Terrific Figures of Speech


If it weren’t for nature I wouldn’t have your arms that crash into me like the roaring waves in the ocean and I wouldn’t be the rocky shore that admittedly accepts you. If it weren’t for nature I wouldn’t be as stubborn as a tree as you blow through me like the wind and make me sway as you pull and tangle my branches reaching out to you. If it weren't for nature I wouldn't blossom like a flower in a tender smile as you say my name, carefully and precisely as if to open me up perfectly and without disrupting beauty. If it weren’t for nature I wouldn’t enjoy storms the way I enjoy our late-night conversations that brew and stir up majestic thunder and lightning, causing me to revel in your profoundness. If it weren’t for nature I wouldn’t feel your touch the same way rain kisses and approaches my skin using different degrees of pressure that delicately rearrange my heart’s unscripted thirst. If it weren’t for nature I wouldn’t think of you in every way as nature becomes a metaphor describing what it’s like to conjoin scenery with you and your cosmic enchantment.
