I THIRST FOR YOU
“Amanda...I...my...heart...”
But...
I paused and instead hissed silently.
My dead heart had already started beating even without your blood.
I wanted to say that but refrained. I’m no cheesy man. I’m not a romantic too. I’m no poet. I don’t even know how to use metaphors. I’m not even sure if they were the right words to say. They were what I believed to be the right words to say but holy shit, I’m not even sure if I should believe myself.

Encore with the Devil
“You’re a match.”
“Flattering,” I say.
“It’s what you are,” he replies. “They built a tinderbox. You’re the spark.”
“That metaphor makes me nervous,” I say. “Matches burn out.”
“Not if they’re careful about where they aim,” he says.
“Careful is not a word I associate with you,” I mutter.
He smiles faintly.
“You’re rubbing off on me,” he says.
“Gross,” I say.
Silence stretches.
Then he clears his throat.

Grim Reaper's Bride
“There is a cave, Shannon, in the depths of space. It stretches on for infinity, lined with burning tallows. Candles soar to the heights of the stars. Rows of souls nestle together; wax drips as time runs out. Each flame is a life: newborns have full sticks, the middle aged are stubs, and the dying snuff in waxy pools.”
“That's impossible.”
“It's a metaphor. But it is true.”
“Are you a metaphor, then?”
He mused: “I consider myself a simile.”
I sighed. “Samael, what are you doing?”
His face soured, abyssal eyes returning to normal. “I- I don't... know.” He drew back from me, leaving me alone in the frigid air. His gaze darkened. There was a sudden change in his eyes. “What are you

I Married My Mate's Enemy
“It unnerves people.”
“It does,” she admitted. “Some are beginning to feel exposed.”
“That suggests they’re standing in places they didn’t expect to be illuminated.”
A faint smile flickered across her expression. “You enjoy metaphor.”
“I enjoy precision,” I said. “Metaphor just makes it easier to swallow.”
She exhaled. “You understand that this stalemate cannot continue indefinitely.”
“No,” I said. “But I understand who it benefits while it does.”
“And who is that?”
“Those hoping I’ll mistake frustration for failure,” I replied.

FATED TO A TYRANT
“Fortunately for you, the three of you stand on equal grounds to me. So if our position was reversed, I would defy the rules. I’ll drink the poison then stab the silver stake through my heart.”
“Again, very dramatic.”
“Again, it's a hyperbolic metaphor.”
“Hm.” She feigned a pensive expression, looking away as if lost in thought. And when she brought her gaze back to me again, she said, “I would drink the poison for you too, but I just don’t think I love you yet.”
“Oh, you don’t?”
She shook her head with a teasing light in her breathtakingly green eyes. “You haven’t even succeeded in winning over my own brand of affection, remember?”

Marked By The Cursed Alpha Prince
Then she grew serious as she told me, “Layla, you cannot poison the Hawthornes.”
I scowled. “I didn’t say poison. It was a metaphor”
“You were thinking it. I know. You don’t care about metaphors,” she said calmly. “They are masters of medicine and toxins. Their research halls are stronger than yours. Acting in rage will only kill you.”
She paused.
“And you cannot fight every battle for the downtrodden.”
“You are right, I don’t give two fucks about metaphors. I hate flowery language! But remember, when we were at their place,” I snapped, “ how we used to pray? Beg? Just for a life where we weren’t bruised or beaten?”

Bound by Voices
Eyes that were not quite eyes followed every motion of her breath.
> “All right,” Mira said, trying to sound like a patient teacher instead of someone mentoring a reality-bending toddler. “Lesson one: emotional regulation.”
> I don’t understand the term.
> “Obviously. Okay—humans feel things, but we don’t let those things turn the weather purple.”
> Purple is pretty.
> “It’s catastrophic.”
> So is love.
Mira sighed. “Oh, wonderful, you’ve discovered poetry again.”
From behind her, Adrian cleared his throat. “Maybe try… smaller metaphors?”

Caught Between the Vampire and the Alpha
“When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging and try filling it instead” stared at me in big blocky white letters. I stared at the motivation quote with the backdrop of an early morning beach of some crystalline blue ocean and wondered why I thought tacking that up in my locker was a good idea. I wasn’t even sure it made sense. “Robin Douglass, you are an idiot,” I whispered as I shook my head. That would explain why I’d think tacking up some silly quote would somehow change the insignificance and dullness of my life.

Dangerous Fake Love
she put in so loudly that some customers noticed our behavior.
I took her hand and lowered it. “I know you will. Where did you meet him?”
“It’s in the club, in the city, the one we have been before Queen when I am with my two coworkers. There he was, like a snake lurking to me to get trapped, bite me with his poison and leave me in a moribund state. That asshole!”
I cracked up at what she said. When she was angry and hurt, what she was saying became a metaphor or simile.

Once my Wife
she asked, the tiredness in her voice now lighter, almost curious.
“You break the breadcrumb trail,” he said. “We cut the obvious routes, create new ones, make her life look like smoke to anyone who might chase it.”
She laughed again. This time it was steadier. “You always use the fanciest metaphors when you’re tired.”
“I use the fancy metaphors because you like them.” He sighed, the kind of long breath shared between people who know themselves too well. “And because they make the work feel less like war and more like craft.”

Frequently Asked Questions
One of my favorite metaphors for love comes from 'The Notebook'—love as a storm. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and can leave you drenched in emotions, but there’s something exhilarating about standing in the rain together. Another gem is from 'Pride and Prejudice,' where love is a dance. The back-and-forth, the missteps, the eventual harmony—it’s all there. And who could forget Shakespeare’s 'Romeo and Juliet,' comparing love to light? It pierces darkness but can also blind you.
Then there’s the quieter, more enduring metaphors, like love as a garden in 'The Secret Garden.' It requires tending, patience, and sometimes, weeds must be pulled. Or love as a journey, like in 'The Alchemist,' where the pursuit itself shapes you. Each metaphor feels like a different flavor of the same emotion, and that’s what makes them so powerful.
