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.

Heavy feather
Life is on top of me, eating my soul.
Whatever happened to all the hope?
People come and people go.
Why am I unable to just say no?
I am weak in a world of warriors.
Feeble mind, broken pieces of truth.
All life has done is make me a worrier.
All this pain is nothing new.
From the darkness comes a hope.
She is light inside a shadow.
I run to love with all I know.
Still haven’t learned; soon saying “Ow!”
Heavy Feather weighing me down under water.
Subconsciously I am falling apart.
Make me...

when the ink dries
lithographed memories, carbon copied pain
used currency to amuse
cheap counterfeits easily spent
I kept my soul hidden
well guarded within my inner sanctum of trust
the wallflowers wept with me
the graffiti on the walls scream for me
the dark spoke when I was too worn from battle
in innocence my mind sheltered
I wouldn't let your fornication of the soul in
I remain pure of heart
cold calculation your blunt instrument
did you think I couldn't see?
I was precise, you used brute force
you can't jimmy...

How I dare To No Longer Be Me -
How I dare to no longer be me
I will have to leave myself
and the rest far behind,
my lines shall run promptly
and I shall pen my new way,
letting this old self be carefully
tucked away, wrapping this poor
soul in cotton threads of confusion,
he will rest, I will lock the door
behind myself, he is now in his
quiet solitude, left to the very
chains that confine his innermost
secrets, all shrouded away, his
now self-exiled soul will drown
in that very darkness, his writing

Let Me Slip In -
I want to touch you so much
each of my words need to make
you blush, leaving my sensual
writing where it can make you
tremble, tasting me with each line.
I want your senses to wander,
alive, every time that you think
of me, I want you weak from desire,
to feel me inside of you, my thoughts
making love to you.
I want each memory to slip in
between your thighs, feeling that
completed thought of satisfaction,
laying naked in the sunset, being
warmed by what I have said.
My dreams...

Outside
the rain beats a keyboard
of leaves, mingles as music
with summer dust and drought—
clears a corridor, preparing
for the Autumnal Equinox
When a storm passes
as it always does, we who remain
carry on, pick up the fallen
flotsam and jetsom of debri—
in whatever form
the whirlwind left behind
Everything is fresh, clean—
largely green amid change;
and, ready to carry on
with whatever Life brings
because, Poetry

Butterfly Effect
It all began with a lovers sigh
A tongue sliding down an inner thigh
The heat from their bodies made it rise
With a little help from a butterfly
Now a soft breeze through your hair
Reminds you of a forgotten affair
The lovers faint scent takes you there
You slip a hand in your underwear
Building up steam and swirling around
Licks your body and cools you down
When you scream it muffles the sound
Sending a tempest out from Capetown
Across the ocean pushing great sails
Dancing along with the dolphins...
A tongue sliding down an inner thigh
The heat from their bodies made it rise
With a little help from a butterfly
Now a soft breeze through your hair
Reminds you of a forgotten affair

Building up steam and swirling around
Licks your body and cools you down
When you scream it muffles the sound
Sending a tempest out from Capetown
Across the ocean pushing great sails
Dancing along with the dolphins...

SUBLIMINAL THOUGHTS
Through the visions of your eyes what would you see through the visions of those eyes, for would you give someone a glimpse into the depth of your mere, subconsciousness and awareness of knowing your mind ? Through the stairways and gateways of your subconsciousness, would you trust your judgement and go to the deepness within your heart, and expose the true depth of your true emotions and feelings ?
Through the branches of the trees created in a way that breaths life into the air that we breath, would you journey deeper into the depth of the forest to see what is beyond the...

Love Of Writing -
When she finds herself
let her be the pages,
unending pages,
I want to be the ink
that is injected into her fibers,
let our veins run dark
let us bleed throughout ,
never separated again,
the pages and ink will fade,
but history
will continue to read
our pairing.
let her be the pages,

He’s been shitting all over the house
Even though we keep his litterbox clean.
We give each other sad and tired looks.
He must be sick.
Something must be wrong.
Even though we keep his litterbox clean.
We give each other sad and tired looks.

Prompted To Write -
Her words came across as soft
as her eyes, her lips showing
that slight smile just before she
began to speak, her words came
out like a dream to me.
Like that first moment of dawn,
with that one word, she gave
my mind new thoughts, with
that one word prompt, she gave
my soul it's new direction.
Ideas began to form, my thought
process slowly starting up, words
I visualize, words drifting down,
coating my paper sometimes in an
organized manner, sometimes not.
Placing these words in order...

November Baby
November was slinky and sexy
Like an alley cat sly and smooth
Slipping between the other months
Catching their eyes with her moves
She was always a bit of a gamble
Not exactly December's ways
Or the eve of Spring or Autumn
But she held both our birthdays
While the other months envied
The sign of this sexual beast
She danced among the winds
Licked her lips at a Turkey feast
Because that's just who she is
No need for bells or whistles
She's the horny petalled beauty
Rather like the pink wild thistle
Like an alley cat sly and smooth
Slipping between the other months
Catching their eyes with her moves
She was always a bit of a gamble
Not exactly December's ways
Or the eve of Spring or Autumn
But she held both our birthdays
While the other months envied
The sign of this sexual beast
She danced among the winds
Licked her lips at a Turkey feast
Because that's just who she is
No need for bells or whistles
She's the horny petalled beauty
Rather like the pink wild thistle
