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.
Act
Lingering within,
Temptations appease,
Like listening to wind.
Believing in lies,
Wearing masks appeals,
Like cheering performance.
Fame and fortune sought,
To become gambled,
Like rolling snake eyes.
Dancing with statues,
Hewn grey built handshakes,
Like a graven loss.
Earthen accolades,
Monumental show
Like echoing chambers.
The funeral dirge,
Hearse and casket,
Like roses to play.
The curtain fallen,
Impromptu intent,
Like empty motive....

How roses reek
Bathing foster waters
multi petalled vines entwined
my torn skin would ache
a crown of thorns
lay opened
in mosaics
my strained ear would hear
light birds
my hands became
five petalled
fragranced heart
drying and pressing
flowers I burned

all ardently adorned

Born Babylonian
Her language was hidden,
Transcribing an impression
Of ancient hieroglyphics
In the walls of a heart
With dragon tongues.
Under antique tombstones,
She was an architect
Of symbiosis built
To reflect smoke and mirror
Behind a crackling fire.
As the sinful chambers projected,
Licking and lapping flames
Of lustful betrayal burned
Upon skin's touch like
The dance of her smoldering feet.
She earned a skull and dagger,
As her ignorant bliss
Of feigned, carnal indifference ...

Hymn to Creation
i.
in the beginning
there was a ram
made of wounds
and starlight
electrical currents
for blood masked
a humble den
of deceit
ii.
the bear tasted
of dark, honeyed pine
forming clenched palms
in the veiled morning mist
carpet burns on knees
that wholly eroticised
the initials carved
into a thigh
iii.
rabbit peered from her hole
flat-eared and frightened,
a universe imploding...

Call of Idols
Skies transpose
To the reason
Blowing wind
Vicarious now
Traverse cast
From the body
Uncertain when
Spiraling near
Presumed matter
Why the spatial
Currents direct
Physical allusion
Above hills
Call of idols
Into valleys
Moonlit nigh
Language universal
Down the slopes
Folds echo
Present thickening
...

Anxious Poetics
Spun of sugared fables and salted truths
I can easily fall prey to Anxiety's
penitent thoughts.
Watching monochrome yesterday's
and the million tomorrow's
that already haunt.
Feeding Melancholy laughter and smiles
in avoidance of cursed uncertainty
to be Apathy's pitiful child.
Becoming Happy's pretty 'lil liar
while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.

while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.

Rouge crossings\ AriesMoon versus solar eclipse
In tethered tremble
words from tipped tongue
fleeting fetus
we who have comets as eyes
pierced in vacant alphabet
do not mourn dawn
Denied once
existence
dissolving into
black madonna
rite
I am the embryo
eclipsed
unborn
umbra
child
unfathomed
oystered pearl
has bled
her dark red spiral flows
I found a piece called peace

Hymn to Dark Fruit
I.
what must it be like
for your ripe meat
to fall between
thumb and
finger
to pluck you straight
from the tree where
juice runs sweet
II.
your apple
is overturned,
love—
Eve only ever
loved men
III.
I think of you
in Persephone’s garden
laden in pomegranates
imagining you
at your most beautiful
every morning, red jewels
escape from your thighs
IV.
