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.

The Fog
(1)
The tumbling stones
surrounded wombless porch
wobbly and apprehensive
oscillating
beneath my feet.
I step off,
in faded emerald fields
wading through blades of grass
softly grazing my skin
pure and nimble;
persistent with immunity of loss.
(2)
Darkness, unfolded
lethargic and unimposed
lingering
above the ground
suspicious of quietude offerings
decay in mire.
Purling the air
in billowy clouds
weighing
like a pull of wreck
in my lungs ...

Your eyes
in your eyes
your smile below
never seen-such
beauty that glow
never been
opposed to the beauty that show
always will be-there
knocking on your door
your smile below
never seen-such
beauty that glow
never been
opposed to the beauty that show
always will be-there
knocking on your door

Prop me on the ledge of heaven
Floating featherlight in the ether
As our bodies sing elysian rhymes
While consecrating crimson wishes
Filling me with the stars of Eros
Floating featherlight in the ether
As our bodies sing elysian rhymes
While consecrating crimson wishes
Filling me with the stars of Eros

Oh How I Hate The Morning
Darkness plays semicolon
as night portends the moon.
Lightness treads the ellipsis point
while the day brightly holds the sun.
Afar the crow greets the breaking dawn,
carrying sleep in it's full majesty.
Pressing upon the dreamscapes eye,
the faint cawing of a seemingly distant reality.
It pierces the deft eye of the pointillist
and splinters into a blinding kaleidoscope.
Filtering out an uncorrupted imaginations
tireless visions of spectral bliss.

Throw Away The Key....
It takes the opening of antiquated doors
& watching the bittersweet narrative play out before us.
To wander the nostalgic hallways, in awe, at the mortar & stone that we've built around picturesque landscapes.
Allowing a peace ~ like numbness to eclipse the burdening torment
__ just as the last curtain has been called. Realizing the fractured heart and impassioned tears were just a casualty

In Shadow of Enlightenment
Glass tears falling away from
see through shades of grey.
As eyes shatter over smiles
that never seem to fade.
Kneeling upon jaded knees the
hardened ground becomes apparent.
The sky turns cheek and I
quickly come apart.
Bearing this withered soul
awaiting raptures idle embrace.
Something stirs where nothing
holds precedence.
A shallow reckoning that leaves
me craving some remiss.
Satiating an innate hole that
voids a better half.
