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.

Two peas in a pod
Two peas in a pod, we are like a family.
Two peas in a pod, the better half of me.
Two peas in a pod, she gets the best of me,
Like nobody else ever did, has, could, or would, do you see?
We are like two separate halves and three dimensional.
Like two fast cars, we need our petrol.
Like two shooting stars, she is my place to go.
Like water getting cold, she is my lovely snow.
Like a bull and matador, we are a rodeo show
And there are no clown cars in sight, only hope and sorrow.
Opposites attract, but we are identical. ...

God is real, but he's lazy
I had an interview with God, I said I thought he was a fraud.
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...

Writing
I pick you up
like a loving thought,
to be brought to life,
to be held, nurtured,
back and forth
from mind to paper,
wrapping myself around you
holding, waiting,
speak now,
justify my needs,
I will undo myself
and find new words
over and over again.

Laodicean Soul
Like a lost dove flying desperately
Over a lakefront shore
Was the labor of a levee as she arose
I took the liberty to lust in her throes
Only to find myself lost in her luster
Purple shades and the fragrance of lilac
She was neither hot nor cold
She had a laodicean soul
Lampblack shadows covered the sky
As her body loom over mine
Like a lithograph made from stone
Seduced by words unknown
Over a lakefront shore
Was the labor of a levee as she arose
I took the liberty to lust in her throes
Only to find myself lost in her luster
Purple shades and the fragrance of lilac
She was neither hot nor cold
She had a laodicean soul
Lampblack shadows covered the sky
As her body loom over mine
Like a lithograph made from stone
Seduced by words unknown

Here I am
I am a stone and I am crashing through my own window;
Where I will end up, nobody knows.
I am sure to never become a sure thing;
I doubt I will ever find a path to leave you to your wondering’s.
As I scream through the air like a banshee at night,
My words fall apart in front of your eyes.
I know a fool when I see one in the mirror;
My vision of love has become so unclear.
Next to you but without you, I stand here all alone.
Sit peacefully with me in these times of madness,
So when I fall I can hold my clone.
I...

Sit peacefully with me in these times of madness,

Sunglasses
I dance along the night
In flickering flames
I ride along the highway
In a chariot of silver-gold
My filigree is rose-laden
My degree's in "chill-out"
I'm a bachelor, sure enough
But I've only got one I love
I walk along the woods
Like a ranger or elf
I don't carry my dice
Only cards and cash
I am the highway
And I am the woods
Have I stolen your breath?
Or perhaps the heart of yours?
In flickering flames
I ride along the highway
In a chariot of silver-gold
My filigree is rose-laden
My degree's in "chill-out"
I'm a bachelor, sure enough
But I've only got one I love
I walk along the woods
Like a ranger or elf
I don't carry my dice
Only cards and cash
I am the highway
And I am the woods
Have I stolen your breath?
Or perhaps the heart of yours?

FELINAE DISH OF (A)STRAY THOUGHTS
Here Sweet Kitty Cat,
Papa Koo’s got a meat treat for you.
Your purr is honey on my eardrums, baby.
I know how much you loved
That whip cream in your dish—
I think for your dessert
I’ll cover my fingers
In butter rum-
Will that make you come
To me
And lick them
Like a good girl?
Or will you pretend that I’m
A deaf pigeon
And stalk me
With that bell
On your velvet collar
Clanging out a danger I can’t hear,
Licking your lips like a lover,
Dammit, take cover!

Maggots
I see a pile of maggots.
A verdant land now ragged.
A tick on the hide of the hound.
A purpose nowhere to be found.
I see a cloud of black flies.
They're digesting the white clouds.
They're infesting the blue sky.
They're excreting their toxins.
And with them we're locked in a box.
A verdant land now ragged.
A tick on the hide of the hound.
A purpose nowhere to be found.
I see a cloud of black flies.
They're digesting the white clouds.
They're infesting the blue sky.
They're excreting their toxins.
And with them we're locked in a box.

Smell the Roses
let a flower soak
in equal parts of rain and sun
then see how fast it grows
how ravishingly it blooms
and above all
how rare it is to see it wither
in equal parts of rain and sun
then see how fast it grows
how ravishingly it blooms
and above all
how rare it is to see it wither

The Soft Serve Van.
It plays the most ridiculous
annologue
badly recorded tune
That ice cream van
doing the rounds
on a Sunday morning
The business side of my brain
shudders when
adding the costs
of fuel
maintenance
a living wage
against the price of a cone
(Have to remind myself that not all business plans
are filled with logic and reason)
But the kids and I have turned
the 9H45 ...
