Who is there

your unrecognizable
self

to let in.

Peel away the skin
Of a young charred girl
Unrecognizable 
Nothing to give her away
Far, far away 
Her family wonders where is she...

Half-light traveled unrecognizable distance
Great belief being hardly found
Yet present knowledge transplanted in reality
Enfolds wildest dreams beyond feel...

Melodies cascading,
Rushing through my ways,
Landing and seeping
Into the harbours and the bays,
Time beat out by thousands of limbs
Made unrecognizable
Befor it begins....

Spitting venomous words
Like sour milk leaving an unsuspecting mouth
A face contorted into an unrecognizable creature
Tears pour from reddened eyes
Entity of a woman gone mad...

Our language in Canada and the USA
Originated in England but we've drifted away
Since the Mayflower landed
English got slanted
Quite unrecognizable in downtown San José...

Man straightened by the dead light pole, how does your life these streets?
Scratching metal helps you sleep and no rules are given to you king
unrecognizable your thrown; no one pays you any mind....

Our language in Canada and the U.S.of A.
Originated in England but we've sure drifted away
Since the Mayflower landed
English got slanted
Quite unrecognizable in downtown San José...

You, as far as I can tell, are 
On as many paths as I am pills; but even
Under the influence of both you and the little blues,
The innocence in your eyes is unrecognizable. 
"Hi, love," I whisper....

Wanting to own a new body.

To grow a new face.

Wishing to go unrecognizable
and
descend into space.

Off and unknown.

Confusion is home,
breaking your bones
with the sticks and the stones....

Snarks
By: Tom
3/7/2020

They speak with unrecognizable voices,
offspring from a family of snarks.
Disguised as life, they present two choices
swim fast, or be consumed by sharks.

found this notebook today
It had six poems
unrecognizable
but written by my hand
not unlike most other days
my personas keeping secrets from each other
I am in no way surprised I recognize none of it
my usual...

he’s not
the self
he used
to be
more like
a lost soul
unrecognizable
wishing
it to be
temporary
wanting
him back
to the self
we knew
the self
he used
to be

In 
A
Quiet 
Dark night a
Man abandoned his
Lifetime hometown to search a new
Life that brings him better opportunities to grow
Returning many years in an unrecognizable and respectful gentleman

I guess that’s it.
The last apple
Lies bruised,
Mourned, once cherished,
Fading,
In the basin of my memories.

Rotting,
Its changing colour,
And shape
Soon to be unrecognizable,
Miss-remembered,
Until its nothing it once was,
And then 
Returns to nothing....

Sweet warm winds
That tickle my very lobes
Linger long, for you tantalize
You tease me
Allowing feelings of
Unrecognizable joy

I smile while greeting you
For in the depths
Of my being
My heart comes alive
And wonderful tingling
Is felt in my very soul...

and I wandered under the stars
the balmy taste of wind on my lips
a whimsy of love in the air
just a few notes unrecognizable
tickling the nape of my neck
that’s when loneliness embraced me
the lover I recognized in the night

Compliance was not an option,
she shed her virtue.

Yielding to his words,
naked, alone and captured.

She played his toy,
unrecognizable to herself.

The blade cut deep,
her tears were meant to bleed.

The seduction was complete,
the candles wick blown out.

a strange world after life in the womb
eager to  grow , curious to see,  running on energy
the bell tolls as the pages turn 

battered by weather and wrinkled
broken teeth, broken heart, deaf ears,
soul all unrecognizable


Growing old broken!

She’s a chameleon
The reflection
Of her surroundings
Changing on a whim
With the world around her
Unrecognizable
One day to the next
Swaying with the wind
No one knows her
Least of all herself
Toying with the hearts
Of those around her

Two viruses are out there now
each can take your breath away
it's what they're born to do..
Two parasites are also out there
they attack the mind
until a lie becomes truth
and a truth becomes a lie.
While love along with a {the placebo}
sit under heavy stone-masks
unrecognizable
ineffective
forgotten....

My mind unrecognizable
 A twisted disfigurement of reality
 Memories always haunting me

 Mistake after mistake
 Determined my future
 Constant anguish
 Abides in my soul

 All this suffering I have caused
 Tears my soul apart

 Will I ever prepare to make amends
 Or will fear of rejection
 Overwhelm me...

I walk to you slowly.
I already feel your gaze.
You are miles away,
but I feel a warm haze.
When I get to your feet
what will you say?
Will you recognize me,
accept me, 
despite of my ways?
I keep hoping and praying
that I didn't stop too late,
that the life I had been living
hasn't given me 
an unrecognizable face....
