Premium Member A Metaphoric Blue

Amid the where’s and when’s and whys
The can’ts and won’ts and whiney sighs
Sit they with pencils as they paint
In words of metaphoric blue
In vain attempt to tightly grasp
The moment as it flashes past

Benign Neglect?

In this life, 
of inevitable recompense, 
of inescapable accountability, 
for collective responsibility, 
indifference to injustice
is not an option;
an epitasis, it is,
in this metaphoric 
epic drama of life

Of Depth

depth is a profound 
abyss that can be  
firmly filled with 
bottomless 
notions of 
metaphoric
intensity leading 
to the darkness of 
                  wisdom.

You have this look about you
That melts me in my core
It makes me weak about the knees
And brings me to the floor
Of course this is metaphoric
But I had to let you know
You have this look about you
That makes my blood just flow

Professor Doctor Hubbub

Acid Metaphoric was overused
Professor Doctor Hubbub was confused
"It might have been stolen
Or it might have swollen"
With tabby cats Professor Hubbub schmoozed

Translucent Wings

This paradox of flesh and spirit...
One being bright as the other dark
Withering it's flower aneath celestials sun
Ageless her renewing in timeless waters
Metaphoric streams a cocoon she waits..
Restless, these dreams to escape; to fly away.

In a Poem

~ I found you in a poem... waiting between the verses as metaphoric visions pulled me in atop the ripples, placing me before every autumn breath as I read with my eyes closed dreaming of all that I might find ~

Translucent Wings

This paradox of flesh and spirit...
One being bright as the other dark
Withering it's flower aneath celestial's sun
Ageless, her renewing amid timeless waters
Metaphoric streams a cocoon, she waits ?
Restless these dreams to escape yes, to fly away.

Magritte's Treachery

(Based on the painting “The Treachery of Images” by René Magritte)

If you label symbols traitors
Since they’re only indicators
Rather than the actual things they signify,
Then you’re logically unable
To affirm your very label
Is a truth and not a metaphoric lie.

Online Love

what is why as the metaphoric world
spins fibers once organic now plasmatic 

damsels in drag, boots in high-heels 
dancers swimming in tap-tap-tap

bras in search of breasts of real
nipples slip into a safety net

you sip away at your ghost
i toast with two pills and jello

Premium Member SPOKEN MOUTH LIKEN A SWORD AND ARROW-

visit your neighbors 
often you’ll wear out welcome
telling lies unwise
~
metaphoric yet
as so harmful as hitting
them with an ax,---chop
~
chop, chop, chop, chop, chop
wounding them spoken mouth as
swords kills with arrow

Birth of A Poem

What can be done with these pedestrian morsels?
I have tasted unformed clay before.

Phrases plead to be thrown into
the redeeming realm of manifestation.

Pushing to be metaphoric,
they will arise and come to me.

From some unplumbed soliloquy.

A Folding of the Light

On that day or night I will lay myself down somewhere between the folding of the light. Gone will be all thoughts of metaphoric butterfly or phoenix, nor any luminous tunnel. I will not be better or worse than I am now. Just this, mind will commence to paint itself with a far finer brush.

In the Rain

Balancing your pocketbook,
Umbrella and a bag
While the wet relentless rain
Accosts you is a drag.

Whipping wind is adding fuel
To metaphoric fire.
Wish that where you’re going
There would be a waiting dryer.

Nothing you can do when days
Are windy, wild and wet
Except to know that once you’re soaked,
No wetter can you get!

If You'Ve Got the Poison We'Ve Got, the Remedy

Ironic, how these wheels of time come round about....
Metaphoric make-shift boats sailing back across her Atlantic
Refugees fleeing their ancient ruins ? Turgid waters crashing skies
Blame it on the revolution but the truth is, they were never more than
A footnote stuffed within some dusty book case kept, amid some dusty room.

Blood Draped

It was coming up, the politics
like dirty sex
in tall Parthenium grass.

The panther was hiding on a steppingstone
watching the hot, field hockey
played with skulls of peers.

Mauled, the peach skin was
entertaining sunlight in
the metaphoric village.

Prisoners of false ceilings,
we sing the anthem with
the crowd of wolves.

metaphoric parody cup


I am own portal metaphoric lens 
walking parable of parables trend 
laden chaos and peaceful blue bubbling 
laced ecstasy-agony redoubling 
tessellated with light-shadow angles 
body-mind-soul mirroring time-space prisms 
life's stages, stanzaic modalities 
matrixed in three dimensional marrows 
merkabic, scope's aspiring bolero
translucent metaphoric sombrero

Metaphoric Whirlwind

I am offended 
by your metaphors,
they're vindictive
the way they dangle themselves 
above my heartstrings,
periodically plucking
when one gets tangled in the wind

they just hang there
like an untame pennon
waiting to flap
for blatant recognition

my, how you crave those squalls
with such ravenous gluttony,
gnawing at the pellucid air
as though it were chewable
