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.
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...

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...

wanting to impress you
i want to
impress you,
to swim
around
in
your mind,
to be
different,
to let
you in
to all of
my secrets,
to seal in
each thought,
and use
my tongue
like
your sunrise.

Yonder
Yonder horizon eclipsed,
By a clouded atmosphere,
And in the eye,
The storm before.
Raining to shape,
In clear view,
Unto nourishment,
Life open.
Earthen vessel,
Peak and valley,
Waterway traversed,
Rooted paths.
Change grounds,
Flows receptive,
Heart inspires,
Blossoms vibrance.
To find the sun,
Matter permeated,
Growing colorfully,
Weathering grey.
Chance creates,
Bearing a mind,
Emotion to prevail,
Metamorphosis.
In time,

Braile
I see you on the horizon
in violence sparking
you're playing with words again
yes, I can see...
tricky little metaphor
provoking the verb
colliding with intent
I watch closely then not at all
choosing not to see
I don't want to play today
the powers that be know me
I know them well
legions will ride or die
I am well-guarded
secreting my visions
weeping epiphanies I succumb
communicating with stars
you will never know their language
it is a language of nuances
a code you can't...

Stirring Crap
Erotic hedonist,
Remembering drama,
Through being nosey,
Gets a whiff.
Bodily functions,
In sensual lust,
Allude deception,
Subjecting confusion.
Snuffing ferment,
Disposable waste,
Whilst cleansing,
Healthy guts?
Twisted indulgence,
Never resisting,
Escaping extremity,
Perverted wonder.
Downward spiral,
Literal morality,
Mindfully exempt,
Ignorant bliss.
Semblant visage,
Crooked smile,
Chance plays,
Flushing away.
Head in toilet, ...

Freely New in Christ
Demon shrews incline, evening loops align.
Reading through the lines, thieving threw a sign.
Beaches, moon, and tide, reaching humankind.
Stealing fuses skies, weaving moves your mind.
Speaking dual device, reasons due divide.
Sweeping brooms to hide, feeling lunar pride.
Deeming useful lie, genies, spoons, or dye.
Scheming moods of night, keeping noon devised.
Seating cruel with shrine, seeming rule abides.
Greedy runes combine, seeking who is right.
Merely choosing sight, cheating ruins lives.
Fleeting clues...

The box and the Sun
The box does not know
of it's permanent lands of shadow
caught deep inside, where light cannot go
yet, the box is simply content though
while the Sun dies daily
giving off light and shadows so gayly
chasing it's own death every single day
just to search for the lost glory stolen away.
The box does not know of glory or shine
but it seems to live just fine
while the sun rises again and again
to falter under it's own hubris not at all thin
yet when the box is opened at last
it accepts the warmth the sun does cast
however the...

Vast
Vast, open expanse traversed betwixt destined transposition.
Encompassing all, through and around, viewable variations.
Whence begins, ends.
Ever, always.
Horizons envelop, fold, change.
Perpetual coursing, meandering, unraveling galactic fate.
Planes of impossible comprehension contrast.
The small, minute realization of self in reality.
Exponential fractals, like subatomic particles, chance the largest star.
To divide and displace levels and scales beyond perception.
Linear induction is dwarfed, as profound multiplying...

Dichotomy of Mind and Heart
Scientifically, legally obliged,
Unique, original, individual,
Intepretation applies,
Unironically unifying,
With definitions, semantics, observations, context,
Proving conviction,
In motive and intent,
Where beneath the surface,
There is judgment and opinion...
I see potential for art and heart.
Artistic, disposed imagination,
That's literal, physical, technical, carnal,
Perceives emotional attention span,
Vicariously separate,
In pride, prejudice, bias, and partiality,
Where any truth and purpose, ...
