Best Similes Poems

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

Beloved
Your name is like perfume poured out
Take me away with you - let us hurry
Lover
I liken you my darling to a mare
Harnessed to one of pharaoh's chariots

Beloved
My lover is to me a sachet of myrhh
Resting between my breasts
Lover
How beautiful you are, my darling!
Your eyes are...

SIMILES



The rich soil in my garden is blacker than my wife’s  hair
The delicate velvety peach is soft as  her skin
Delights of rose and ruby are less than her lips’ freshness 

The sunset today  is as radiant as her dress
When darkness falls ...

You missed creative writing class today,
but don't worry about it.  It's okay.
Similes were on today's agenda,
and I took notes which I will lend ya. 

I'm happy to be of assistance.
Let me give you a "for instance".
The ocean is like the desert, friend,
Like my poems, they have...

Reflected in the waters of yesterday,
Considering all that has come and gone,
Affections for those who won’t betray…
Whisper through me like a heavy yawn.

Together with the trembling of night,
Crackling like leaves on autumn’s breath,
Glowing and shimmering in waves of light,
Keeping hope from her tremulous death.

On starry...

the words sting on the way down
burn my throat 
like tequila without a chaser
and slosh in the belly of my soul

"I don't want you anymore"

awaken the dull ache
salt the wound that never heals
but like rain on a cloudy day
it's a familiar feeling...

*** Life’s Journey ***

Life’s an orbiting
Around reality and imagining
On chosen roads
So much all a coming or a going,
In times of waiting or flowing,
Loving and forgiving,
Along a range of highs and lows,
Venturing the known and unknown ~
Life’s forever a crawling,
Hoping to rise and run — 
Perhaps...

You're my superhero and you don't even know why
Its because you're there for every pain hurt and cry
You're there for those who matter excluding yourself
Superheros like you cant be found anywhere else
Who gave you those powers to handle everything
Its obvious there's someone stronger a much...

We dont have to use our voice to scream
Because a voice isn't just words
It's art, it's our presence, it's how we exist
It's being unapologetically black

Our presence is like the rain after a drought
And the rain nourishes the ground
It's like walking into a room and it's...
