Can I Love You Metaphorically!

 

 

 

 

I want to make eye contact with your past
while kissing at your present 
with intent to hold hands with your future, 
Allow me to love you….
Metaphorically?
Stumbling through your spirit
Falling in love with what lies within
hoping I can dwell internally.
Let me inhale your intelligence,
and caress your character
exposing your morals and beliefs,
Showing me no fake ripple reflection,
just the authenticity of you.
Will you let me love you…
Metaphorically?
Allowing me to drift into your logic
and size-up your thoughts and reasoning
Embracing tenderly your pride,
Admiring the heart of your courage,
Inhaling the spirit of your strength.
I’d gladly drown in your sea of tears,
while throwing you a lifeline attached to love
Saving you, while saving myself.
Can I love you….
Metaphorically?
Let me remove your shell of pain
as we soak in desire together
bathing in the essence of you and I,
washing away the worries of this world.
I will never leave you alone....
when your heart is empty and at its lowest
My LOVE will intervene!
For life‘s heartaches are easier to bare...
with you.
Let me renew your mind and soul
and ignite the light in you once again,
with the presence of Faith
....but only if you Let me love you…
Metaphorically..

Such a sweet poem. I think we all start to love in the metaphorical mind. We see love as a symbol of what we want. Only after we flush out its true meaning do we accept true love. I loved this poem and the word play. I enjoyed its meaning. Thank you for sharing it.

even though the speaker is asking to love metaphorically..what follows in the poem represents real love.

it is so much more than the physical...that's great...but loving the person inside as well as out....loving the mind, spirit, heart...

all of that...it is real love...so wonderfully expressed by your words.

Jacob, thank you for the beautiful observation and lovely commentary! I really was going for the inner-spiritual love that runs deep and lives forever. I'm glad that you were able to see the path I took with this ink! Don't think I read any of your ink, but will definitely be checking you out soon! Thanks so much! xo

[Robert Strzalko]

A very beautiful piece. I think this is the most emotionally and spiritually powerful poem of yours that I have read thus far. It's the softness of a woman holding out her hand and opening her heart to the hardness that surrounds a man, hardness shaped by this cruel world.

[RainC]

So glad you could interpret my message beautifully, Robert!
Means a lot! Appreciate you immensely! :)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]
