Best Lifemetaphor Poems
In the morning, sunlight gleaming through the bathroom window
Raising my eyes to greet an aging face
Knowing failures and despair, victories and joy
I remember
Scars are there, both in and out, from battles won and lost
And now has become history and the future changed to now
Past can never change
Would I want it to?
Flashing moments of poor choices and misbegotten dreams
Fleeting moments of love and romantic interludes
Daring moments of a time when life was eternal
I remember
From metaphor to conquistador, delinquent to a warrior
A face pieced together with smiles and teardrops
My lips against her lips with two hands gripping pistols
Thrill of the chase while the music played on
Changing the world left-handed
Holding her close with the right
Again, again?
In a heartbeat.
I remember
Decisions made, some good, some, bad, idealistic maybe
Don’t look back, reality gains as dreams die off
Why am I running, Why am I running
Hey! That’s me back there.
Now I remember.
don't be sucked in
by the metaphor of one person's war effort
in love's battlefield
desperate for change of social sciences
when stress adds up our minds the first to give
I set the stage for you to elaborate it
take the show of crucifying yourself away
to save me from myself
turn around so i can see that smile
and then we shake hands
to never betray one another with a kiss
