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.

Jewelry
I want to make you two necklaces
One a long chain of my arms
The other a choker of kisses
I want you to make me two bracelets
Both your hands around both my wrists
Too tight to resist
I want you to make me a brooch
Your heart pinned against my breast
Beating perfect time
To the rhythm of mine.
One a long chain of my arms
The other a choker of kisses
I want you to make me two bracelets
Both your hands around both my wrists
Too tight to resist
I want you to make me a brooch
Your heart pinned against my breast
Beating perfect time
To the rhythm of mine.

Happy Hibiscus
Pretty flamingo dancers
tied to their partners in green
When the breeze gently blows
the garden is treated to a show,
of fiery flaming petals
and golden pollen bliss,
twirling the folds of their skirts
teasing insects with a kiss.
And when the wind subsides
the dancers stand composed,
their faces blushing brightly
cooled by showers of the hose.
tied to their partners in green
When the breeze gently blows
the garden is treated to a show,
of fiery flaming petals
and golden pollen bliss,
twirling the folds of their skirts
teasing insects with a kiss.
And when the wind subsides
the dancers stand composed,
their faces blushing brightly
cooled by showers of the hose.

Lakeside Patisserie
Terracotta landslide lava cake sky
Erupting in salt water taffy lake
As apricot jam sunlight bakes
The mineral cinnamon bun rocks
Feet dangle off dark chocolate docks
As light bathes pale marzipan gates
And titanium cream puff gulls cry and fly
Above fields of ripened pumpkin spice
For hungry blueberry whipped cream eyes
Rice flour and platinum alpenglow
Greets fading butterscotch valleys below
Doughy sand kneaded by invisible hands
And patted by soft...

Idea
When an idea dies, it brings transformation to itself and its beholder.
Likewise the memory of a deceased loved one, the idea can continue existing in the dimension of thoughts.
Maybe it travels and gets lost in the desert, waiting for an alchemist to transform it to gold.
Maybe it whispers to angelic demons in their heads about the beauty of meaninglessness and the vanity of the yellow star arousal.
Weeping for their fall from the complex consciousness of men, ideas seek their existential purpose and the reasons behind the abandonment by their creators. ...

Water Silk and Honey Flowers
Custard cotton lotus blossom
Petals open for her cheeky bee
Awash in nectar, milk and honey glee
Squeezing, cuddling water garden
Lily skin teases passion fruit lips
Dip, dive, nip
In the bud a tea rose mouth
Just south of pools of dewy light
Voluptuous praline taste of flesh
Slick and wet
With ebb and flow of bluest tides
Of water candy eyes
Drawing dulcet rivulets
From wells of sighs
Whispered, purred and kittenish
Blackberry...

Mexican Chocolate and Cherry Wine
Fingers trace
Aztec corn maze
Of freckled skin
That glints and hints
At dust of Mayan gold
Riches untold
That I must taste
Sucking, swallowing cacao kisses
From your sugar skull
And through your chili lips
Drunk on cinnamon flame hisses
Dessert wine mulled
Nutmeg orange sips
Plucking avocado eyes
Heaving steaming coffee sighs
Of vanilla rum spice heaven scent
Licorice whip smart sweet torment
To tease out...

Monday
Monday swam in like a mermaid
Brewing cirrus plumes in sky's distillery
For which to adorn her fair millinery
Of gold straw sunshine braid
Running the typical tropical gamut
In winding miles
From grinning halves of coconuts'
Amputated smiles
To passion flowers' alien petals
On chain link fences' metal
Here comes Monday
As she sashays
On bamboo heels
Wearing coffee fields
And a vanilla flower blouse
In which to house

Lion
I saw a rock concert today
It had four legs
And a golden mane
A hundred and fourteen decibels
Dressed in a fur coat
Padding the ground
With arch and stealthy paw
Playing to a mosquito crowd
In a stadium of sand
And brittle cymbal crash dry grass
Its only groupies were the clouds
As its amber gaze
Drank in wishing wells
Muddy silk bordered with giant grey lace
Majestic trim of elephant's face
And casual baubles
...

Autumn's Golden Sea
As I fell into autumn's golden sea
I came upon a coral reef
A forest of scarlet and copper leaves
Spilled like wine on crisp honey breeze
And I, the happy fish, swam merrily
Through glowing tides of autumnal glee
To wrap my fins 'round this landbound reef
And kiss the waves of this waterless sea
I came upon a coral reef
A forest of scarlet and copper leaves
Spilled like wine on crisp honey breeze
And I, the happy fish, swam merrily
Through glowing tides of autumnal glee
To wrap my fins 'round this landbound reef
And kiss the waves of this waterless sea

Freestyle
I don't "rock the funky sag"
but, I still got swag
I don't text using an emoji
I wear brims because I'm an "OG"
My rhymes are lyrical and satirical
and the very definition of empirical
Because like a Rolls Royce
they are my vehicle of choice
I wish you could see my smile
while you read this freestyle.

Fragment
Back from commercial the camera's on Mario,
dressed in his colors and gear,
crouched forward
on the bench, in the defecating position of athletes at rest—
He's the chief executive
now,
and principal owner—
playing
again, his return
as a player a grandiose gesture
to help
Pittsburgh become a contender.
Mario's virtuous angelic face, with his warm
brown eyes and
features symmetrically placed,
the magnanimous obverse in visual counterpoint
with the man
sharing his surname, Lemieux:
Claude's sneer and hot...

Vivarium
You fill my stomach with butterflies
Like I'm your own personal vivarium
Just a glass building
With two arms and two legs
I'm hollow and full of wings
Fluttering and flapping against
My inner walls
My eyes now belong to you
So let me drown you
In their Morpho blue
You shatter me open
To take my heart
Like a giant beating Monarch
Flowers bloom within me
When I'm with you
Tangling and curving
Giving their nectar like ...
