Long Similes Poems

The day was fine and sunlit,
Decorated by several clouds 
drifting aimlessly in the radiant ocean-blue sky.
Chorused by gentle puffs of the morning breeze,
Sending leaves on the streets twirling like
ballerinas in a dazzling and mesmerising dance.

Do not date a poet because 
Everyone would think he paint you
With his endless packs of words.

Blow after blow was struck, with blood rage engorged
Not one single word between them had been spoken

Sometimes, when 
your sparkling spirit 
waltzes with me 
to the perfumed 
periwinkle grooves 
of saffron breezes, 
I'm lost in a forever gaze,

where I ain't any 
velvet-purple orchid,...

Chemo poems, Metastatic Cancer poems,
Hair falling out in the shower poems

What is Poetry?

It is a theosophy of thought and commentary;  
transposed euphemisms of life’s temporal moments;
It is an attempt to fractalize single ideas and envelop them

A goddess with a pen hovered over the stone
She said I'm a muse, with a mission for you
To write a song titled "sunrise like a poem."

And peer through the depths of other peoples verbalized talents
Works of intricate emotion and stanzas of hyperboles oxymoron’s and similes

In a realm where feuds festered, fierce and free,
Two clans clashed, Kovacs and Petrovics, starkly set.
Amidst the mountains, a tale of sorrow spun,
Where bloodied bonds bespoke a bitter debt.

Within the heart of Europe's emerald embrace,

faced four who had come
to read the erudite refrains
of poets both dead and gone

Red of cherry that I wear on my lips-

how on his chest, they sketch similes

I read them, find metaphors hidden and realize it’s a poem..
