memories may heal 
         but some cut so very deep ~
             stitches must remain

I
through the looking glass
suspended in space.
caught in a daydream
blurred by destiny’s tears 
II
a personal portrait
a painting of passion
pulsating with a manicured 
imagined fantasy
III
painterly hues splashed 
upon the patchwork quilt 
of  a soul's reflection
mirrored in the heart...

Why do we long to conform to a defined ideal?
And why is that ideal so stagnant and predictable?
The patchwork quilt holds many more stories than the plain sheet
And yet a celebrity will die trying to maintain an image
How do we truly treasure the creative, entertaining snags that only visit on rare occasions?
Let’s bend the cookie cutters a bit....

	Heavens Mirror
	Written: by Tom Wright
	11/17/01
	
	Water, at night,
	Relays silent echoes in shimmering light;
	As if by God's design,
	An eternal mirror for the heavens;
	In it, I see a patchwork quilt, of stars, moon,
	And all that God hath set voice to;
	Perhaps replenished by His tears,
	Which I believe,
	He sheds o'er sinful man.

My language
of latin language powder,
fights between Hispanic
and Anglicism...
but lives curdled
of the many languages...
It harbors Arab subtleties
and Africans presents
and is studded with neologisms
of the inventors of words and concepts...
My Portuguese is a patchwork quilt
fruit of a base and several sources...
Fight for its universality
in the immense Babel
that is our world.. !...

orange, gold and red,
like sparkling gems on queen’s crown~
mother earth in sheen

gaudy leaves blown down,
lie in heaps before they fade~
burning tongues of fire

laid under our feet,
autumn leaves of varied hue~     
a neat patchwork quilt. 

dry leaves fly about,
hastened by autumnal breeze~
journey to the grave

gently laid to rest,
on nature’s warm breast....

A soft excited glowing sunburst center shows her love to flying things
a cheerful strawflower shows love to grasshoppers whose legs zing
Papery bracts pose as petals, fooling beetles falling from forest trees
Her patchwork quilt attracts butterflies, humans, and native bees
Butterflies flock to the quilt of the meadow, enjoying strawflower reveal.
Reveling in the happiness of the day and the joy that they now feel...

Slow motion,descending & suspended
in space.Caught in the daydream,this
rainbow of the mind,distracted blurs
of destiny’s tears through the looking glass
and landscapes of the mind.A personal
portrait,a painting of passion pulsating
in a manicured dream of private fantasy.
Painterly hues splashed & without direction
and uncontrolled zest.A collection of the
soul in a patchwork quilt of lost love,
reflected & mirrored in the heart....

Fallen leaves lie still
so colorful in their death
bed of warming hues

Acorns fall in bed
nestled neath a patchwork quilt
dream in cool crisp night

Autumn's cradled babes
matured, give birth to the same
all that will be, is

Waking every day
finding part of me behind
The loom threadbare and empty
no yarn there left to find

Coming apart in pieces
stitches lose their hem
Expectations falling fast
inching toward the end

Daylight into darkness
bespoken twill in threads
Voices used to mend and fit
silenced, like the dead

Sleeping with the remnants
dreams of memories lost
Desperations patchwork quilt
—blanketing the cost

(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)...

like my patchwork quilt
my grandma made for me
your love surrounds me
your love warms me

like a caramel brulee latte
sweet and creamy, thick and hot
your love fills me
your love warms me

like my favorite garbage salad
tasty and nourishing
your love sustains me
your love warms me

like a angel sent from heaven
to shelter and protect
your love a haven
your love warms me

for the many reasons
not enough metaphors
your love is immeasurable
your love is all...
