A metaphor is a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity, i.e.

(Using 'like' or 'as')

The sun is like the god's forge, burning brightly in the sky.

You are as beautiful as a thousand roses, crisp in the morning air.

Sorry for the terrible examples, but they are simple versions of metaphors.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two things without using "like" or "as". Examples of metaphors include: "Time is a thief" and "Her eyes were pools of darkness."
