Metaphorically they are
As rust to iron
In the fields of
The hunger demon
Ravaging timelessly
Small potatoes
Are like
The Grace of God....

That break
Metaphorically 
The camels back
The waysides chaplen says
Bring back heroin
We can't control 
Ice addicts...

I missed the rain
but the metaphorical hit
between the eyes
left me reeling
as I read the water smudged
calling card
of the wasting disease....

Things will fall into place, you say
if you truly believe, good things will come
you also believe in Santa, to my dismay
metaphorically perhaps, but still glum
I still believe, all though I am numb...

INTERPRETATION

 metaphorically
of thoughts
in the
 persistance
of
memory
once
perceived
in
gestures
of
spontaneous
innocence

this
necessity
in the
   constraint
of convention
  of events
in
 a distortion
 of desire...

Think metaphorically, 
Everyday, said my mentor.
When a word becomes
a sentence,
It could be a good story.

A story is created
By imagination,
But fantasy is not.
Perhaps hallucination,
Driving directions,
To create something.

Dive under any 
skirt that floats 
your way, Amish 
or otherwise,
metaphorically speaking.
Be an explorer.

Sail every sea until
you find the eddy 
you want to swirl in
the rest of your life.
Then stake your claim. 
Make it your own.

Metaphorically
 I want to kiss your mind
For the sweet thoughts it creates
I want to kiss your soul
For its blissfully fiery passions
Literally 
I want to kiss your succulent lips
As many times as I can
Before I close my eyes 
For the last time
BY Marcellus Wilinski...

centred everywhere
potent force omnipresent 
surges forth ripping form apart
metaphorically speaking
yet real in as felt

divine union within
renews silent bliss ignition
spiritual heart comes into focus
rapture unbound frolics free
this is what we’re here for ...

i feel as if i am a hermit crab without its shell,
homeless with no were to live and vulnerable,
as if life were a seagull it could devour me full,
who am i is a question i am constantly asking myself unfortunately,
it is still a mystery well unknown to me,
metaphorically i am lost at sea....

A silent movie 
Maybe silent realistically
Or not silent metaphorically
Silent
Because not verbal
Not silent 
Because with movements
Not silent
Because appealing
Silent 
Because there are no immediate actions
And without man's sympathy
Response and cooperation
A silent story 
May eventually die silently...

An effusive reflection of prose from the poet’s pen
Strokes of grace and luxuriant sentiments fly free
Embracing temperance like sapphire blooms of brilliance
Caressing the canvas most liberating, and significantly
Like clouds drifting in delicately hued cascades
Metaphorically silent within its ethereal afterglow....

how i walk in the sunshine
so incomplete
too surreal

how i pivot off my left foot
so right handed acting
so fictitional

how i place my hand on the doorknob
so obviously anxious
so internally enraged

how my clothes metaphorically rip off my body
so green with spots of grey aging
so overprotected and caged...

Metaphorically

I`m a working pony
ploughing the oft
turned over the soil of poetry.
On the race track
of pedigree mounts 
                      chasing medals and
                      honours, the  pony looks
                      bewildered 
                      but in the end 
                      we are Equus Ferus
and domesticated....

A screaming banshee
Her heart seems to yell
For pleasure beyond
I can bring her to life
She amuses so many
With her talented speech 
Timid she is not
She moves with force
A call that’s above all
Overwhelming its show
The banshee she is
Always yelling for love

"I am not a through street",
said the girl, metaphorically,
and her boyfriend clapped.
She thought he was being sarcastic
and didn't approve of that.
"Neither am I a cul-de-sac",
and this time he laughed
and dropped his cigarette.

A fathomless day
Visually blissful
Metaphorically ready

Musings from my 
Internal soul dragon
Suddenly heard

A blessed ribbon
Of purity wander
Into my heartstrings

Magnificent plumes 
Ribbon through my
Sweet marigold garden

Gauzy silky dandelion
Wisps guide imagination
And make poetry

Am I not gangsta enough?
I can tote a gun
And pass the smokey barrel to friends
Am I not ride or die?
But walking suits me just fine
Flags and community aren't my thing
I'd rather slit your throat metaphorically
To watch you leak shame
Recruitment is for pussies
But my incentatives on souls is the worlds
Oldest yet newest proffession
Just discovered...who might be 
A killer with warm blood...

Ronda Rousey just beat me up.
Beat me down would be more appropriate.
She choked me with her left arm over my neck
prolonging a breath to reach my lungs for a refresh.
I went for the elbow to the head, but she kicked out my legs
and I fell, metaphorically of course, on my death bed.
She wasn't done yet,
she had more to prove and less to expect.
I'll never again comment on a women's...
ability....

Sunweed



Sunflower sprouted happiness yet only just a weed,
   a gardens hated nemisis this beloved bad seed.
Mimicking society using others resources to feed,
   erected thick headed sunlight thief of greed...

Metaphorically speaking, this I do believe,
   a sunflowered populace thrives to deceive.
Just as a flower unable to uproot and leave,
   starving in the shadow behind this weed it grieves......
