It's Music.
Synesthesia. Tying multiple senses together so that stimulating one produces responses in another. If you ever see someone talking about hearing in color, than your smelling what I'm touching, and I feel what your saying.
I invented a piece of fictional artwork that I haven't even tried to prototype, to try and show what this sounds like, so that other people can smell this amazing sensation.
And I can't see it, but my mind knows how it should feel, and can hear the dried paint on the smell of the stretched canvas while this spark tries to speak into my eyes sweet enough for my ears to be able to see everyone saying:
"I feel you."

@kelseyhusky No seriously, you're good at this.
"hear the dried paint on the smell of the stretched canvas while this spark tries to speak into my eyes sweet enough for my ears to be able to see" is something I would be goddamn proud to have thought up and put to paper. The cadence there, the way it just rolls out with that light alliterative repetition buoying you along is exquisite.

@Soreth Music, right? Honestly, I'm stealing it from poetry youtube. It's all good stuff, (otherwise it might not be inspiring me to steal from it) but there are enough similarities in delivery that my ears start seeing patterns.
re: On Poetry
@Soreth Also, it's like the one form of expression where my tendency to think in parenthetical run-on sentences is both useful and allowed.
I also just really like playing with flow.
re: On Poetry
@kelseyhusky You've got some good flow rolling out there!
re: On Poetry
@Soreth I had to re-read this a few times to pick out the alliteration you were talking about, and yeah, that was very, very sweet. And completely intentional. 😇
re: On Poetry
@kelseyhusky Sometimes the subconscious is really really good at rolling out something excellent. Sometimes it takes a little massaging - either way, it's something you produced! :D
(Also, seriously, this is how alliteration should be used, imo. Subtly so as to carry things on, but in a way that isn't immediately obvious)
