Metaphor Poems
#metaphor
Metaphor poems, poetry using metaphors to create an image for the reader. You are not LIKE the sun, you ARE the sun! Metaphors are often used in poetry to explain emotions, feelings and relationships, which could not easily be described using ordinary language.
aspiring (poet)
i may
not seem
to be
the standard
poet,
but i
do aspire
to entertain,
to help
lines age
themselves,
unveil burning
candles, to
light up
the distance,
to
help give
sight to
the sightless.

Faded Rose
tender emotions well inside me
honesty in presentation my heart swells
tears form, I hide them inside, you never see them
you only see the glare of pain
it touches the hurt spots, that make me afraid of losing
a family of generations
attached to me, each in a unique way
my understanding shaken I stood alone
I didn't see the tears in your eyes
my eyes shone too brightly
then diminished in the light that glittered more than me
my Delta Dawn was a faded rose
divinely flavored with sorrow
you sup at God's breast

Still Life
If we broke it down
into palatable pieces
I’d of said something
about Jackson Pollock
and the colour of blood
how I’d never seen red
roll down glass outside
of movies.
Perhaps there’d be
the part where your spit
hit a cheek. How it burned
with the fury of lava—
this skin, a village
waiting for destruction
all terror,
all terror in the flood.
Some days, I float above fists
thinking of them as canvasses
on crooked easels. Blots
on fingers, feet &...

A Hand From Above
A gentle wind graces my brow.
From whence it came, my gate, steadily.
As if to guide, the atmosphere brightens.
Facing ahead, glowing radiance.
Warm embrace caresses softly.
Unfurling below, flourishing landscape.
Under the sun, the valley's folds.
Sounds are silent.
Heavenly direction.
I close my eyes.
Dimensions unify into one.
Peace is heard, heightening.
Mountainous peak.
Open as day, I see.
Perfect rhyme and time, always there.
Distant horizon behind.
Plane where silhouettes...

Impeded Purpose
Impeded purpose,
Pivotal truth,
Betwixt patience,
Eternal virtue.
Dynamic environs,
Observed conscious,
Always adapting,
Esoteric aesthetics.
Axiom mimesis,
Steadfast vicarious,
Emotional orient,
Chosen chanced.
Potential relation,
Travails unity,
Future resolution,
Pursues peace.

Ethereal Essence
Ethereal essence
Imagined upon
Whence transpiring
Direct discourse
What the riddle
Ransacked inside of
Empty space
To collect stars
Heart judges

Breath relative
Connecting sight
Taking time

Stealth in secrecy
Adverting codes

Binary affinity

Stolen aura

Encircling closure ...

Pendulum
A pendulum swings, as glances centerfold position of shadow.
Spiraling gravity lineage pushes.
Ahead, the turns of compound concentration amass.
Behind, an accelerated light blurs an escaping momentum.
It's time.
To find a way out.
I am released like a cannonball from a cannon, exploding into the night.
Resolution.
Exponential expanse.
Foundation.
Squaring the chance.
Alas, in the open.
Through the hollow, a coursing sight is captured.
The world.
Backbone stability.
All of the deception, secrecy. ...

Cycling a Poetic Ride
I will take my old red bike for a ride
when the muse sends a breeze from the hill
no matter what time, be it warmth or chill
i'll follow my feel, and Nature's tide
It may be midnight, dawn, or at dusk
when the tingle stirs a dormant nerve
i may even not be in such a hot verve
frozen with cold, or in the sun, i bask
I ride my bike sometimes at midnight
hear the engine rolling over its tires
an onomatopoeia sounds like barbed wires
sniper in the bush,lying out of sight
As i ride my bike i feel...

Sovereign Achievement
A problem was deceiving all.
Canonical, materials.
Denominal, criteria.
Impossible, obsequious.
To honor the appearance of.
Inaugural, imperious.
Phenomenal, imperial.
Demonstrable, empirical.
What sovereign achievement brought.
Performable, anterior.
Reformable, ulterior.
Unstoppable, superior.
Distorted once it equals us.
Methodical, exterior.
Inaudible, mysterious.
Unsolvable, interior.
Our common trust repeats as wants.
Remarkable, inebriant.
Rhetorical, inferior. ...

I'm appalled by my level of anger
it burns me with grief
not for my beliefs but the pain endured to gain wisdom
to understand your love
it hurts knowing that the world is against me
it is you, they are your instruments
each face a reflection of your feelings for me
Father, you had visions and manifestations
of companions that were to come
you created companions how bitterly they let you down
trespassing where they ought not
thinking they were being helpful
teaching the humans secrets of heaven
how dare they?

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS
Here I sit in my recliner with my silence of my thoughts, 🤔 for it is in these moments of lost time. WHEN I go back in time and I remember, what my grandfather use to say to me. For you will have to be your most strongest to learn, more about the establishment of life. That being trapped in a dark place for when it rains it pours, and it seems almost in possible to get out of the rain ☔☔🤨. For sometimes you just feel like giving up and you ask thyself what is the point, for it feels like the world is against you ever step you take in life. For I know I just have to...
