True imagery..

I want poetic metaphor to the highest degree without losing the meaning- meaning it must be abstract and still make sense to some degree. I have been slowly stretching my skill and I want to see what others have to offer. I was only going to make one prize, but I can be a bit indecisive, so I'm offering gold and silver prizes- woot!
This is my first contest and I want to be blown away.
It can be about any genre of your choice; make me laugh, make me cry, make me smile, make me horny, whatever, but if it's not what I'm looking for, I will delete because I have a 20 entry limit.

Please...
CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMAR!!!!
Why? It simply irritates me and can actually take away from the purity of the emotion and thought...
Please...
Write a note subtly describing, not explaining, the meaning of your emotion or thought---> without this I may or may not delete depending on the level of awesomeness and skill in the poem.

No form, scheme or rhyme is necessary, just make me feel with a beautiful blend of imagery using metaphor.. show me something different and truly blow me away...
