Can you give a list of metaphors?

a heart of gold

a heart of blackness, a mind of skill, a brain of Excellence, a heart of pain, A heart of stone
He has the heart of a lion
You are the sun in my sky
You are the light in my life
She is my East and my West, my compass.
You had better pull your socks up
Life is a mere dream, a fleeting shadow on a cloudy day.
Love is a lemon - either bitter of sweet (from Scott)
Drowning in the sea
Jumping for joy
Rolling in dough
Apple of my eye
It is raining cats and dogs
Love is a fragile flower opening to the warmth of Spring
Information travels faster in this modern age as our days start crawling away.
Life has a tendency to come back and bite you in the ass.
A riverboat shall be my horse.
A light in a sea of darkness.
Strength and dignity are her clothing.
A laugh in a sea of sadness.
