  I thoroughly enjoyed your poem "Fabric of Love." It is deeply poignant, imbued with emotional layers of longing, tenderness, and consistent use of the figurative concept that love is a fabric we can retreat into. This is a unique and intriguing metaphor, adding an element of warmth and comfort to the complex journey of life and love you've described. The phrase “like an infant between a mother’s breasts” resonates with an undeniable sense of security and serenity. The simile here is effective and it brings out the innocence and vulnerability inherent in love. The recurring reference to this imagery is indeed captivating and lingers in the reader's consciousness long after the poem is read.
  
  As for suggestions, while your structure and rhythm are generally consistent and fluid, you might want to consider adding more punctuation to guide the reader's pace and interpretation. You beautifully juxtapose the harsh realities of life with the safety and enchantment associated with love. However, adding stanzas could help better separate these themes and maintain a neat flow of ideas. You might want to explore using more rhymes or alliteration to give it more of a musical melody when read aloud.
  
  In the line, 'Well within the fabric, I see the true colors,' are you referring to the colors of life, love, or the beloved? Perhaps you could clarify or develop this metaphor more, as it has potential for deep and beautiful imagery.
  
  In essence, your poem has remarkable strengths in the spaces of metaphoric representation and genuine emotions. Keep writing and experimenting, for you have a unique voice that creates an immersive reading experience. more »
