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.

Poetry power
When I tell my friends I write poetry,
They take the piss,
they don't understand the passion., misconceptions that's its all rainbows and flowers,
not realising the dedication,
that I put in the hours.
Driven by an emotional roller coaster,
Trying to navigate through feelings.
It is like the blinkers are on and they're blind to the inspiration that consumes us all around
Profound ,hearing the words in my head without a sound.
Ink bound thoughts from things I notice like never before,
enlightened vision,
clarity sparked intuition ...

Mission Statement
A poem's dream catcher lattice
Grabs words like flies in a spider's web
And though the juncture lacks status
There is some flow before it's ebb.
But thoughts are tough to snare so well
On such spaced out gossamer nets,
Enchanting, like a witches spell,
In a contest of arcane frets
As when musicians jam all night
In some improvisational mosh
Trying like hell for some delight
In a lyric or two that's posh
And whether or not it nabs a quid
It is how order charms the id.

obsession's lust
I hate you right now as I watch you work the room
a dazzler to be sure
it doesn't matter really
who we are is of no importance
a good obsession is better than a great relationship
I fuck better
flesh and blood being so disposable, interchangeable
was that her or she you gorged on last night?
in the guts of you, you know I'm right
I love pushing your buttons
I don't like intimacy
I despise cuddles
I'm difficult admittedly
I would rather you fuck a cunt
give her your cock
reserve your rage for...

A poem is...
Poetry relies upon trope." - Harold Bloom
a loose rondelet
A poem is.
A zoetrope. A drum is what
a poem is.
A poem is a spinning drum,
a frame about a central bulb.
Illusions of movements of dreams.

Howl at the moon
The coyotes howled
So furiously
They scared him.
My soul howls
So furiously for you
Are you scared?
Please know
I’m not as those wild dogs
Sniffing out a kill!
not feral to be feared
Just wildly longing for you,
my Alpha.
Come to me in the night
When the moon is full
And stars are bright
Reveal love again
Revel in our passion
Wild as the night
Let us roam the forests of our minds
Together
Unafraid
Passionately tangled
‘Neath a midsummer moon
As...
So furiously
They scared him.
My soul howls
So furiously for you
Are you scared?
Please know
I’m not as those wild dogs
Sniffing out a kill!
not feral to be feared
Just wildly longing for you,
my Alpha.
Come to me in the night
When the moon is full
And stars are bright
Reveal love again
Revel in our passion
Wild as the night

whispers
a metaphor on my tongue titillates
and I stumble whispering riddles to your nakedness
inside my soul weep
for what I cannot tell you
I sigh within myself for the breath of you
with heavy exhales of want
I desire you
within the sacredness of being
inside the silence
I keep your secrets safely tucked away
in the tomes of understanding
you are my mentor in love
I say my vows to your darkness
and utter my need to your greed
I am of no importance
I have captivated your eye
in the solemn honesty ...
and I stumble whispering riddles to your nakedness
inside my soul weep
for what I cannot tell you
I sigh within myself for the breath of you
with heavy exhales of want
I desire you
within the sacredness of being
inside the silence
I keep your secrets safely tucked away
in the tomes of understanding
you are my mentor in love
I say my vows to your darkness
and utter my need to your greed
I am of no importance

Sunrise
Up late and early when we need some sleep
Hard ambition marches into neglect
And like tea leaves in a boiling steep
Our very selves are soaked in disrespect
When brain toxins receive no chance to drain
To the currents of the Morphean stream
At the headwaters of pleasure and pain
And found in every prohibited dream
Damming the prospect of a better day,
A day devoid of cesspool thoughts,
Where all frustrations have been blown away
And leaving only the dream catcher clots
On cold logic's rectilinear grid...
Intermingled with...
Hard ambition marches into neglect
And like tea leaves in a boiling steep
Our very selves are soaked in disrespect
When brain toxins receive no chance to drain
To the currents of the Morphean stream
At the headwaters of pleasure and pain
And found in every prohibited dream
Damming the prospect of a better day,
A day devoid of cesspool thoughts,
Where all frustrations have been blown away
And leaving only the dream catcher clots
On cold logic's rectilinear grid...
Intermingled with...

Rymes
I take my time
When writing my rymes
Setting up each and every line
Filtered and refined
Like the finest bottle of wine
Symphonies of similes
Scattered Willingly
As I weave in and out
With poet agility
Mesmerising with my
Metaphorical ability
Truths leave my lips
With purest of sincerity
My thoughts are sporadic
I write poetry like I am a addict
Ink in my needle Rythmik
Like a savage
When writing my rymes
Setting up each and every line
Filtered and refined
Like the finest bottle of wine
Symphonies of similes
Scattered Willingly
As I weave in and out
With poet agility
Mesmerising with my
Metaphorical ability
Truths leave my lips
With purest of sincerity
My thoughts are sporadic
I write poetry like I am a addict
Ink in my needle Rythmik
Like a savage

Marking Time
Good lingo regards syllabic thrift
With intellection's distinguished forces
Providing the mind a proper sift
Like filtered archeologic sources
Which race all through cerebral nerves
Like Hermes with an Olympic letter
Faring as mastermind hors d'oeuvres
Making the cerebral diet better...
So much better than thoughts with no panache
Which do not serve to keep my wits afresh
Or as antipodal to trailer trash
As the legendary Gilgamesh,
Whose exploits on those tablets of clay
Keep oblivion for another day!
With intellection's distinguished forces
Providing the mind a proper sift
Like filtered archeologic sources
Which race all through cerebral nerves
Like Hermes with an Olympic letter
Faring as mastermind hors d'oeuvres
Making the cerebral diet better...
So much better than thoughts with no panache
Which do not serve to keep my wits afresh
Or as antipodal to trailer trash
As the legendary Gilgamesh,
Whose exploits on those tablets of clay
Keep oblivion for another day!

Dark Dreaming
powerless to resist
unable to desist
lines flow bold
on these pages I hold
words of dark dreaming
so innocent seeming
yet written in blood
now trapped in a flood
these my phantasies
dark alchemies
speaking blasphemies
that opens a door
for the next lines of prose
unwillingly composed
the spell now complete
with lines of deceit
the price my soul
has always been the goal
to write in rhythm and rhyme
with these my words
reality blurs
to live my phantasies
and dream...
unable to desist

daytime stellar nurseries skinnydipping into the Now
magnetic windblown
memories
curve horizonward
like civilizations forgotten
fractal tears
unwept
history's arc
pooling intoxicatingly
a distilled concoction
rising
scorched and triumphant
breath perfumed
with poesy
pile of masks
discarded
cityscapes of sandcastles
glittering through stained-glass thoughts
immutable soul beauty
rebuffing tide's twinkling caress
memories
curve horizonward
like civilizations forgotten

silence
I am the risk not taken
standing blushing wildly
waiting for you to taste me
my innocence smiles
and you know honesty
little notes of hope sparkle in my gaze
and you know my shine
I am the she that believes in you
dark of night can't take that from me
within my sacred heart vow
my soul belongs in your company
in the solemn silence
no words need be shared
they're understood
the art of knowing
sewn into my heart in metaphor
wisdom my covering
standing blushing wildly
waiting for you to taste me
my innocence smiles
and you know honesty
little notes of hope sparkle in my gaze
and you know my shine
I am the she that believes in you
dark of night can't take that from me
within my sacred heart vow
my soul belongs in your company
in the solemn silence
no words need be shared
they're understood
the art of knowing
sewn into my heart in metaphor
wisdom my covering
