Alliteration:

Beautiful Sunday sunset sailing across the sea.

Your are the lovely, loyal, love of my life.

The sound of silence surrounded my silent soul.

Allusion:

A sexy, handsome and elegant man, just like Omar Sharif.

What you and I feel is, Romeo and Juliet’s crazy love.

Amplification:

He was a good person, one in a kind, that deserved heaven without a doubt.

She had a unique smell, she smelled like a garden full of roses freshly watered.

A beautiful sunset, a Sky divided into two different worlds, one by a storm made of steel and the other one by a cloud made of feathers.

Antithesis:

I will always love you; therefore, I will always hate you.

Tell me I am wrong if maybe, I am right that you love me.

Anthropomorphism:

The storm went wild and loud, she got anxious and screamed to the world that she was angry.

The trees danced to the sound of the wind.

The sky cried for hours, and every teardrop filled the rivers with sadness

Anaphora:

Stay with me until I fall asleep. Stay in my heart until the pain stops. Stay in my bed every night. Stay close to me until I die.

Stop the pain. Stop avoiding reality. Stop being evil. Stop killing people.

Never leave me. Never stop loving me. Never forget me.
