Geometry.Parse (and as far as I can tell, it's back-end StreamGeometry) is indeed missing from the Windows Phone platform, but according to this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752293(v=vs.110).aspx

WPF provides two classes that provide mini-languages for describing geometric paths: StreamGeometry and PathFigureCollection.

PathFigureCollection is available for Windows Phone, so this looks like the place to check:

Now you just need to be able to create PathGeometry from the XAML-style markup. It looks like there are examples here for generating a Path from the XAML syntax:
