The poem does not use much metaphor. There is one good example, "I tell of nights/ When I could taste the salt on his skin/ Salt of waves/ And of tears" (Vega 23-26). The purpose of this metaphor is to explain Odysseus' feelings via comparison. Calypso could "taste" the waves in his "sweat", or could feel that he wanted to go out to sea. The taste of his sweat being tears is analogous to her feeling his sadness and longing for his home.

There is a fair amount of imagery in the poem/song. One such example is: "I tell of nights/Where I could taste the salt on his skin." This creates an image of them, close to one another, no doubt intertwined in more ways than one, seeing as it is stated that they had an intimate relationship. Another such example is: "I watched him struggle with the sea
I knew that he was drowning." This gives us an image of him struggling to stay afloat, and her helping him, saving him.

My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island
And I waken to the dawn
A long time ago
I watched him struggle with the sea
I knew that he was drowning
And I brought him into me
Now today
Come morning light
He sails away
After one last night
I let him go.

My name is Calypso
My garden overflows
Thick and wild and hidden
Is the sweetness there that grows
My hair it blows long
As I sing into the wind
My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island
I tell of nights
Where I could taste the salt on his skin

Salt of the waves
And of tears
And though he, pulled away
I kept him here for years
I let him go

My name is Calypso
I have let him go
In the dawn he sails away
To be gone forever more
And the waves will take him in again
But he'll know their ways now
I will stand upon the shore
With a clean heart

And my song in the wind
The sand will sting my feet
And the sky will burn
It's a lonely time ahead
I do not ask him to return
I let him go
I let him go
