Metaphor (Poetry)


METAPHOR
The Pencil Case
© Beatrice Alesana-Rennie

The eraser erased my bad habits
While the pencil drew in new ones

The glue stick glued on a whole new face
As the scissors cut away my background and past
The ball point pen then made the changes permanent
While the colored pencils shaded in my body
The calculator changed my way of thinking
As the sharpener grazed over my rough edges
Finally, the ruler
I had to measure up to your standards
Now me and you
We walk, talk and think the same
Two moving as one
I don’t even know who I’ve become
What I was before
You’ve changed me more than you’ll ever know










Love Making
© Annesta

The image blaring so loud,
The carelessness of emotions,
Directed to the ocean’s tide.

Upon the lips of the shore,
It violated the property of humanity.
As the creature craved for more,
Overwhelmed by the desires of calamity
The sea declared it’s war,
A bondness overshadows ,
While a violent breeze blow ,
The earth was now in the gallows,
While a rhythmic gust showed,
Devouring everything for its keep,
Rough, but gentle, the creature enjoyed,
The ride he just deployed.












Rest Our Dear Cousin
© Michelle Alexander

Even though you are gone away,
Your love will always be here to stay.
You touched our hearts with so many things.

God knew you were the one to save,
He took you home to get some rest,
Even though we loved you best.

Our hearts are filled with so much pain,
God loved you more, there was no shame.

At this time we must let go.
Your memories we will keep a flow.
Rest our dear cousin with peace of mind,
Your memories will live on through.


Rest In Peace
Your Cousins









The Road I Choose
© Tim Steler

From the day I had you, you made me free.
The more I had you, the more I could flee.
Since that day I kept you close,
Now it's time, you should be a ghost.
You ran my life for so long,
Escaping myself in that bong.
This new road is hard and long I'm sure,
That old road I took will be no more.
It's time to change the way I lived,
I have so much I want to give.
So for all of you who choose this path,
I wish you luck, it will be hard.
Think about today, don't worry about tomorrow,
Day by day you will leave that sorrow.























"The Road Not Taken":
by : Robert Frost,

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Album - A Little South of Sanity
Lyrics - Amazing
(Steven Tyler, Richie Supa)

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah,I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die

Chorus:
It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light

It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay
Alive
Chorus

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

Absent

© Carolyn Lewis
In a sea of salt waters
Endevours are enclosed

As insobriety washes away
My lifes secrets are exposed
Loss all around me is fully evident
As my soul begins to scream
Not knowing where I am headed
But definitely knowing where I have been
Hurt keeps rolling in not knowing what is in store
Bandaging the broken pieces
That slowly washes upon shore
The water no longer blue
But instead a sea of red
Thinking about forever closing my eyes
And floating away on this drifting bed
To remember would be to much
To surrender leaves me no possibilities
Because the water is my life that is slowly drowning me














The Well

© Laurie A. Eisenhart
You were to be my well
But there was little to drink

How am I to slake my thirst
When you taunt me like an oasis

You were to be my armor
Yet I still was hurt by our own

How am I to survive
When your shield is translucent

You were to be my walls
But you were made of straw

How am I to reside
When you shelter is temporary

You were to be my farmer
But you eclipsed my sun

How am I to thrive in obscurity
When your fertilizer burns my soul

You were to be my concrete
But you were made of mud

How am I to stand on my own
When it is support which you lack

You were to be my bones
But there was no enrichment within

How am I to walk with vitality
When it is dust you became

You were to be my well
But there is little to drink

I will never be able to slake my thirst
For you will always be an oasis

Sheryl Crow
Everyday Is A Winding Road (Lyrics)

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice

Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
