Similes and Metaphors of Love

LOVE is like a figure of speech
It adds beauty to life
It inspires us to beat strife
It gives colors to sight
It expresses feelings tight.

LOVE is a rainbow 
It has its perfect timing
To beautify your surrounding 
It appears unexpectedly
Yet disappears  inevitably. 

LOVE is like a dictionary
It connotes different meanings 
For different beings
It happens synonymously
Nor perceive reversely.

Love is a fairy tale
It brings someone a magic
Or leaves you in tragic
In just a glimpse or wink of an eye
You and I can't deny.

LOVE is like a wifi 
If you're near
You're connected to a dear
If you're far away
You're searching for a day.

LOVE is movie
Where everyone has role to play
It's up to you if you do it that way
As long as you don't go astray
Still you know how to pray.

LOVE is like the value of x and y
If someone is missing
You need to seek unremitting
For they must go together 
To fulfill their functions better.

LOVE is a flower
It blooms abundantly
When needs are given sufficiently
It adapts itself to seasons
Yet it withers at certain reasons.

Love is like an antidote
It cures something
It heals hurt feeling
It offers a therapy
Until you look happy.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hello SKAT!Thanks for welcoming me. It's my first poem here. I just directly wrote my poem and submitted it last night. ...I just thought "it was just a try". I just enjoyed the moment when I tasked my students to make similes and metaphors about LOVE...they expressed it the way they felt..though most of them use hugot lines in Filipino language.... Well, as neophyte here...I must say some vital data about me: I am an English teacher, and a school paper adviser. I do love writing essay yet I try writing poems and now that I am pursuing another major in MAED-English Language Teaching, I must engage myself in more writing activities;thus, i try to post one of my poems here.

Ronalyn Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

I can directly feel this warm welcome from you LINDA and company. With so much appreciation from all of you here, I must provide extra time for this inspiring page in spite of the hectic schedule in school and other related works. I hope to post my essays, too.
