#metaphore
Dazzling humanity obscuring my vision How can I see in a rolling sea Who shall I live for if not for myself With a biting, scratching, pain takes its place inside my skin Bypassing old routines, yet I am not free They come back The pain passes and the thoughts are thrown into the sea again. Newfound bud in a struggling soul An inner self with a small sack, heavy as a locomotive Will a dusk want to rise A sunrise to set A heart to bleed Through picturesque details A critical harvest Newly spun eyes to hear with In cheerful songs the fiddler cries Common homeland in different cities In original forms and sacred things, to be approached with reverence Midsummer dance in the prolonged cold Maintaining the aspiration to breathe life into one's past In the hope of better timber for the coming day. (TheOriginal poem in Swedish written by me) Bländande mänsklighet skymmer min syn Hur skall jag se i ett böljande hav Vem ska jag leva för om inte mig själv Med bitande, klösande smärta tar sin plats innanför min hud Kringgår gamla rutiner ändå är jag ej fri De kommer tillbaka Smärtan går över, tankarna kastas i havet igen Nyfunnen knopp i en ytterst kämpande själ Ett inre med liten säck, tung som ett lok Vill en skymning stiga? En soluppgång sjunka Ett hjärta blöda Genom pittoreska detaljer En kritisk skörd Nyspunna ögon att höra med I ****** visa gråter spelmannen Gemensam hembygd i olika städer I ursprungliga former och heliga ting, ska nalkas med vördnad Midsommardans i den långvariga kylan Bibehålla strävandet att blåsa liv i ens förflutna I hopp om bättre virke för kommande dag.

A day of many

The Pool
I'm emotionally sectioned, yet I still perceive all your calls and beckons. Why? Why do I feel the need to please you, with every action that I do, and how does this doubt I have still seep through? Pain... Pain is the periodical assault into my neuroqurtex, in other words I'm trapped into this vortex that is you. But that's my fault, for this, this is a self inflicted issue. I broke down when I wrote down my feelings on parchment and paper surrounded by haters that laugh when I cry, and I'm emotionally bound so when my tears start flowing and they start gawking, I wish they would all just die. But looking back at my previous issues and problems I realized I'm stronger because I have solved them. Strong enough to write this for you, explain my feelings I have twords you, yet this is all my fault, I should have for warned you. You pieced me together. Made me realize that no matter the weather I'm stronger that ever. Hell, with your pretty smile and eyes and a few thought out actions made me realize that my thought processes should be compromised. Love... Love is the longing of volatile emotions. Love makes my heart warped like a cataclysmic contortion, yet without your love  my life is no better than an abortion! Like I said before, I feel the need to please you, but if you don't have these feelings that I do, like a golem I'll be standing, waiting silently. But you've enchanted me. Now I have to revert to fantasy, live life like it will never be a reality. So I sit down and write out using verbs and pronoun's to describe how I feel now. These words... They may never reach you, but to be honest, I could never muster up the weakness to mistreat you. Compassion is my guiding action, no selfish thoughts or evil plans hatching. But I must be respectful and I pray these actions I take never make you resentful. That's the truth... and if the truth hurts then the truth works, and since I'm stuck here astonished how could I not be brutally honest. When its all said and done if its too much just tell me, because its your cross hairs that took aim and fell me, because its your captivating glance that withheld me, and I get it I'm a tad bit subsonic, but when it comes to my emotions I know that I'm on it. That's my piece, no yelling or screaming, like a golem I'll be standing, waiting silently.

It's like the only time I can see out of this hole Is when I'm trying to make sure others don't see That I'm digging it deeper And Deeper And Deeper And falling Further And Further And Further Until I can't get out of this deadly hole

Silent plea, no one will ever see
No name Oh to be someone With only a care for next task No need for counting breathing Then also who not to be Than to be that someone Who needs to think about tomorrow A calculator for the steps For you have to be Someone who lives for yesterday As aching is also an art Ever After leaving nothing behind but the broken glass slipper no name

No name
Words, Seemingly so positive, Yet so harmful. “You’re so small!” They say, Like handing me a medal. Words that will bounce around in my brain, Words that will shape my mind forever, Words that I will never let go of. I have to keep this medal.

my medal
Sometimes I wish That I had a Sign Like a constant notepad For people to read Maybe then they would try to Listen a little closer But I wear the silent bells now Calling with my empty voice The room gets bigger But I feel suffocated Fidgeting with no fingers Bleeding nails of yesterday Or mere seconds ago I spin walk around in an oval shape with edges Sometimes I wish for an open wound Needing care People bring bandage to a funeral And flowers to a wedding Pictures of the beautiful ****** Ignoring the anxiety cloud of a Girl I get through the sorl of breaths and coffe The sounds of the red light klonking loudly Breaking through my headphones Sometimes I really wished they could see See my constant struggle to survive in this neurotypical World

Autistic in a Neurotypical world
Delicate flower in the rain. Don’t hang your head down The rain is to gain Essential for growth and strength for your roots As the sun will come you’ll be flourishing too Delicate flower in the sun hold your head up before light is gone. Flourish and bloom all day long, showcase your colors till sunset will dawn. Delicate flower don’t you weep Hang down your head it’s time to sleep When a new day begins and sunrise sets in You’ll be blooming once more And we’ll be happy again! Shell ✨🐚

Delicate flower 🌹
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by while you were inking gold and glancing by; reading poetry you like. Oh my Lord I loved your style and though I hadn't written of this feelings all of my life, I always thought in metaphorical deep formating style. One beastly soul just loved my style becoming a better patrkCham mind. along with other Poets thought of me as different true and wild. Two wolves pretended to even like me in any form As a rich goody two shoes forelorned perceived was I in my skin so wrongly viewed, No sheep but Ram I am! Some even called me weird in dance and song so feared I guess they saw their own greedy eye revered. So as my story in poem flowed like a river rushing to the sea, some poets joined my plea to the sea I longed to join. And as my river ran along diverted its rushing went wrong my river the sea never joined. What's a river flowing! what's a metaphor in poem!, ~~~~~~~ Karijinbba Copy Rights 09-2020 revised.

Liquid metaphor
Mummified me tight in her web, she finds it funny that my eyes are left open. I shake but I cannot listen and I cannot scream and she stares until my heart is broken. she whispers and I read her lips: "I am fate, and you were held firm in my clutches ever since man has fallen. "Lay, watch, and twitch and remember my dear, every breath you take is testimony that you were chosen."

Fate
It comes with big fireworks of happiness Like an extra life that revives you at the final battle, Like a compliment that makes believe in yourself, Like an advent of a person with radiating hope. Euphoria - what it's called - catches your moments, Paints everything with eternal-like vivid hues, Triumphs your whole past in a meaningful-like song, Brings you a goal that has never existed. Then, it just stops the time around you, Lets you see the grey cloud of the present, Hear the empty vacuum of the past, Get dizzied by the blur of the future. It holes your soul with the deepest pit That eats up all the hopes remained or desired, All the energy left leaving only fatigue, All the senses that might make the soul living. The Mark of Death spreads its curse all over the body, Including the soul that just sits, lays inside, Letting the whole world behind half-living, Accepting death already by my side.

Mark of Death
For the one who has no rest from tempest to tempest, What does the word mean: summer? What does the word mean: winter or weather? Would he believe ever that there's a good weather? Would he believe in warmness and sunshine or any similar form, Or rather, would he see them as the lull before the storm? Wouldn't he see the sun as hiding new tortures? Wouldn't he hide under a tempest's cloak as turtles? Saying: Oh Sweet Home, I know you and you know me, Oh Sweet Roar, Thunder and Rain; follow me.

The Eye of the Storm
I remember as a village member, I cut a memorable road in the wood... I remember as a walking wobbler, Some deep thrill made shrill the route, Covered by the blackness of Blackwood. I remember as a faint bystander, What a dark power had that wild park, beware-embraced, making my eyes sharp, Taking its hideous darkness like a lark. I remember with a tender temper, Some river's ripping ceased my shiver, I - a thinker, harkened the silent timber, How the water seduced me to drink her, Whether I will fall to flaw, following her. I remember as a deep slumber, I answered the call, the fanfare, I heard; The song of the fake stream was a lake, A lake calling me with its narcotic ache. I remember as I remember, As if that freak lake wanted me to keep, As if that deep lake... made me to leap. I remember as a member of the lake, I cut a memorable road in the wood...

The Lake of Depression
Many words I despise to praise and smiles forcefully produced palms on their eyes, fretting to eye the truth that tastes so bitter but mixed with glitter looks just like gold to the bare eye. I dare not say I fret to speak what truth lies buried in their chest They'd run a thousand miles away and shriek at the top of their lungs to rip that chest apart dispose of a piece of art but never hear these words.. Easy to forebear lies within lies sweet and sinister, like robbing a maiden off virginity far better to taste, way easier to digest than relinquish your heart to her fresh love That is what they desire, not so deeply And I haul myself to write for a sea of lost souls and rivers of forgotten tears as mine whose owners please to shroud from what's indeed all human to see with heart, and devour with ears.

Lost souls
Mamma always told me- _I was struck motionless at the sight of her_ Son, Don't let me catch you playin' with fire.- _Her hair was ablaze_ One of these days you're gonna get burned. - _Yet I am but a moth to her flame_

Kissed by Fire
Turning page after page, searching web to web. Reading books and novels, prose and poems. For some metaphors - those were never been used in history to portray feminine beauty. No, they haven't left any not even a single one. Now, how shall I capture those deer like coal jet black eyes with so deep and calm stare? Then how shall I portray those earrings hanging like bunches of berry touching her fine jaw line? Which seems to be drawn by some Renaissance artist. How will I draw her lipwing of rose petals, flamed like scarlet wine? And that smile beneath the cheeks just like the before sunrise. Or her hair, flowing like waterfall down her shoulders same as rocky mountain.

Finding Metaphore for Her Beauty
Sun baked sand holds back withered shrubs From the slow salty invasion of Poseidon Drooping palms drop laden fruit On passing, unsuspecting, heads Where beauty once lay, now lies a trap Calm steadily turns to white-capped waves As surely as Poseidon's slow victory over the cliffs.

Sun and Sea
These ****** intentions seem to **** more than those so-called "reported" serial ******* To say, -off the record- that you give me both... feels very disturbingly corrupt yet thats not why you see me blushing. can this burning betrayal flesh be helped or better prevented? probably not my fight or flight instinct is to be the only suicidal bunny wet with desire, pressed up against the starving fox wanting you to give me it all. this is to be the root of my eternal damnation. have all these urges -that even you have yourself- really be tainting the fragile lining of my soul using only my sinful secrets like a parasite? or is the questioning of my own morality while you **** me religiously the real sin? How dare my mind even wonder while you posses me from the inside. if i am to be ****** for finding what you only long for then so be it, mark me ****** and chisel me into the future's mythology. and on that day, the divine powers from above decide to strike me down, when they smight me, plaguing me with some eternal curse I will welcome all fates with a smile. I found a love so powerful it made destiny insecure resulting as my name serving as some cautionary tail of knowing ones place forever blazing in the stories with danger and warning. but even if the sight of me were to turn you to stone, making me your demise, i will deliver your marble tomb each and every time. I will always choose to make you hard-always.

Call me Medusa
I hear the Siren's cry. A bittersweet laughing ruse full of a life fulfilled just out of earshot. Here I stand restrained. A mute with perfect hearing, A rigid, fettered meat husk. Jutte Bristles feast upon the flesh of my wrists- Vegetative vampiric cord. It holds me to my main sail in a sea of Violent storms. My ship tosses and bucks, riding the bull of Poseidon while phantoms of light dance on crests of oblivion. My sailors, ears plugged with wax Shift and sway on legs accustomed to rough waters. I Alone, Hear the call and strain to act. And what do these Goddesses of Lies offer, (for deep down I know what they are) these voices of fell winds wrapped in painful beauty. Riches or Aires? Sweet coupled love? Secrets of the Green Mirror? No, an end to loneliness. Become one with the sweet horror and chaos. Come dance over the waters with ****** abandon. Feast on the tripe of torn souls. I long to follow, but will not. Rope against bone and sinew. Blood pools at my ships rain-drenched trunk. The song it calls, it calls… Vile once-men, future minstrel demons, Abominations that haunt my ghost ship. Listen to your commander and allow me to follow these kisses of spectral wanton lust. Screams of anguish echo-- and then realization! It is my own voice that parts the waves of the storm soaked sea. It is my own voice that parts from the divine.

Silence for Odysseus

Atheist heart
Amongst all of the satellites in the sky above me, my beloved, you are by far the Sun, and,certainly I'm the Moon, constantly longing for you, running after you, thoroughly each night by night aware that you'll be doing the same, aware we won't actually ever meet.

When i feel like im drowning, i feel like im home. My fragile body, suspended animation, I swim like a stone. Wobbling bubbles erupt from my mouth, conciousness dissolving in the sun. Too quickly I'm loosing oxygen, the beauty sedates my urge to run. A cold caress numbs me as the waves hold on to me tighter. My thoughts stray from you, you'll drown with me, you blighter! Fishes swim past, they carry the rainbow under scales that shimmer with stardust! With an angels voice they sing a lullaby, slip into silent slumber I must! Here we go again, my ball and chain pulling me away. The ocean has swallowed the black sky, darkness calls to end my day. Blurry faces scream above the water, Brushing fingers a grip they cant find. There is no way back from this maze of mind! Am i dreaming,  is this fantasy, this peaceful state wont fit my reality!

You are a book i read By definition metaphorically Everything is on the page Chapter and verse not hidden But i do not see it!!! Gaping holes in consciousness Normal!!! Normal!!! Normal!!! If i could comprehend you always I would never fear one moment Of your existence is precious and holy To you not me unless I make it so Through effort Perhaps i will see you as a Folio in a wayside shrine

Folio
As crepuscular light ebbs across Celestial stretch amidst silky streams, Exhaling enchanted orange hue, Left along pathway of eventide... And sun descends into elysian blanket, As crystal rays entwined in embrace, Heralding glorious glimpse of moonbeams, Whose ascent adorns heaven's height... And sunset sank into a sweetly sleep, Twilight thrills...
