Metaphors In 'The Pilot's Wife' In the sea She threw her ring A metaphor For all to see In the 'Titanic' The necklace Was thrown too Another Metaphor Into the blue Metaphors For our dreams- Sometimes dashed A china plate Dropped and crashed Just as our fate Metaphors For our hopes Metaphors For our dreams Metaphors For all our schemes A single rose Thrown in the pool A diamond ring That precious jewel Down the drain What's it for Just another metaphor Floating away Sinking to black Symbolizing What we lack Dreams that were dashed Dreams we held dear Tantalizing Once so clear Candles too And fire light Warmth and love Held through the night Dreams without Form or substance Ashes dying Where we once danced Bring me back What I once held Return to me All I beheld Let me hug If just once more I'll take you even Without a metaphor We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us... how we can take it, what we can do wit |

very fine writing Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Jamie- Humble thanks Ron- truly - I appreciate your words Corinne- I wish the concept wee totally original with me - but Walter Benton said - in his 'Entry May 11": "...But I see you best unrelated ... without a metaphor to your name..." I hope I can be forgiven for extrapolating on the thought. Thank you Paula- I'm an incurable romantic - I make no apology - thank you |
