quilted heart

the thread i use is very durable
i need to make sure this patch work will never ribble out
all these needles and threads poised to stitch up
colourful patches collected
a life time of myriad colour, patterns, textures
entering, staying or leaving
the flow is constant
in and out my life
cool against my skin
colours filling me
textures reminding me
warming me
my heart smiling
my eyes crying
creases around my eyes
o that was funny
my body wrapped up
running with quilted heart along the beach
cool breeze shielded by you and you and you
love captured and held
love let go and returned
deep blue - you
fusia pink - me
i hold onto these threads
I place them all together
a collection of souls
I hold onto what is dear to me
what makes me...me
my patchwork heart
i have you and you and you to thank
for such beauty
