Hair so long, Hair so pretty

Woven colours
Into her auburn hair,
She weaves dreams and stories.
The colours carefully interlaced;
Alter by the week.
Each shade resembles her mood.
Sometimes fiery, sometimes blue.
Cascading down her delicate skin,
Are the midnight waves of emotions and dreams!

Heavenly curls
I trailed my hands along
her curly locks;
Entwining my fingers through fine silk.
Her hair reminded me of the prairies,
Of green grass, swaying in the wind.
I remember clearly the sunshine,
Bouncing off her tresses.
The dark hues playing
along with light;
Like water splashes on a terrain.
Is this heaven, I ask her once again?
Maybe it is — her curls reply.

The confident girl
Her hair bun reflects confidence;
Loose or taut!
It is made for her own liking.
With no bend in thoughts!
Her ponytail imbues loyalty,
Straight-up or low-lying,
It speaks volumes of her dignity.
Never argue with a girl like that!
Who knows her worth,
Every bit of the way.
Down to earth, she may be.
Raining down hell,
If ever wronged!

To my beloved
What are you looking at my beloved?
My long and lustrous locks?
It is nothing short of the
summertime scents,
After the rain.
Sometimes it drapes loosely,
Sometimes in careless knots,
At the lightest breeze or the
blowing wind,
It swirls and spins like a violent tornado.
Rebelling against oppression
and cruelty,
Like explosive mines and volcanoes.

Clouds before the rain
Her inky black tresses,
Remind me of clouds before the rain.
Amazed, I feel the feather
touch of her mane.
Shining bright like the
sea at night.
I keep on staring,
For she is my beloved.
My beautiful girl with
brown eyes
And pitch-black mane.

Aphrodite
I couldn't resist,
To look at her —
My Aphrodite!
In all white,
And long blown-out hair!
Even if she clips it,
She resembles
A white dove with tufts.
A crested pigeon,
A winged god,
With arrows for love and all that is good.

River beds of solace
Only in her hair
Do I find the river beds of solace —
I lay down besides the stream,
As I watch the broadening tide,
Make ripples more beautiful than a dream.
