Mannequin of Metaphors
When the malevolent moon drapes black current vines around my neck, etching the blood of betrayals in my white-whirling wings ~ I cease to scream in sanguine sighs within sangria songs ...

The Lunar Vein and Sunken Emeralds
The cragged moon, a curdled, midnight bloom, Where veins of frost, dissect a shadowed room. A galaxy of mold, on lunar stone, A whispered legend, soft and darkly known. It weeps a brine, a sharp, celestial tear, A pungent phantom, banishing all fear. Then, amber relics, in a glassy tomb, Where time's slow fingers, weave a spiced perfume. Each wrinkled emerald, a sunken,...

A Drawn Reflection
Is this what was meant for me… The drawn reflection of a man? Each step taken with the lightest touch, So many they tread a new course. At every bend, a choice was made, Drawing circles and channels upon the land. Choices made, lines in sand, The track lies ahead, not behind. I thought I’d rise, reflection true, With head held high, over the...

Bad at love
Repeating old mistakes Falling harder each and every time Love is a poison And I intend To drink this remedy Everyday Waiting for my destiny Love shall find even the undeserving Yet the deserving only find love at the end People who don’t look Find gold People searching for ages Find fools gold So if love is poison Let it drown me And then...

Metaphors In Life
Life is like a cup of coffee Sometimes bitter Add a little sugar Taste differently. Life is like a hamburger Both ends has cover In between has fillings For you to decide to eat....

Premium Member mismatched metaphors
misplaced in moonlight my muse lay mute and inkless~ venting in darkness like mourning mists crawling through sleepless stars before sunrise but between silence and twisted tunes of twilight I found silver runes carved with mismatched metaphors~ healing hymns amidst blurred lines… ...

Nuclear Warfare
Nuclear warfare?... Nuclear warfare, the storm's on the brink, How will it happen? Where will you sink? When the tidal wave of war crashes from the sea, What’s the first thought? Kids and my partner, gotta be. Holdin' hands as we vanish in the mist, End the war, nuclear warheads, clenched fists. UK next, for aiding Ukraine’s fight, Keir Starmer’s lies, truth in the night. Are we blind, do...

Premium Member Too many metaphors to get off the ground
So many bear traps Right now it's the bed I feel no one is out there Beyond the inches past my face I'm in a sliver of a void The reality is I'm in the dog house for not pulling my weight Conceptualising it Numb and zoned out Needing to snap out of caring But not over compensate with desensitising It's a delicate game...

Premium Member In the twilight of existence, where shadows speak in veiled metaphors
In the twilight of existence, where shadows speak in veiled metaphors, Man awakens to the whisper of his birth, a tender yet profound surrender. As the burdens of reality settle into the marrow of our bones, We understand the paradox of life: To be born is to surrender. Thus, existence, with its somber rhythm, becomes a tranquil river, Flowing gently,...

The Dance of Anger… A weary waltz, on a sheenless floor. Offbeat music gyrates an endless cycle. On two, accent anxiety’s weakness Syncopated rhythms erupt. Love songs are a miss. ...

My Heart was Captivated
Whenever I hear your name, My heart starts to pound I don't know if it's lame, But in my eyes, thousands of emotions can be found. At first, I don't know if it's love Having that feeling makes my heart throb. Your voice is a music in my ears Repeatedly playing while forgetting my fears I had this feeling, I kept for years For...

Premium Member Metaphors written in psychedelic ink
When words like seeds remain uncultivated, in somber silence the poet within me dies. In the misery of my perishing poetic oasis, petal like poems refuse to infuse idealistic pigments. But without words, a midnight beast lurks in thoughts hidden behind metaphors written in psychedelic ink. My beloved is a black rose who's thorns are like blades. Her pecan lips lustfully devour...

Quote: “To fathom hell, or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic” -- H. Osmond In the realm of metaphors, where words take flight, A kaleidoscope of colors, a psychedelic delight. Like whispers of dreams, they dance and sway, Unveiling the depths of emotions in their own unique way. In groovy swirls, the hippie...

Metaphors penned with psychedelic ink most times present as imagery, forthright. But, if they're scanned again- readers may think a nuance has come forth in a new light. To say one thing- and mean another brings a hidden vision lying deep beneath- not by the meaning of each word that springs; but deep where mystic undertones bequeath. “All comes alive with...

Premium Member Metaphors Written In Psychedelic Ink
Metaphors written in psychedelic ink inside my mind like a projector slide show of insanity. The flying pig in the boiling sea chastises me, I must uncover the cosmic key or the bull will smash all the inventory. I refuse to be a diamond in a sea of glass or Alice through the looking glass, or stare to long into the...
