i remember the smell of the cats hair, coming out with sunshine and flwoers,
watching everywhere it wanted to go
i remember taking everything you could do and wseeing it from another direction,
i remember the places it used to flow.
i didnt ever seem i didnt ever believe, i didnt ever want to be anyting but me
i dont even know if i can see nide
but i know in my heart it will always arrive.
when is the day, that nothing else will come. nothing else can be known if noone is the known one.
nothing else believes.
Senses.
Hand out a thing, feel it.
ruffely, fragile, sweet, calm, delicate, light, spiney, bendy, alien, pointy, folded, symmetrical, overlapping, asymetrical,
and they swam out over the rufely sea,
delicate and calm and sweet,
over the waves and through the briny land of water when its held in your hand,
fishes, spiney and alien,
pointed, at where they could go next,
but never down deep, always in the light,
always keeping abreast.
overlapping their love,
like an asymetrical bond,
over they go like leaves,
findng calm in the folded ocean heart,
till at last my love they are home.
And They Danced….
and they swam
Metaphor
Each of these words- make the metaphor a physical thing.
Eg Anger is a firetruck.
Anger is
Bravery is
Fear is
Sorrow is
Dreams are
Sleep is
Death is
Then make each one a sentence.
e.g. Anger is a firetruck, it drives through town like a lunatic.
