary living beings
And involuted

Following Your Heart

Everyone wants to cognize the earthly facts
The nature's hide and humans' knots tied
Untie them has long been the life's subject
The performers are right on the stage

All plays were collected in a history book
Wrong or right still awaits to decide 
Dreams last and run streams alike
Afar or near yet to be carefully identified

Our earthly parents are stuck in the Garden
They are awaiting your honest feedback
Messages from heaven winding into a guide
Either blessed-go-lucky or salvaged-from-sad

Firmly believed by his honest followers
Searching everywhere for the cross-links
As following guidance by hearts and legs
Rather than flirting with mouth and eyes

Lenient Path

Take action immediately
Whatever happens, don't yield hope
You never cognize when an epiphany strikes
They are knocking at the gates of your garden
Consider taking them by the horns.
Don't do anything unnecessary
Instead, sieve the lenient path
Between accomplishments and failures
Suggest a linear path.

Close Encounter Poetrix

If I stare at the sky,
         and I perceive your eyes
         May i cognize that in heaven... am i... ?

Zaffre Azure Chimera

on hyaloid shade phylum
of zaffre azure
swish
soulful scrutinize
apodictic vinculum
magniloquent 

wandering of wispy whooshes
wrapping wisps of weird warbles
shrivel olive trees
overflow no omen
drenched in sweat
summoned by chimera
once called passion
title assertion? 

baud pace of rimless dreams
blurred bark
bare branches
fruitless leaves
unfetter'd
sky loose

mythic gem idol
purine as Myrsine
space rock fit
moon zappily
uncanny 

azure drilled of ritzy rag doll
mesh shimmer blaze shackle  
include
dare
desire  

gaudy Sirius in darkened spell
mottled splendor
to cognize my path
as xanthic whispers
afresh

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Koel

cognize spring’s entrance

                                banqueting on new born buds...

                                    warbling waves suffused

Awareness of Sinfulness

When words upset you, you lose your childhood
It's dreadful to grasp that life is idyllic nearby
 
The youth have drawn, and no path forward
Grey hair has arisen, where is my getaway?

Eagerly flee what's in your nakedness
Spot your own hidden vices and weep
 
Also, cognize your sins before the final count
What you willfully did must be called to keep
 
The gatekeeper points are futile if ignored
Now we agnize that whiles aren't deceiving

 Undeniably, the soul within is mysterious
You will sway it despite its advancing

You yearn for the moral hubris of your stance
Its fading thrill is its final track lodging

The Magic of Living the Day

Let us live the day
each day...
That we live with the hazard
that it brings us...
Let's live erasing the past
from yesterday, creating the future
today...
Whether we accept it or not,
we will only cognize the answer
then... another day let's live,
with faith and in peace
today is today, tomorrow
 is however unknown...!

Casual Visitor From the Space

I came from closed nights,
sailing among stars,
passing through the clouds...
reached to this strange planet
of missions and tests,
  of calamity and hardship...
I came to clarify ideas,
amend my growth...
But I don't cognize how to act
with my magic
of alien, and
casual
Visitor... !

Opulent Relic Meander

The sensitive brilliance of a lighted flame. 
Yet, filled by vitality, will spark and inflame. 
I had been ashes, encouraged by your presence. 
At first, faint flares, yet before long propel us.

Utterly, we were talented to a calm rumble. 
I was interested in the brilliant shade fettle. 
Applauds such warm and compassionate eyes.
I don't cognize how you'll harm me in disguise.

Love sprouts as auld as the roses bloom in June.  
The gathering happiness under the halcyon moon. 
The people of yore wrote in regards to romance. 
We were unable to strive to conceal our happiness.

The fire was quenched by nightfall. 
Relics degraded to an opulent sprawl.

Life Can Be Compromising

Life can a dangerous
secret...
A deep mystery...
 But we must seek to unravel
life however...
But let us cognize how to be wise...
Life is not deciphered
in one life...
Decode it all
can be risky,
fatal, and
compromising... !

Believe Or Not Believe Me

Do not believe
  in  a silent person,
  that doesn't say a single word...
  Neither in the speaking person,
  while he does not  cognize  to be silent...!

Indecipherable

Of the green mystery
from the forest, realize that i
understand a little bit,
of the blue puzzle
from the sea, almost
I understand without
scares ...
I just can't
translate
messages that
your black  abyssal eyes
transmit:
they don’t say anything,
but they say everything, that
I cognize nothing ...!
